This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sora nodded in agreement with Moira, "Yeah, they did invite us back, amazingly enough." She was about to join Moira and Nemeia at the door but after a moment of thought decided to wait out of sight to see how things would play out first.

The guards at the gate look at each other briefly before they look back at Moira. One of them nods back to her saying,"Wait one moment, ma'am, I'll go check for you."The guard turns and heads inside the castle, while the other guard remains vigilant at his post.
Barely a few minutes pass before a tall, and now much more familiar royal guard walks up to the gate along with the previous guard that was there before.
"Good morning, Lady Moira." Anastasia greets her, "We're ready for you and your ... friends?"She looks around as she leaves the obvious question hanging, wondering where everyone else is.
Blushing Moira responds "It is just Moira. Some were concerned about coming in as a group." When Anastasia mentions cloaks she chuckles lightly. "I'm not sure that someone running a bundle of cloaks out to them would be any less suspicious. I think they just wanted us to enter and then will follow in a moment."
Hi, yes, that's us, says Witt brightly. We're all friends, but thank you for checking, captain. Should we go in now? I don't know if anyone's watching us, honestly if they are, they're probably more confused than anything.
Witt find himself surprised at how eager he is to return to the castle, but as it's where he's needed, perhaps it's not such a strange feeling.
The guard captain nods back at Moira and gives Witt a smile,"Very well, please come in, we can wait for the others inside."She then looks over at the other guards, "When the rest of our guests arrive ..." She took a moment to make sure to look over at where the others were standing so the guards understood who she meant specifically,"You can let them inside right away."
Nemeia thanks the captain and makes her way through the entrance. Always fascinated with places, she looks around to see what waited on the other side of the gate.
Sora waits for some time after watching the others start heading inside. After enough time has passed she made her way to the gate as inconspicuously as possible along with anyone who was following her.
"Hello, I believe Konor's waiting for us." She tells the guards as soon as she's close enough to avoid being easily overheard.
The guards take note of Sora, 9, and anyone else with them as they move up to gate, and simply open the gate to allow them through without issue. Those who go inside the castle soon find themselves all gathered in a small but comfortable sitting room with plenty of comfortable couches to sit on as they wait for the rest of the group to arrive. For the time being any servants or guards you speak to will let you know that Konor is finishing up another meeting and will join you all soon.
Nemeia finds a comfortable seat and waits for the others to arrive. It was nice to still be welcomed into the castle after the craziness of what happened at the gala. She was looking forward to solving this mystery and adding to her own renown. Her father was going to be so proud of her if her name was song about by the traveling bards for her skills in solving the case.
The Guard Captain looks over to Moria from her guarding stance on the far end of the room,"A few years now."She speaks a bit softly now, as if slightly uncomfortable and not used to speaking casually with guests.
Sora made her way inside shortly afterwards and without much hesitation just sat lazily on an open seat in one of the couches. "Well it's always nice to be back here. I guess." She spoke as if she wasn't really convinced but almost trying to be polite.
Yes, it is,says Witt, Sora's lack of conviction going right over his head. I hope we don't bother anyone. I imagine everyone is really tired after last night's excitement. I mean the gala,he adds. Mostly the gala.
Several minutes pass after the entire group arrives in the waiting room, with Anastasia happily - though somewhat awkwardly - conversing with the group. The moment is interrupted by the loud and quick opening of the nearby hallway doors, revealing Konor standing on the other side.
"Good you've all made it, I am glad to see you all back here so quickly so we can deal with this menace as soon as possible."Konor greets everyone with an unintentionally imposing smile. Though his outfit is a bit more casual then the formal affair he wore to the gala, he still wears high quality custom tailored clothing befitting royalty. However, the outfit is clearly designed for functionality as well, made of a sleeveless shirt and vest for ease of movement which display his massive muscular arms, as well as a thick black leather finely embroidered strap which holds the huge two handed sword still strapped to his back. It is a dichotomy that is nonetheless clearly his singular style.
"I tend to prefer not wasting time on trivialities, if you feel the same as I we can head directly to the dungeon now to speak with our prisoner."Konor quickly continues in a polite yet very blunt manner.

Nemeia follows in tow. She was excited to see more of the castle.

Khorzik follows Nemeia, disguise still intact.
9 waits with Sora, and enters with her.

Nemeia does the 'come here', wave behind her trying to get the others to approach.
Sora waves her hand in front of her face as she tries to lock eyes with the Guard Captain. Hoping she'll realize the desire for a bit more subtlety.
It takes a moment for Anastasia to catch sight of the others, and a moment more before she begins to realize what the group's intention is.
She leans closer to Moira and asks, "Maybe I should get some cloaks for everyone who doesn't want to be seen coming in?"

"Anastasia, have you worked for the guard here long?"
