...Hulkenberg and I discussed this briefly, and came to the same conclusion. Those items are tests of willpower, and those with weakened conduct and familiarity with killing would be particularly susceptible.
[ closes his eyes, thinking. ]
Her world sounded like it needed the help, from what she spoke of it during the gift exchange.
Yes, well. So does ours - and I don't need to murder anyone for it.
[ oh there's some of that anger, whip quick - but it fades. ]
It's no excuse. ... Part of the reason why I'm even more glad we brought her to heel. We'll find out tomorrow if we were truly correct or not, but I'd stake it all on the fact that we were.
Manner of an assassin. It was inconvenient of those profiles to air my business like that, but it saves some explaining, at least.
[ the echo of a frown, finger still hovering. ]
Precision gunshot wounds were found on both parties, though Vi's was not the fatal blow. Maybe the "killer" is only ascribed to the one they landed the final hit upon.
Not so bad. One of the hero kings was an assassin - one of our teammates is both.
[ an assassin and a knight!!! there's a bit of a smile, but. ]

No. I know the kind of temper I have - it'd just make me angrier, and I don't want to give her the satisfaction. [ glancing sideways... ] Did you?

No. I considered it, to try and provoke a motive - but there are better things to do with this time.

If I had to guess, it was for one of those things in the cases. I don't think she was taken over.

The marking from the first aid room, in blood - the overlaid one. It was definitely a representation of her hair.

Yes. I spoke with Rosamund, too. She seems genuinely hurt and upset, but the evidence indicates her involvement.
