The crowd all look at Reginald.
Crowd: The Cult? (One asks.)
Paladins: Yes sir!
Andrew seems confused.
A: What.
Paladins: Donāt struggle.
They keep him pinned down. One takes his hand and presses it against Andrews forehead. A light comes from it and shines brightly. The crowd watch in anticipation.
Paladins:ā¦

Paladins whispering: Sorry man. Dunno if sirās gone nuts or what.
A: Okay , friend.
Paladin (audibly): Sirā¦ This man is also a member of the Blue Dragon.
They bow again and jump off.
The crowd starts murmuring intensely again.

Some of the crowd members ask you to back off.
The crowd outburst in rage and bewilderment
Crowd: Its the mark of the Cult!

The paladins look at each other.
Paladins: Okayā¦ sirā¦
They investigate you to conffirm you are Blue Dragon.
R: See? And whenever I go near that man, this mark burns intensely and glows red. That can only mean he is a member of the cult!
The crowd die down
