Haunted by the rebellion of his seemingly eternal companion, Lucius walked into the guard house he had conquered. It was just in time to avoid being caught by other patrols, which had increased due to a massacre close to the Varris family estate. Seven elves died as a result of Grimm's panic at leaving behind one of the precious fragments he was pushing Lucius to retrieve.
Since his threat to start borrowing power from Luz instead, Grimm refused to respond to Lucius' attempt at striking conversation. All he wanted to know was why the being panicked in such a way. Even when finding the first fragment on the vampire, there had been no signs of concern.
