Grant was due to fuck right off out of Nevermere soon but someone informed him he had a guest. A Morrigan, at that.

Contemplating whether it would be worth it or not to straight ought gut Conall in front of the family home, Grant opted for the less violent route and left his sword in his room. The Captain Commander might have had an aneurysm if both of the Rangers got in 'trouble' right prior to their debut mission, even though he supposed he was now the last Ranger. Hopefully the first of many, provided he didn't get himself killed. That'd probably be very difficult, given his new temporary partner, but still.

He proceeded out the front door and spied himself a Morrigan.

"Oh," he said, blinking, clearly surprised. "Hello, Keelan. Is something wrong?"

If he had been a little more aware he might've figured it out quicker, but he was mostly surprised he didn't have to see Conall's smug face. After that he would have guessed Lady Captain Delaney here to say something or other about his pairing?

Grant opened his mouth to try and parse this.

Oh. Oh, jeez, right.

Luckily Grant was too angry to remember he'd also been barking up that particular tree before. Mostly he wanted to strangle someone or something. Or both? Both would be fine. But he saw the look on Keelan's face and frowned a little.

"Uh, shit," he said. Yeah, Regan didn't really do well at parties. He assumed a Morrigan party was the liquid shits, personally, so he couldn't particularly blame Regan for ducking out early. Especially if Conall someone got mouthy at her. "Right, well, uh. I haven't seen her at all, actually, for a few days."

Admitting that rekindled the angry little flame in his heart and he pushed on. Keelan seemed like a nice enough guy for a Morrigan and Regan maybe had feelings for him? Grant learned that was a bad idea years ago with Magda. Feelings hurt.

"So, she got transferred to the Royal Guard," Grant said, not really knowing how to be gentle with the news. "So I'm not her partner anymore and I dunno where she's at? If I had to guess real close to the King, but," he shrugged. "By any chance did you hear that story about some soldier that turned into a werewolf-thing and tried to attack the King?"

Grant wasn't sure (author's note: pending other threads) but he had a very good feeling that was his partner. Er, former partner.

Grant knew full well what he was actually going to do but that wasn't really something he supposed he should share. Outside the family, anyway.

"Guess I'll get a new partner while Regan escorts the King around," said the Delaney, with a shrug. "I dunno. Sorry I had to be the one to tell you, and like this of. All ways." And Grant was sorry, because he knew for a fact that when he found out he was ripshit. Keelan didn't seem like a bad guy. Probably. Regan was usually a good judge of character.
