• That would be wonderful. Be safe, and I'll see you in the Grove.
• Wait! Before you go, I have something for you.
• It's an orb of chaotic mesmer energy. I'm not sure why you'd want it, but someone said you might be interested.
• Thanks!
• No, thank you. I don't need it.
• You're quite good at it. A natural, one might say. We still have to be careful because if they suspect we're working against the Ministry, they might stop talking to us.
• It certainly comes in handy. Though it's still a bit unreliable. It works best on total strangers. I keep practicing though.
• Will you be going with Marjory to the summit?
• She won't know that. If we present it to her with all the other evidence, as if we know her little secret, then maybe she'll confess.
• All right. Let's go get a confession.
• Careful there. You don't want to be seen getting too friendly with the staff.
• I'm on the job. Bodyguard for a countess. A somewhat more glamorous position than my last, I must say.
• You mean your position as...prisoner?
• Yes, and thanks for stating the obvious, painful truth. Technically, I'm still a prisoner. It's just now my bars are lined with velvet. Don't let that fool you though. I'm definitely not free.
• The countess owns you now?
• That's harsh. I wouldn't say that. More like I'm on loan to her from the prison. So long as I'm a good grunt, she'll keep me with her and I don't have to go back in the cell.
• You planning on behaving yourself?
• Absolutely. I'm no fool. I could be in a much worse situation than this. I guess you could say I learned my lesson. I know I have a reputation for acting rashly, but those days are behind me.
• Pardon me if I don't entirely believe you.
• No pardon necessary. You're in a crowd of many watching me like hawks. So far, Countess Anise has treated me with respect. I have no reason to betray her trust. Besides, she amuses me mightily.
• I'll be at the front of the hunting party if you mess this up.
• I would expect no less, though I do believe you might have a hard time catching me again. No offense intended.
• Just watch yourself.
• Enjoy the party. Please feel free to mingle and introduce yourself. Excuse me, I...
• I see you're busy. We'll talk later.
• Am I to intimidate these ministers and aristocrats, to put them off guard?
• Surely you can't imagine that these dandies pose some kind of threat to you.
• Hm?
• Are you even paying attention or do you simply not care? Either way, you are a maddening woman.
• What do you think? Do we have enough evidence to discredit her accusations?
• Plenty. The servant's wife can testify that Estelle met with Lady Claire.
• Maybe the threat of her testifying will be enough to shut this down. What else?
• We have multiple witnesses who say the queen turned down Scarlet's request.
• I still can't believe Scarlet wanted to study with the watchknight engineer. Thank the gods the queen turned her down. Though, that might explain Scarlet's anger when she attacked our city. What else?
• We know Estelle's friend was lying for her.
• For a pouch of gold, you mean. Estelle must have coached Lady Claire. I don't imagine it will be too hard to get her to testify to the lie. I guess they weren't such good friends after all.
• We're ready to confront Estelle with the evidence.
• So what if I work with Lord Caudecus. It means nothing. It doesn't change the fact that I was there when Scarlet had her audience with the queen.
• Did you hear what the queen discussed with Scarlet?
• We'll do this later.
• No, they spoke too quietly, like schoolgirl friends whispering so no one else would hear.
• That's a lie. You heard everything.
• I must have been lost in my own thoughts while the queen and Scarlet conspired deviously.
• I heard the queen was escorted out for her safety.
• Minister Estelle, can you repeat that?
• I heard the word "watchknights."
• You're making this story up. Did you even hear anything?
• Isn't that bad enough? Do you know how many people died because the queen gave Scarlet access to the watchknights? Why are you still interrogating me? She's the criminal!
• I think you're the real criminal here.
• Kasmeer, what do you think?
