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.]

If some of those can reduce pain, I really should be.

[ She rubs her eyes as she says that... but then nods and, ]

Anyway, we'll be talking more in future, I'm sure. You've got other people to talk to.

Yeah, alright. Just be careful with the pain meds, if you do take them. Sounds like you might need a lower dose than a human. [If she can take what you said during the trial for medical fact? Better safe than sorry.]

[matchbreaker]

I've just never had them before... and our hearts and blood work somewhat differently, often more sluggishly. I don't really know how it'd effect things like that.

[ Basically she's just cautious. ]

[ninehundredlives]

I don't feel like I can really say for sure. Just be careful, yeah?

[matchbreaker]

[ she nods.

... and mutters some thanks as she goes. ]
