[There's a delay before he replies. He needs time to cool off. To get Mavis to the clinic, like Aristaeus has told him to.]
The rat wouldn't know how to be a problem if he tried. But this goat face murderer he's going on about might have us thinking about more security. How do they work?
I sincerely doubt you have much to worry about from the killer. Everything about it reeks of a personal vendetta.
[Ianthe also knew who the killer was.]
Wards are varied in their uses, typically to keep people from accessing locations. They can be attuned to bar everyone alive from a location save for the one who created it and those attuned to it. It can be narrowed down even further.
For example, if you wanted it so Felipe would be unable to get within a hundred meters of your residence but anyone else can, that can be done. If you want it that only you and your housemates can enter, that can also be done. Bone wards last longer but blood wards are more potent.
I'm only offering a bone ward as I honestly don't want to bother with the required upkeep on a blood ward. I have enough of those already to deal with.
If he decided to take the time to unravel it. Wards can be broken by very powerful people if they know what they're looking at.
He would also know it was my ward, which may make him pause to ask me why it's there. It would act as a deterrent but if he wanted past it, he would get past it.
Let me be very frank with you about John. If he wants something, he will take it and no one save for the Duchess or perhaps Wanda will be able to stop him. If he's not doing something, it's because he's choosing not to do it. It's better to attempt to reason with him than to use force. At least that has a chance.
But let me know. Gilia is fond of your household. I'd rather her not be sad should something happen to any of you.

Would Gaius be able to get past it?

I'll have to run it by Ari and let you know. But thanks for the offer, either way.

What, no fondness yourself? I'm hurt.
