[She wakes in her room the next morning, her heart pounding. Dead. She'd been dead. And she couldn't really judge for how long.

Walking over to the phone, she picks it up and is quiet for a long moment. She doesn't know what to say, she's probably worried so many people!]

I'm back. I'm sorry for worrying you all.

...I don't--

...

I'm sorry. [

[Hey, guess what, it's everybody's favorite assassin!

And he's waving! hihi~]

[kindlichekaiser]

[Whhyyy. She hesitates slightly and steps further outside, raising her hand in greeting]

Hello, Mr. Teatime...

[updollsdresses]

Good morning, Empress. Are you well?

[kindlichekaiser]

[Gulp.]

I've been better.

How are you?

[updollsdresses]

I'm as well as can be... expected.

[He cocks his head to the side slightly.]

Been better, Empress?

[kindlichekaiser]

[Pause. She frowns at him quietly, wanting to dart back inside again]

I was killed yesterday. [She says it as coolly as she can mange]

[updollsdresses]

... All my little friends keep dying. You should all really be more... careful.

[And, suddenly, he's right next to her.] Would you like me to inhume them for you, Empress?

[kindlichekaiser]

[She steps away, startled and shaking, gazing up at him]

I-inhume...?

[updollsdresses]

It's a very, very polite way of saying assassinate! It's what I do.

[kindlichekaiser]

[Her eyes widen slightly, and she slowly shakes her head]

No, thank you. [That's...kind of, um. Sweet. And Creepy.

Okay mostly creepy.

But kind of touching.

Um, thanks??]

I'm sure he'll get what he deserves in the end.

[updollsdresses]

[It's a lot less sweet when you know he's only doing it to weasel out of his deal with Susan.]

But that end could be so much... sooner.

[kindlichekaiser]

[She lowers her gaze and purses her lips. She wants to--deep down inside there's a faint stirring of... something that's scaring her.

She shakes her head] Please don't... I don't even know who it was.
