As Emelote's eyes glowed golden and a mist started to form from her, Joshua instantly knew that she was about to use more of her magic, but before he could get her and interrupt what she was doing, the mist had completely enveloped herself and the two other Guild members, making it impossible for him to see as far as he could stretch out his hands. The other three members of the Masks launched forward and only found each other in the mist, but they weren't able to see at all, meaning that they were trying to take each other down instead of taking down the thieves. Joshua stumbled around and grabbed all of them, catching a wayward fist or two but he had to get in between the chaos to make sure that they didn't hurt each other seriously.

Joshua had to grab and toss the three other Masks out of the mist so they would stop fighting each other and pay attention to the fact that the three Guild members were now gone. He had to adjust his mask and outfit for a minute before looking at the three, who were a bit worse for wear. "It looks like the Guild is trying to find each other and come together and make sure that they continue to be a thorn in our side. Spread the word to the rest of the Masks: the Guild isn't dead just yet." The three nodded their heads and left, leaving Joshua alone to inspect the mist that still lingered. What other kind of magic is that girl capable of?

Joshua wasn't able to see anything with the mist as it dissipated, and he had to leave incredibly disappointed. And she ditches once again... damn it all! How can she keep getting away from me? If I can't catch her then she's going to make me look really bad... if she isn't already. He mumbled a few things to himself before walking out of the street and back on patrol, but he wasn't in the mood for it, so he instead walked all the way to the guardhouse and reported the incident to the captain personally, intentionally omitting a few details that made him look pretty bad. And even though the captain never spoke to Joshua about the fact that this girl has now bested him several times now, he knew that it was somewhere in the back of his mind.

Joshua walked out of the guard house, a bit deflated and plenty frustrated about the whole thing with the girl that kept getting away. He walked home and got out of his outfit before returning to the streets, now devoid of his outfit he was simply a citizen under the rule of the king, and he was fine with that; he thought the king was fair with how he ruled over the citizen, so he didn't have a problem with his laws, but it was impossible to ignore that there were a few, most notably those who were affiliated with the Guild, were against his laws, but that was for another time. For right now he needed to get some food for himself to eat, not wanting to deal with any criminals for the rest of the day.

Joshua grabbed a basket and began to load it up with the food he would need for the next few days, and after paying the food, he took a breath ebfore pickign the basket up and began the walk back to his home. It can be so strange at times to walk around the streets and not being in my attire, not having to look at everyone and see what they're doing to make sure that they aren't breaking the king's law. I don't have to worry about keeping people safe... it's a nice break from my constant duties. He continued to walk with purpose, not wanting anyone to take the opportunity and mug him for his goods since he didn't have the authority right now to arrest.
