>Something's wrong. Recall your lectures on astronomy, why are the two moons in opposing lunar cycles?
Because the five created them to have something to tether the celestial heavens too?
>We'll do some more investigating, maybe Cain can be persuaded to direct the mumblings & gossip of the house staff to our ears.
That’s a great idea. He’s bound to find out something.
>Let her know you are already up to your neck in this crap and keeping you out of the loop is just going to cause more problems.
Hmm… that might be true but… can yah promise to keep ye mouth shut?
I promise.
So… where to begin?
First off, I want you to tell me the truth about something. Is my sister behind the assassination of Qelba?
Oh, no, of course not. Qelba, as much of an arse ‘e was, was still on our side.
…and the poisoning of you?
Ah… but, ‘ubby, I’ve never been poisoned.
…you’ve never- don’t tell me you faked that!?
It was some of Doxans chocking powder. Makes yah cough a lot and waters ye eyes, but it’s not even close to lethal.
…but, why did you-
Oh, we ‘ave our reasons. To make our enemies bolder… to ‘ave a reason for arrest… Now, yah do understand… if yah tell anyone about this, anyone at all, we will need to silence yah, yah understand?
Right, don’t tell anyone…
>As for the assassinations, perhaps you could kidnap your brother?
Kidnap? Nah, we rather do this “legally”, so people won’t ask too many questions.
>In any case, we'll have to walk into the trap.
:BriannagSB: While a bold move, do yah really think it’s a clever one.
>Maybe some low-profile body armor will help.
Armor? Heh, ‘ubby, I don’t think ‘e’s planning to assassinate yah. If anything, ‘e might do what yah planned and simply kidnap yah… or maybe ‘e might frame yah for the murder of Qelba? Either way, our marriage would be over…
So… what do you suggest I do?
Find out what ‘e’s planning and act on that.
Now, the night is still young so… do yah ‘ave anything planned tonight or do yah want to stay ‘ere and ‘elp me warm up the bed?~
If you’re cold I can light a fire in the hearth, but… hmm…
Should you call it for tonight? You might still find out something more about your brothers dastardly plot… but on the other hand, you’re in need of some R&R… Hmmm… decisions, decisions.
Snuggle in the sofa in front of the fireplace, then?
