Despite the situation, Amadeus couldn't help the slight upturn of the corners of his mouth as he looked at Ariel. It was mostly because he was still there after watching that and not looking at him in horror. Most claimed they could handle the things the Tremere could do until they were actually faced with it. He gave an incline of his head at Ariel's comment. "Fair enough."
Amadeus took a moment to replay it over in his head so that he could pick which details to focus on before he answered. "It was Maya. Desperation is still a word I'd used but she also seemed... distressed. Almost like she didn't want to do it but there was determination there as well."
First the message she had sent and now this. Unfortunately, neither was enough, even if he had seen it straight from Alex's corpse. There was still the question of how she did it and if she was acting alone. "The way this has happened, it would not surprise me if she even remembers doing it. Maybe it was Malkavian insanity riding her or something else, but she was driven by something. It woke all the other Malks up, so was it enough to allow her to be awake or something else? Or is whatever caused her to be awake what disturbed the other Malks. It's not like murder and death doesn't happen within their web all the time." Tremere warding that anyone could get done if they could afford it.
