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.]

Have you found the answer to your question?

[I'm so sorry Kirei, Estelle really is a special person.]

[blackmass]

If I did, I would not be called 'Inquisitive' at all, now would I?

[firstaid]

Then are you saying you've found the answer?

[She wants a yes or no answer. She will continue on with this until she has her answer (or a door is slammed in her face).]

[blackmass]

I thought that was obvious. Of course I haven't.

[firstaid]

[She figured that was the case, but she didn't want to jump to conclusions here. ...for once.]

You want to understand why you're like this, too, don't you? You're... not like this because you want to be, so once again, I see no reason to fear you.

[...how is she not dead...]

[blackmass]

. . .

[You get one (1) door shut in your face.]

[Congratulations, Estelle. That's probably an actual achievement.]

[firstaid]

[Oh... oh...

...um...

Yeah she'll actually take that as a hint to go away...

...right.

SO THAT WAS A THING.]
