[color=7ea7d8]"Yes, there is considerable pain,"[/color] she admitted. Those tears from earlier had not been faked or forced - they were genuine. The pain had been tremendous and it continued to be so. In many ways, Walnut was of the opinion that it hurt more after the fact than it had during the actual wounding. [color=7ea7d8]"Yet I stand by my actions, even with the pain. The man whom you support and care for... he attacked an already wounded and defenseless man without provocation."[/color] It was the truth once more. How strange. She had to tell the truth and attempt to get others to believe it, when she was more accustomed to doing the opposite - selling a lie. Yet as her thoughts flickered towards the horrible sight she had seen after Plum was on the ground... she shuddered a bit in memory. Was he really a man? What had been that horrible thing?

	She had to resist the urge to snap and say something scathing as she was given another nudge forward. She stepped forward, through the door and out into the Grand Vestibule once more. It occurred to Walnut that she had essentially gone in what must have been a square or circular pathway. That was good information to know. Not that she was intending to need to escape and lose others in pursuit, but she now knew multiple pathways that would lead to the same destination. That could prove useful later on. And while Amaranathine had taken off her mask, Walnut paused for a moment. 

	If she wanted them to trust and believe her, then she needed to prove that she had nothing to hide. The petite little thing then took off her own mask.
