COMMENTARY
I did suspect that a Walker's idea of time would not necessarily have the same referents as that of an 18 year old from Chicago
But I couldnt think of a relevant question to ask in combat time.
Lydia is going to notice that Molly didnt bother going shintai to kill this dude when she did for the greater akuma.
So will Dresden. Lara might as well; if she and her resources noticed Molly going shintai at the Museum back when Kattrin was here, they'll notice that Molly didnt pull out the same degree of effort here.
Its sure going to be hilarious when Molly notes that its a school night and she has school in the morning.
The White Council is going to be asking interesting questions of Dresden over the next day and half.
Because I doubt that a Walker incarnated this fully in Chicago without drawing attention and alarms. He Who Walks Before /Sharkface did it in Cold Days, but Sharkface is one of the Three, and is rather better at stealth than this one appears to have been.
I wonder what the breakage is gonna be.
We have personally confirmed the deaths of the three highest-ranking conspirators on the list: Madrigal, Skavis Heir and Duke Skavis are all dead, but Molly's list was around 2x that, with Lara's list being around 14 or so.
The fact that those Skavis bodyguards were able to fight that close to the Walker gives hope that we arent going to be looking at a hall full of guests with mental trauma or insanity from being in the general vicinity of a Walker without appropriate mental protections. Hopefully.
I honestly dont think the fate of the surrendered Skavis bodyguard is much of a big deal. If he was next to Duke Skavis, that means hes not had the opportunity to do anything since Contstantine Raith made his declaration, and he's not one of the two who attacked Molly. Noone has any interest in killing him or making an example of him; he's just going to be interrogated and let go.
The two that ran on the other hand, are in more of a pickle. They are probably not on the List, but they did attack Molly.
Depends, I guess.
None of Molly's business.

Keep in mind that Skavis' first move was to create a barrier of black fire (illusionary) around himself and his guards.
There's no reason to assume that illusion failed until at least his death.
So only people with high Auspex could have actually seen or heard us, besides his guards.
I'm sure there are plenty of people with non-physical perceptions who noticed the appearance and death of a Walker anyway, but likely not the mooks.
We fought at least part of this duel in the air, which means that we were likely beyond the coverage of the Chimestry barrier for at least part of the fight.
Hence my suspicion that even low level Auspex is useful here.
Plus, I am betting that every vampire here has Awareness.
