Ellie looks between the others and the body a little incredulously, before she blows all the breath out of her lungs.

"Shit. I keep forgetting there's... consequences for getting found with dead people heeeereokay um- we should hide this. And get rid of the blood."

Because that's not normal either. Right. Fuck. Okay.

Ellie bends down to the corpse, picking up one of the arms to drag, realizes that'll spread the blood.

"Someone help me."

Consequences for getting found with dead people is met with a no shit sort of look from Nikos. But at the same time, "If you're good at your job, there's no consequences or dead people."

The dry smack of the papers on the table is a siren's call. Nikos wipes his hands on his legs, in case any blood has been left behind, and pushes himself to his feet with a quiet grunt of effort.

"One of you." He jerks his head toward Ellie and the flesh vessel formerly known as Ferdinand. Help. "If there's no body-vanishing spell, make it vanish the old-fashioned way."

He begins to look through the papers--skimming at first, then with sharper eyes. His mouth moves as he soundlessly reads some parts aloud. After another moment, he's casting around for something to write with, something to write on. This is almost fun, except that it's very serious Riftwatch business, and Nikos isn't a child looking to be amused.
