Oh, Deryk was there. Ofelia hadn't really noticed him, which was stupid considering he was one of the people that had had their places taken, and the teen waited for it to start clearing out a bit, or for everyone to get their bands, before she walked over to his side. She had something to talk to him about, something he might like to hear.
Granted this was probably a very bad time to talk about it, they'd need to wait a while for everything to settle down, but she had something to say. "Deryk. Ah've got information Ah think yer gonna wanna hear." Her ability to keep her voice low as she spoke to him was nothing short of impressive. Maybe it was because she had a ring of exploding death on her arm that kept her calm or maybe it was because of the present company. Caelius had banished two hunters, Ofelia had a vague idea of what might have happened. "It sorta involves Kat an' Ryan - or sommin' that could happen ta 'em, but mostly Mike."
She was probably very off on her idea of Kat and Ryan but saying things to give hope never hurt anyone, right?

Hearing his name, Deryk looked up towards Ofelia. He soon furrowed his brow and cast a glance towards Caelius. Why was she bringing this up right now? "...canitwait?Thisreallyisn'tagoodtime.." he muttered lowly and quickly. The mention of those three names did catch his interest, but again, this was a poor time to be talking about them. Not while they were anywhere near Caelius... just in case.

"Oh, yeah, a'course it can wait. It's jus' casual banter anyway." Ofelia waved her hand back and forth to indicate she understood, somehow managing to use the proper motion of 'putting it aside'. The bracelet rolled up and down her arm with the motion, setting her hair on end and also reminding her of the place she was in. "Plus Ah gotta make sommin' ta eat. We catch up later?"
Maybe her trip to get the information had made her learn to be more discreet, or maybe she really was hungry.

Deryk let out a sigh, then nodded to Ofelia. "Y-yeah. Sure. See you later then.. yes," he said quietly, then got on up so that he could leave before Caelius decided to do something about them not walking out after being dismissed.

Clerise looked at the photos with bland disinterest, mentally checking out.
Her life was now in his hands. She'd never sleep easy again.
{[ Don't let this become us, sheila. ]}
I won't.

Ofelia watched Deryk go and actually waved him off, seeing as it was the polite thing to do, and she took one final look at Caelius and Mark before her brain formulated her next set of plans. She really was hungry after all, just talking about a sandwich made her want one, and she glanced about to see if anyone was left.
A quiet number, sure, but they were all focused on bracelets and the photos that should and would make a normal person lose their appetite. Ofelia wondered if she had enough stuff to make finger sandwiches.
With that in mind she departed, listening to the sound of silence in her head. It would have been so much nicer if the silence was forced and not by choice.

Eva stared hard at the bracelets around her friends' wrists, but said nothing. She would be good and behave, as promised, and as threatened if the photos that were scattered across the table were any indication. She gave the pictures a quick, fleeting glance before she had to look away, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself. Gale would not become like them. Not him, or Jude, or Clerise, or anyone else--just as Caelius intended, they were all going to be on their best behaviour and redeem themselves so that the cuffs could be removed from their volunteers.
Was that it, then? It looked like Caelius had dismissed them all. She cast the room a quick glance, noting that some people were leaving. She moved to push back her chair, but paused mid-rise to eye those who were still present. After a moment of thought, she reached out to give Gale a gentle squeeze on the shoulder, her voice dropped to a whisper, as if she wanted to be extra cautious when they were around Caelius now. "Let's go."
As she passed back Clerise, she leaned down briefly to give the girl a light, one armed hug around the shoulders, offering the others a small smile before ducking out.
