I don't think it was the rage. I think she just hated me, in particular. I refused to not let her get away with stripping during Viktor's trial because she was on the suspect list, and she all but threatened me that night.
I've tried to stay away from her since, but it... it didn't matter.

[she rubs at her face, and then. pauses. hm.]
... Yes. [a beat, and then she just shakes her head and sighs, harshly.] -- No. Rosamund, I'm going to tell you something.
no subject
Then leans in, whispering.]
What is it?
no subject
... I killed Sora.
[
sorry you did in fact spend curfew with a killer]
no subject
Her face has been wiped clear.]
...Why?
no subject
[she says, softer.]
... I woke up, and I hid. But I couldn't stand by when she tried to shoot Temenos in the head while he was asleep.
no subject
[Her face pales at once.]
So she — and all those men, she would have killed all of them? You...
[Her hands come to pat at her shoulders, eyes wide.
Then she holds her fast, head shaking in tight twists.]
Do you know the reason why? Why would she attack you? Was it a rage, or....
no subject
[she swallows hard.]

[Okay sorry re-evaluating everything she thought she knew about this Sora woman. Which is, frankly, not a lot.]
Throné, I'm so, so glad you survived. And that none of them are dead.
[She thinks for a moment.]
Does anyone else know?
no subject
Temenos. [because of course he does.] ... Arthur knows too, and Charles, but I told them after the trial itself.
[a pause.]
I think that... it is not impossible for people to have suspected. And I worry that someone might seek revenge. I can only hope that isn't the case.
no subject
Who do you think might come after you?
no subject
[she's not sure anybody else wants to, but after being hunted down, it's hard to not be paranoid.]
no subject
[She didn't think Dion would either. Nor Eunhyuk, nor Sheba. Any of them really.]
Does Sora have any good friends you know of?
no subject
[...]
I'd have to look into it.
no subject
[Here, she'll take her hands and once again look deep into her eyes.]
You're a dear friend to me, Throné. I'll help keep you safe in every way I can.
no subject
[she meets her gaze with a little sigh, but. she manages a smile.]
I'll keep you safe too, as much as I'm able.
