The pandemonium was something that Leon would not go taking lightly. Although there was a call to arms, saying that the guild members were in trouble, he was going to trust all the others whom were going on that mission to it. The Lieutenant would not leave Eyris after the chaos that had broken out, and when he'd heard the word 'Sentria', he flinched. Anri hated deserts, he wasn't raised in them, and had little to no footing at all. The knight's own black, thick armor made for melee combat would not serve him well if he were to go alone on foot either. Both factors would render Leon useless on such a mission.
And the defense of his homeland came before anything. The guild would save themselves, for FEF was a strong bunch of fighters, practically family in its own right. There was never a time (especially since last year), where Leon doubted the group's strength. They'll be fine, I reckon... an' we're needed 'ere. "We" was referring to the Watch in general, the only defenders Eyris would have with so many going out to the desert. The least he did was pray silently that the Great Hero of Archanea would give these brave warriors strength and hope.
When he rode a little further (but not too far ahead of Aran), he saw another whom was following the same path as him as far as staying in the city and keeping order. This was Lady Isadora, a fellow knight of cavalry whom shared similar views to him as far as keeping their oaths. It was hard to imagine that just a few weeks earlier, the two of them were dining in the Hostess Restaurant without a care in the world. She too looked to be relieved as he was, but still alert.
"M'lady! Fancy seein' ya 'ere!" he greeted her, finally speaking for the first time since him and Aran were finishing their rounds. "I say we went an' wrapped up th' lot o' them loonies mighty quick, eh? I thought this kinda stuff was over when ya defeated tha' Loki.. but who am I kiddin'? Wi'out this kinda chaos, we wouldn't need our armor an' war steeds, would we?" He laughed slightly, and kept a grin afterwards. "... if ya want me t' be honest though... it feels good. I get t' act'lly do somethin'!"

When will this madness end? Isadora thought bitterly as she strolled in the streets, looking for any signs of mad criminals and delusional citizens. The paladin still couldn't figure out what had caused the madness in the city. Well, she understood how the mad patients and criminals escaped from the asylum. However, it still didn't explain the behavior of the citizens. Something must had caused it. She just couldn't figure out what caused it.
Just as she was decided to visit the health ward to see how the citizen's symptoms were, she heard a voice. Turning around, she saw Leon approaching. "Oh, it's nice to see you again. I have to thank you and the Watch for helping us. If it wasn't you and the Watch, we would still have madmen and criminals everywhere."
She nodded her head when Leon suggested of cleaning up the streets. It would be nice to have the streets back in order of control. However, peace was still out of hands when citizens were still in their little fantansies. There must be a solution to this messs. She frowned a bit when he mentioned Loki.
"I thought so too when we defeated him," Isadora spoke softly. There was a hint of doubt in her tone. "However, it seems that the madness of chaos still continue. I mean, first Tura, and now this? It looks as if we can never break the ring of madness, even if we want to."
Isadora laughed softly at Leon commented. "I don't know about that, Leon. Before, I was fighting against a mad woman. If it wasn't for my steed, I would have fallen trapped in that woman's hands from the very beginning."
It was then she frowned when she heard Leon felt good of doing something. She knew previously that the Watch lieutenant was down for a bit, back in the Hostess Club. As much as she wanted to be happy that the lieutenant was back to his old self again, she was not happy about the situation they were in.
"It's good to hear that you are doing well." Isadora said politely. "However, we are still in a bit of mess with madmen and criminals on the loose. And even if we round them up and lock them back where they belong, we still have our citizens who are in their delusional states. I still can't figure out what is the cause of it, whether it is a magic user who's doing it or not. I don't want to leave our citizens like this, but I am unable to help them when we don't know the cause of this effect."

Leon felt himself wrinkling his nose. Magic. How many times has that power gone and screwed everyone over again? He couldn't count the number of times on his fingers and toes. Oh, how he hated magic users who misused their powers. If knights had to be responsible with their weapons, then the mages, shamen, and others should have to follow some kind of code of honor as well! Otherwise, it was plain unbalanced.
He grumbled something, but didn't want to take his frustrations towards the mages on his fellow member of cavalry (and not in front of Aran either), for he knew that she had friends in magic users. The Guild's Captain was one of them, for goodness sake! It was not his place to stereotype all of them as warmongering warlocks and witches. "Dunno if if 'tis magic or not, M'lady. Like everythin' else since last year, I ain't seen nothin' like it. All I know is that 'til our work's done, I won't be restin'. I knew tha' I had tha' 'spresso for a reason."

The paladin noticed the Watch lieutenant wrinkled his nose. She wasn't sure what made him give the expression. Was it something that she had said? Isadora heard Leon grumbled, but couldn't make out what he was grumbling about. She hoped that whatever it was, he wouldn't hold an ill to what she said.
She then heard Leon replied, explaining that he hadn't seen it or figured out what caused it. Isadora let out a small frown. It would be nice to figure out what could make their peaceful city into a total chaos. However, Leon was right about one thing. They had work to do and it must be finish.
"Yes. Let's finish our work," Isadora nodded as she and Leon rode off to perform their duties.
After two hours of sending the delusional citizens to health clinic and capturing madmen, a guard came to her. The guard informed her that she was needed to go to Sentria, informing her that she was the only crew available. It seems that the crew were busy. Whatever it was, she did not know. However, order was order.
Isadora informed Leon that she had to go to Sentria, helping the reinforcement and the rescue to go. She asked Leon if he wanted to come with her. Whatever his answer was, it was his choice to make. Isadora snapped the reins and lead Tuomas to Eyris Castle. She hoped that she was not too late despite being the second fastest in Elibe.
