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.]

...No, I suppose it wouldn't have.

[A sigh.]

I just wish there was something I could have done. I don't like accepting that so easily.

[ninehundredlives]

...yeah. I know. But there's really only so much anyone can do, here.

[bloodbiter]

It seems much different than back home. I am not used to... having no way to protect people.

[ninehundredlives]

I am, I guess. That's probably the difference. Though I keep remembering things like...I did something after all.

[bloodbiter]

...That's a good thing, isn't it? That you are remembering such things.

[ninehundredlives]

I don't know. It would have been better if none of it happened to begin with. But...yeah, if it had to happen, I guess I'm glad I was there.
