Hearing what Ochre planned, both girls exchanged nervous looks, the colour draining visibly from Daphne's face, while Vale started struggling with her bonds, growling a protest at Ochre from off camera. Her friend was safe, but she had put herself in a very difficult position... not that Vale could do anything about it, the ropes held fast.

Daphne's expression was one of bewilderment, bordering on horror. As long as she'd known Azzie's family, they had been so nice that she almost forgot the Cardamom's had a darker side reserved only for enemies. She recalled the story of the Glass Hearts again, and a nervous lump formed in her throat.

...Surely the Don wouldn't be that unreasonable, right...?



Rocksy listened to the Don's explanation with a practised neutral expression, ocassionally nodding her approval, or biting her lip grimly at the descriptions of Vale's actions. When he was finished, the lieutenant's response was a simple "I see..." She took a moment to collect her thoughts before replying.

"Don Cardamom, please let me explain. Sending Agent Birch to investigate was simply a precaution, given... recent events. As the head of a large faction yourself, i'm sure you're no stranger to the high stakes involved and espionage. I hope you can understand this was strictly business, not a personal attack against your Family. In any case, am grateful for your care of Agent Birch."

"Onto more ...unfortunate matters, i assure you that Agent Vettel's attack was an independent one, not under orders by the Pilgrims. We have no intention of starting any conflict between our respective factions. But as her commanding officer i will take full responsibility for her actions."

She turned to Vale "Did you kill anyone?"

"No ma'am"

"Good. So no irreplacable damage. Any property damage will be compensated, and Vale... expect severe disciplinary action..."

even through the scroll her tone was deadly serious, and managed to send a chill down the captured assassin's spine.
