With every hour that passes, subtle changes are wrought in the island's demeanor. I hardly think it the stuff of happenstance. Scorpio calls every imp, every foul demon to the surface to plague the innocent... er, no offense meant to our own infernal residents, of course

Lady Erk? Are you well? You are not wounded, are you!?

[frumpyface]

Not physically.

[for_the_queen]

I do not understand what you mean.

[frumpyface]

I'm sure you don't.

[for_the_queen]

Milady, please... If I've wronged you somehow, I must make amends.

...I'm afraid I've been a bit tense lately, milady. But we still need to have words.

[for_the_queen]

I, ah... Of course, milady. Whatever you wish.

It has been suggested to me that I watch my food.

[for_the_queen]

Do you suspect poison, milady? I shall maintain a vigil at once...

...hold a moment, are you suggesting that I would-?

Re: [filtered]

[frumpyface]

You're the prime suspect as it stands.

[for_the_queen]

H-How could you say such a thing!? I would never! Milady, I cannot believe for a moment that you would truly suspect me!

Re: [filtered]

Well then, let me elaborate my reasoning.

First of all, it may be my perception of the matter, but you seem to prefer it when I'm female. If nothing else, you are slightly more affectionate and your tongue sees fit to drop compliments, two things I've rarely seen from you while normal. I would call that sufficient motive.

Secondly, you certainly have the means. We eat together every night, therefore it wouldn't be difficult for you to have access to my food.

The only thing I haven't figured out is how you're doing it or what you're using, so it remains naught but a theory to me.

[for_the_queen]

I... I've no idea what you mean. Of course I prefer you as male, mila- milord. Why would I feel otherwise?

If truly you feel that way, then... perhaps we should no longer dine together. I must say, I... thought you had more faith in me than this.

Re: [filtered]

[frumpyface]

You think of me as female often enough, though.

I was planning on that. I tend to test this theory by eating by myself for the next few weeks.

...Agrias, this is difficult for me to say after all that, but I do still have faith you. Please, believe me when I say I want to be wrong right now, but all signs are currently pointing at you.
