[color=seagreen]“Right away, Marianne!”[/color] Daimyon responded to the herbalist in equal enthusiasm and quickly wrote down her deduction:
[i]‘Blood was still wet—the two events occurred at the same time’[/i]
Meanwhile the others were also coming up with their own counterpoints against Davis' accusation. The poet listened intently to everyone and only spoke up to encourage the flow of the trial.
[color=seagreen]“Excellent questions, Mary!”[/color] he said, noting down the streamer's queries. He thought about adopting his FACTS/OBSERVATIONS/QUESTIONS style he had used a few times already, but decided to go with a freer flow of text this time. It better simulated the chaos that was actually going down!

Shaun and Caora both came up with their own very valid, and surprisingly coherent for the latter, observations, and so did Lucas who seemed to believe Krista's guilt. Daimyon, for himself, put off any and all judgement—that was the only way of retaining his hopeful outlook on the terrible situation, and it also allowed him to fulfil the role of the impartial scribe he had taken on himself. There was also the fact that he pieced together very little of what could have happened—that did not stop him from imagining scenarios that were usually way too fantastical to be realistic—, he only had one piece of evidence he could claim to have discovered.

Unless someone was trying to re-enact a duel to the death—in which case their choice of opponent was rather dull—with the cold rock, we can assume that the cut was made at the time of the crime, and might indeed be evidencing a struggle!”[/color] He glanced down to his notebook for a moment to read the words [i]‘Murder weapon: kitchen knife?’[/i]. [color=seagreen]“...furthermore, unless the culprit and their supposed weapon were blessed with divine strength by the gods themselves, it is also very unlikely that this cut was made with a knife! No, it must have been...an axe, mighty enough to fell mammoth trees! Or...something of that magnitude...”[/color]
