He'll settle for just thoroughly dead.

Mind made up, he scribbles down what he's figured out on a piece of paper, walks out of the antimagic field, and stops in confusion again. He's... holding a paper for some reason? With illegible writing?

Is he stupid. If he wants to leave he can just leave, it's not like it's hard. Instead he's... looking at a piece of paper like he's forgotten how to read? He was writing on it just a moment ago, it can't be that he's illiterate.

Right, he was here about examining the antimagic cell. And it's been a while but he hasn't gotten much done, he needs to get back on that to make up for lost time.

Once he crosses the border of the field he's suddenly back from confused to furious, like someone flipped a switch. Victoria may have seen him mad before, but this is something new.

Her hand goes reflexively to her holy symbol before she remembers that she's in an Antimagic Field, she can't even do anything, she's got a dagger but it's not going to help if he tries something. ...And also him murdering her wouldn't even actually be bad, only for some reason her heart is still pounding.

Oh, there's someone he would absolutely love to murder right now, but it's not her and even acknowledging Victoria exists would be a distraction from his unfathomable fury at this latest indignity he has been dealt. One hand absentmindedly crumples and tosses the paper as Acevedo paces angrily, muttering ever more dire imprecations.

Is he saying anything specific? Or just making it really clear that he's randomly decided that now's a good time to be mad about leftover Asmodeans?

He seems to think she's done something to him, but he's more interested in being mad about it than helpfully monologuing.

Honestly, being mad about the Asmodean spymistress apparently being back from the dead is just about the most reasonable thing she's ever seen from him, it's just that the timing is really confusing.

Is there a way to point out that the Queen has teleporting enchanters to help her go after people for things that are much less bad than "being the Asmodean spymistress" without giving anything away about the school? ...She's not sure, and it'd be unfair to Raimon to risk it. It's not like he doesn't know about the archmages, anyways, and they could definitely handle it.

She's going to... keep taking notes on the anti-magic cell, how about that. She's pretty sure she's noticed everything there is to notice by now, but she doesn't want to leave first while he's being like this, that's just letting him win.

She might be stuck for a while, because in the next five minutes he tries walking out of the antimagic cell in a huff three more times before stopping in confusion each time. It's like clockwork, especially as each attempt makes him more and more coldly furious. The paper's probably an important part of whatever it is, because after each false start he tries another one.

It's kind of incredible that nobles can afford to treat paper like it's garbage just because they're mad. She's been spending part of the stipend on paper for notes but she wouldn't just randomly destroy it, not even with the stipend being as big as it is.

...After enough rounds of this she's going to try surreptitiously glancing at one of the papers.

The one she picks up is... a list of instructions? Or maybe a plan would be a better word; it involves him finding the Archmage Naima and paying for a remove curse and a break enchantment, and then seeing if he can get a limited wish if that doesn't work, and then going back into an antimagic field after, and it lists what is in context presumably several other epithets belonging to the old spymistress.

...Why is he mad at the paper. It's not like the paper ever did anything to him. Admittedly it's not like she did anything to him either, but getting mad at a piece of paper that he wrote seems a lot stupider.

If he's still not leaving she'll attempt to measure the cell again. (She is doing this by walking the length and width, putting her feet directly touching each other.) She already did this once but it feels less pointless than just standing around waiting for him to leave. Maybe she can figure out a decent way to measure the height, it's too tall for her to just compare it with her own height.

Eventually, it gets late enough that Acevedo has other things to get to. He's not sure where all the time has gone or what happened to all his paper, but if it was actually important he'd remember it.

Instead of walking back into the antimagic field, he walks off out of the royal dungeons, leaving a dozen unintelligible papers behind.

Oh good, he's finally gone.

...She's going to grab his notes before she leaves, just in case they give away any of the Evil nobles' plans. And then she'll leave.

Wow, that took way longer than she was expecting. She's barely going to have any time to grab dinner before she ought to head back to the temple, and she probably won't have time to look over the committee transcripts at all.
