Of course, Captain Orin was appropriately surprised and shocked. But he didn't let Slya and Tiber go immediately because they might be part of the assassination as well.
Instead, he called his men to detain them while he began an investigation.
He went to the ruin to inspect the body, and he could only watch in disgust at the way Thane died. Although the assassin couldn't be directly tracked back to the Clan, it was still jarring.
And then he glanced at Atrox's lifeless body and wished he had been the one to finish the job.
"...But seriously, why did Thane have to die? And in such a useless way as well? Who gets their head melted...?"
But as a good captain, he ordered the investigation and even got personally involved. He searched Thane's body himself and also Atrox's.
