A figure in a red duster and bowler cap sauntered in, his smile flipping around as he beheld the scene. He absently handed his rather anachronistic revolver to one of the security guards by the door, took a few steps in, and stopped. "Well, Kali girl," he addressed the black cat on his shoulder. "Looks like we're more'n fashionably late this time." In response, the cat batted at his handlebar mustache, got bored, and started licking her paw instead.
With a sigh, Linus decided he might as well see if there was anybody he knew. His crew, who'd been mooring the Loose Ends while Linus dashed to the chapel, would soon catch up; and he didn't particularly feel like looking as if he had no idea what he was doing when they arrived (though he, in fact, did not). He did a double-take at the guards, with their armor and heavy rifles. Are those things even legal? They might not be...but then again, several of the guests were probably known criminals or even terrorists...it was well-known that Brakk had unusual friends.
The Erisian shrugged and kept looking. Before long, he located Mal near a trio of people wearing a wholly excessive assortment of armor, and a robed woman. Mathias, his engineer and sometimes gunner, was the first of his small crew to enter. With obvious disappointment, he left his ceremonial sword and pistol at the door. Dahlia, his first mate, didn't have to leave anything at the door because, as usual, she was unarmed anyway. They joined their captain as he made his way through the throng to the Episkopos.
Upon passing the robed woman, however, the cat on Linus' shoulder had a very curious reaction. She jumped nearly a foot straight up, her fur poofed out, and with claws out she held onto Linus' left shoulder - which was heavily reinforced for just this reason - for dear life. This distracted him just long enough to completely miss Mal as he left the building. By the time he realized Mal was gone (as in, by the time Mathias realized his captain had not, in fact, noticed the familiar robed man brush past them), the strangely robed woman had gotten up and left as well. Kali gave her retreating form one last hiss for good measure - though in all likelihood, the black cat's fear and surprise hadn't even been noticed by any other than Linus and his crew.
Dahlia patted his unoccupied shoulder. "I'm sure it would've been a..." her voice briefly trailed off as she finally saw the small pool filled with rubber duckies in front of the broken glass window. "...lovely...wedding, but it looks like somebody flew the coop. We might as well get going, too."
With a sigh, Linus retrieved his revolver, and Mathias got his pointy thing and noisy thing back. The Erisian started to say something to the few people that were still in the building, but he didn't know anybody, and they were probably leaving as well. Having thought better of it, what was going to be a grand gesture became a little wave and a shrug, and Linus and his tiny crew left the chapel as quickly as they'd entered.
