Instead, her eyes had widened with horror and she let out a bit of a started shriek. Walnut's heartbeat had accelerated tremendously and she was transfixed, staring at Master Plum as if he was the most loathsome and fear inducing creature she had ever seen. She couldn't move her eyes away from Plum if she tried, it was such a horrible vision before her. And while the moment passed and she managed to catch her breath, her hands were trembling but she had learned something crucial. 

	This pathetic man and seemingly part time monster was [i]playing dead![/i] 

	[color=7ea7d8]"Plum, I know that you are awake,"[/color] Walnut finally said, though her hands still shook. She hesitated, before placing the key in Jasper's hand. [color=7ea7d8]"Why would you pretend to be asleep and allow your defender's tale to be misconstrued by this doctor?"[/color] Walnut asked, attempting to give a comforting tone but it quite honestly was more like scolding. [color=7ea7d8]"Perhaps I should not have attempted to help you at all,"[/color] she then muttered. Taking another breath, Walnut attempted to calm her nerves as they were still incredibly shaken - and this time, it was genuine. 

	She forced her gaze towards Jasper, attempting to see who he believed. She had no doubt that he didn't really believe either of them at the moment. That was fine. She could work with that.
