The Sunspire I got a heart like a truck

Fennec made a quiet, amused noise in her throat. Perhaps it was insensitive but she hadn't ever met a member of Akashingo to know better. With royalty it's less what they do. Usually it's what they have. And how badly another wanted it.

If Germanicus investigated and found nothing, likely any evidence would be long gone by now, and any suspects similar. The new Queen, maybe, or someone who had failed to take her place. Either way it was likely they'd gotten away with it, whoever it was. Fennec couldn't help but be quietly impressed.

She was glad to hear that it was likely not her doing, though, for a number of reasons. What would Germanicus have done if it had been her? She couldn't help but wonder.

I don't know. I hope so. There was no hesitance or apology in the statement. I wouldn't have helped if I didn't believe her. No one should lose their children like that. She would have done that and worse if something had happened to Killer. And if Germanicus hoped to have her use this poison, she wouldn't take that lightly. If they did not deserve it then she would refuse.

It's an underhanded way to win. But sometimes, winning is too important. Fighting isn't always the answer. She worded it as a statement, but she was more curious if he agreed than she was sure that what she said was true. You never could tell until the moment came.
