Nonchalantly, Maelakin gazes down at the dagger sheath dropped on the floor, “I say you dropped it when you bumped into me Sir, but I have faith that Captain Merlo can sort out this confusion to satisfactory conclusion.”

OOC: I’m unsure what I know about the place I’m currently visiting. If it is known to me that the local officials are corrupt, I would like to take a different course of action. On the same note, if I know the people in this area react poorly to those capable of magical feats, I would also like to take a different course of action. If I don’t know or neither of the above apply, my course of action below will stand.

Standing above the dagger, guarding it in case anyone but the Captain attempts to disrupt its position, Maelakin turns to the Captain, “If you would be so kind as to collect this evidence I would be much obliged. I would bring the sheath to you, but knowing something of the magical arts, I know that contaminating evidence can often ruin the divinations performed by mages.”

Oh boy, time to start talking fast and acting faster. This is what you get for spending too long in one place. Just keep your cool; you didn't have anything to do with this.

Maelakin waits for the Captain to cross over and collect the sheath. He will not let any other, including one of the guards, collect the sheath. If the Captain insists on a guard collecting the item for him, Maelakin resorts to the tactic below to deliver the item.

”On the topic of Magic, you may find it interesting to know that the darkness caused in the room was created by multiple people. Additionally, they more than likely were carrying objects that produce darkness when uncovered,” Maelakin says to Captain Merlo.

OOC: This next passage occurs only if the Captain will not come collect the sheath himself.

Maelakin makes a small gesture with his hand and mutters quietly under his breath. Extending his hand out, he points to the sheath on the floor and as he does, the sheath begins to rise into the air. Slowly he moves his hand to point towards the table in front of Captain Merlo, and as he does, the sheath follows his motion. Floating through the air as if carried by some unseen force, the sheath comes to finally rest on the table next to the bag containing the evidence from the victim.

OOC: Cast Mage Hand.

“I trust you don’t mind my apprehension at having another touching evidence that may be damning to an innocent,” he says to Captain Merlo.
