ROMULUS MALUS - KINGPIN - COTC

Something felt wrong. He doubted Agrimony's innocence in general, but his alibi lined up. Inferno remained honest about the necklace and their tracks were clearly imprinted freshly into the ground. That meant some animal was still out there. Romulus, seeing things clearer now, followed Brutei as they tracked the scent of their newest suspect. As they grew closer, the lion could smell that familiar scent again. The salt, the blood came back to his mind. Images of Zuriela's unconscious, bloody body came back into view and fueled his anger. Usually, he was calm and concise, but today, something changed in him. A child was down.

As they walked the river's edge, a diluted red hue started to travel down the water. Periwinkle hues followed it's path. His gaze looked up, locking on a large silhouette in the distance. Gerald. The lion did not blink or make a decision, only shot forward. Brutei had already darted in front of him, attempting to pluck them out of the water, but Romulus had a different plan in mind.

Outstretched paws attempted to push Agrimony back into the water. With his right paw trying to grab onto the other's shoulder, his left attempted to grab the the other's skin on the back of their head and plunge their head into the water. Romulus had no intent of drowning the other, only intimidating information out of them. If he was successful, he tried to force the other's head back out of the water, still holding them by his claws.

Between heavy breaths, Romulus let out a hiss. "ANSWER ME CAREFULLY," came his simple demand. He did not care that he was close to the other's ear. He wanted answers and he wanted them NOW.  "Did YOU hurt Zuriela?"
