Yet given that these servants and the woman seemed to have no ill will towards her for her actions, she decided that the subject could be dropped. An enemy in the form of Dr. Swamp was not one she would lose sleep over. He had been foolish enough to attempt (well, successfully) commit murder right in front of her, a total stranger. By her calculations, he would make the same mistake again and then be removed from the playing board. 

	Could she have responded to Swamp's taunts? Easily. But once more, she was forced to conclude that there would be very little point. The woman seemed to be depending on him for her source of truth. His list of witnesses and testimonies included people who had presumably heard a description from Titian as to what happened in the room, compounded with the events from earlier. As it stood, of those who had been in the room and knew what had transpired, one of them had died and would not be able to lend his story. Walnut was outnumbered. Besides, Amaranthine seemed determined to smooth the scenario over and paint it in the most positive light. 

	[color=7ea7d8]"My apologies, doctor, if this was truly a simple misunderstanding,"[/color] Walnut said, offering him a slight olive branch as she had shot him. Her mind did flicker back towards what she had seen after shooting Swamp - the horrid sight that was Plum's fallen form! Plum's pet had been bad enough - but that had been truly wicked and awful. As for who the identity of the blackmailer was - she doubted that it was Plum. This matter would not be resolved so easily. [color=7ea7d8]"If that man was the mastermind behind all of this - I would be disappointed that his plan to kill us all was not more sophisticated,"[/color] she concluded. [color=7ea7d8]"The earlier plans and designs... the manipulation with the chair... This does not strike me as coming from the same person that masterminded those feats. This is too simple."[/color]
