The name sang to Shad. Of course, he already knew about the old Black Fang, but he felt he remembered something, someone. Ambrose Frederick Locke, their partner in crime from Pharae to Tania. He seemed to want to start his own Black Fang in Lycia. If only he knew one already existed, or at least the sparks of a new one did. Coincidentally, Paige arrived as Lita explained herself. "Remember Ambrose, Paige? He seemed to want his own Black Fang in Lycia, if you recall. He'd be very interested to find out it actually exists again." He looked back at her and saw a maid walk in behind her. Considering how touchy the subject of the Black Fang would be, his heart almost jumped out of his chest until he recognized the maid as Maria's bodyguard Grey. She seemed very uncomfortable in the get up and made her way to Maria's side. She whispered to Maria her situation, which caused a laugh. Shad looked at her and she waved him off. Apparently an explanation would come later.

"So...why can't anyone find out who he is? I guess that'd make sense if he was on a job with someone who knew his affiliation, but if no one knows that, wouldn't he draw more attention to him like that instead of being just another face in the crowd? Unless he's some noble who can't risk the exposure, it makes no sense to me. But I'm only eleven so what do I know?" Maria questioned. Shad had to give it to her there. Something doesn't sit right with that. Unless his has the mark of the Black Fang tattooed upon his face, his anonymity seems rather arbitrary. Unless it's some kind of hazing ritual.

"You didn't have to do that when you joined, did you?" Shad asked, rather curious about the whole affair. "No...stupid question. I don't think you'd be able to move in that much armor."
