Pepin had remained quite throughout the entire event that had unfolded from Devereaux’s reveal, observing from the sidelines the various reactions across the company. He himself was not invested in this in any deal, even if he had his own opinions on the subject of Vampyrs, and he certainly had no reason to hate or distrust the jester for any reason. If anything, he found some of the reactions to be completely out of line. Still, what’s done was done and now the commotion was dispersing and, much to his relief, it did so peacefully.
He took the time to sit and smoke by the fire, but was also approached by Alberto and Cécilia as they first commented on what had happened, but then also asked about what might happen in Brannoria with the cambions. Pepin took a draft from his cigarette and grunted, nodding his head to their words. “If it happens, and I think that is likely, madame, then… we’ll simply have to defend them, no?” he asked, looking into the fire before moving his gaze towards them again. “Whether its with words or steel.”
He then shook his head, turning his gaze over to some of the other members of the company with a frown on his face. “As for them. If they get worked up like that again? Well… I say discipline needs to be established. One way or another.”
