“MARK!” The wouy ht She must be so confused, not to mention terrified

“What is she doing?” Tusk looks down at her with a thoroughly confused glare

“She's sad because he was her husband," Lyric explains “She loved him”

“He obviously hit her repeatedly And not in the way one ht have assassinated an innocent ingenue He was beating her like a dog And now she calls his name? Humans really are stupid, base animals”

“Shut up," Lyric hisses, rising to her feet I have to grab her before she launches herself at him

“Rath, get your hu done to Margaret”

I notice he uses the sobbing human’s name He honors her, even as he attempts to frame her for the most heinous and scandalous crime in recent history

“Do not threaten aret, Tyvian, you take custody of her"

Tusk laughs “Tyvian? I suppose you want her running loose on the streets of Megaris within the day”

“And what is that supposed to mean?” Tyvian asks the question with a silky smooth fury

“I do not trust the dungeons They have not ed to house a prisoner who did not almost immediately escape in eons as entry and exit points than the front gates!”

He has a point There are colanders with fewer holes than the dungeon

“Tyvian will take custody of Margaret Unless, of course, you have some personal connection to the woman you would like to pursue?”

Tusk grunts and shakes his head I aaret who is still space-drunkenly sobbing her erstwhile husband’s name at his feet I am also equally sure that Tyvian is far better placed teically displacedhuman from planet Earth

At oes to the wo soft soothing sounds usually more appropriate for a child

Tuskher be taken away I have a distraction for hi from another faction if we cannot restore a se Krash’s assassination, but I fear the real bloodshed has only just begun

“Tusk, we need to discuss strategy Security needs to be tripled, at the very least”
