Master Plum was unconscious and Doctor Swamp was, quite understandably, likely feeling betrayed. However, it wasn't as if they had made an agreement towards a murder pact. Walnut had quite genuinely volunteered to help with the medical treatment of the annoying bird man, out of the kindness of her heart, and found herself witnessing a potential murder. It was annoying - and further proof that nothing good ever came out of trying to help someone, ever. She wouldn't make that mistake again. 

	Jasper then asked where the key was - [i]great[/i]. It didn't give her much time to deal with it. And this certainly did not look good for her, Walnut knew that much. [color=7ea7d8]"I have the key, sir,"[/color] Walnut said, revealing the item Titian had given her. [color=7ea7d8]"I had been asked by these gentlemen - Doctor Swamp and Mr. Titian - to hold it while I assisted with the medical treatment of this man,"[/color] she nodded at Plum.

	She had decided to ignore what Swamp was going on about - it was all lies, anyways. She took another calming breath. [color=7ea7d8]"I have been educated and was happy to assist the good doctor. The poor patient fell unconscious, he then began to scream at nothing and feigned an attack on his person, and then Doctor Swamp bashed the man's head. I feared for the patient's life and my own. My father requires that I keep a pistol on my person for protection, so I shot the doctor so that he would not be able to attack me next."[/color]

	Walnut took another breath, this one a bit more shaky. [color=7ea7d8]"I was so terrified another shot went off - and as you can see, my hands... I-I-I would very much like to lie down and have some water, if that is possible. I'm quite shaken from all of this violence."[/color]

	It helped that her hands really did hurt from the gun - genuine tears were falling from her eyes.
