don't wait for a knight in shinin' armor, your savior's reflected in the mirror

[That sure was a fucking thing. That execution was a fucking thing. Those secrets are a fucking thing.

Cabanela retreats to his room, but not for all that long. Everyone will get a note eventually, written in very neat handwriting

I do not plan on bowing down to threats and intimidation. If you did not act, it means you were, like me, aware of the risk, but decided against it. Your reasons are entirely your own.

Join me in the dining room if you agree enough is enough, and that you won't acquiesce to threats. I don't plan to let this stop me, and neither should you.

In the dining room itself, Cabanela has set up coffee and tea for those who want it-- there's no food, because to be honest, he doesn't know how to cook. Two more candles have been lit-- he wasn't really sure what to do about the whole... parasite thing... so Fern's candle will have to make due.]

I appreciate it.

[And man, he's so tempted to ask now, but...]

I'll lock the door after the clock chimes, but I'll still be awake.

[...]

Would you like me to come by so you can get your questions out, or would you prefer it wait until morning?

[sadisticwarfare]

[Is he really that obvious...??]

I'll admit I'm curious now, but I don't mean to rush you. It can wait until morning, if you'd prefer.

[explosivecombat]

...I did say whenever you like. I don't mind being asked so soon.

[Like, if you want to get this over with now, he doesn't really care? It's...whatever, it's very whatever, really.]

[sadisticwarfare]

[...works for him!!]

Very well then, I'll ask you tonight.

[And he turns to leave at that, but...]

Thank you, Kimblee.

[explosivecombat]

Of course.

[At least it'll give him some time to prepare, doing this later tonight.]
