[ robb's face is like stone, his voice like ice, and the mask of kingship just barely hides the undercurrent of fury in his voice. in his tone there dwells bared teeth, raised hackles, all just barely contained. for all the kingly restraint, the viciousness of it shines through. ]

There is a man upon this vessel named Magneto, who has done a great harm to my brother's companion, a lady named Alayne Stone. I call upon you to present yourself to answer for your crime, ser, and save me the task of hunting you down.

[ there is a moment's pause, as if he would say more but thinks better of it, and then disconnects. ]

Of course. Your room number?

[ And he'll be there, but it doesn't hurt to wait, allow Erik to calm himself down regardless. ]

[northerner]

[ gently inserts room number here because eppy forgot it ]

I shall be in the hall.

[swagneto]

[ Imaginary directions received, plus no response. Erik doesn't bother with any niceties, when he's here to sort out how to handle both Robb and Alayne. It takes him all of a few minutes to navigate the ship, coming by the hallway, dressed plainly to avoid any threats. It's not a truce attempt on Erik's part, given that he abandoned the helmet as well, but Erik at this point has nothing to hide, especially not to the only man standing in between him and Alayne. ]

Stark. [ Nothing more to say than that; he'll let the other man take the lead in directing his questions, because aggressive as he'd like to be right now, Erik isn't interested in incurring more enemies. ]

[ the grip of robb's hand on his sword hilt tightens. he'd sworn to so many people to hear this man out, that he would not act in haste, that he would be just and fair. and it had not been easy to promise these things, but it was even hearder to keep those promises. he could put his sword through this man's throat with ease.

but he stays his hand. ]

Magneto.

[ it takes such effort to keep his tone civil. ]

Offer me your explanation, if you care to.

[swagneto]

[ He could, and Erik raises both hands in a peace treaty gesture. Perhaps it's not the best indicator, knowing that Robb isn't from the same world as him but he goes ahead with it regardless, showing that he's unarmed. Though he notices the sword, part of him is aware that if Robb were to even try anything, that metal would be under Erik's control in a split second. ]

Do you take me for a man that would come all this way and refuse to? [ Canting his head side ways, he raises an eyebrow, unperturbed by the manner presented. ]

I'll spare you the effort of answering that. How familiar are you with the occurrence of the demons on board?
