It wasn't as she wished, but it seemed par for the course that most of the ton had the maturity of a four year old. Though she did suppose that it was some feat for Thalken to provide an apology at all. Virginia heard Mary's firearm as it was slid back into the holster, along with Mary's quiet comment that accompanied the action. 

	Virginia couldn't help but wonder what sort of church would have a man like Thalken within its ranks, though she imagined that it was likely that if pressed, his family would swear that they attended church regularly. It was rather peculiar and odd for an individual to have no religious affiliation. For the Crypts, they never had much of an attachment to any branch of the church. Virginia's mother, Lady Dywell, had come from a family of protestants. And Virginia could not think of any denomination or belief system to which her father belonged. She supposed that for herself, if there were any matters that required a religious authority, she'd likely defer to Mary. 

	[color=9999ff]"Yes, I fear that too much time has been spent already,"[/color] Virginia admitted, as she tightened her grip around Mosi and lifted from her end, ensuring to lift with her legs and not with her back. She held onto her dear friend's departed form as they journeyed back to the chamber where the Grand Duchess watched over the body of the Arch Graveolase. A tear slid down Virginia's face and landed on Mosi's cheek as she set down her friend's last form and she took a moment to compose herself before looking towards Mary. 

	[color=9999ff]"Dame Hale, I must thank you once more for your help with dear Mosi. Consider me to be at your aid for any others that you may need to attend to, included the Soulless."[/color] It was the very least she could do, after all. Mary had helped her--she could and would return the favor by any means within her power.
