Seth's mind, as he moved around the body and checked the angles, he reconstructed the crime scene in his head. Judging from the position of the body and the arrow wound, the Princess spun slightly due to the arrow not hitting exact dead center, as per the center of mass. She must have been standing straight. The perpertrator fired from a relatively concealed spot. The fact that the arrow went through the neck meant that the perpetrator was either extremely strong, and could use a very stiff bow, or he/she fired from a short distance.

Seth didn't touch the body at all. Sariel would be doing that later, not because she was female, but because she was better at discerning toxins and such. Judging from the sound, and the crowd, the murderer was still nearby.

Seth just took out parchment and began to write his report. He didn't even bother communicating his findings, as he looked around.

(some time later)

Seth finished his report, standing up and saying "hmm, either there's a very skilled bow user out there, using a powerful, unique bow of special construction, or someone fired point blank, since it went through the bone in the spinal column. I'd say it's the former, since you don't see everyone here screaming hysterically, or the guards running like mad dogs.

Sariel nodded and said "well, I can't send the report back now, since we don't have a bird courier or such, but let's see if we can get permission to at least bring the body to a table, so I can start examinations."
