[b][color=#9999ff]Skills[/color][/b]: Deduction, Biology[/center][hr]	Virginia smiled, pleased that she had brought a small bit of joy to Ny. So many people mistook the Crypts for being a cruel and vile family, assuming that the macabre and the darkness were inherently sinister and cruel. It always struck her as mildly odd, especially since so many of the compliments paid by the upper members of society turned out to be veiled threats and insults. The light seemed a crueler place than the dark. She nodded in agreement as Ny lamented that it was a waste. [color=#9999ff]"These poor creatures..."[/color] she said softly, referring to the horses and not the waste of human life. [color=#9999ff]"I hope that their next adventure is kinder to them than this."[/color]

	As she inspected the scene, it didn't take a huge deductive leap looking over the mess to figure out that it was a matter of the carriage breaking free. Of course, there was only about [i]half[/i] of the carriage here - they'd need to find the rest of it, she imagined that whoever was actually riding in the carriage would be found with the other portion. It wasn't an expensive carriage, just a cheap one that could be hired. [color=#9999ff]"From what I can tell, this was just a hired carriage - not one owned by a peer. There are likely more people involved in this of course, since we only have half of the carriage here."[/color] She paused for a moment, wondering if it would be worth it to divert their attention to go attend to the rest of this mess. They had come here to Gretna Green for a purpose and helping strangers, while noble, had not been it. 

	[color=#9999ff]"Unless you disagree, I think we should go find the other half of this disaster,"[/color] Virginia said.

[b][color=ff6600]Skills[/color][/b]: Deception[/center][hr]	Maeve was mulling over the factors of Colette's story in her mind, unable to make heads or tails of it in regards to the truth. It was blatant that the Frenchwoman was holding something back, but it could have been because of difficulties in language. Even with her fluency in sign language, sometimes Maeve told her daughter white lies as it was just easier to communicate them and she wasn't certain of how to sign the words for a more complex idea. Of course, it could be that Colette might have been intentionally holding back information. Those who swam in the social circles that Maeve herself would likely never be a member of tended to use information as the preferred weapon of choice - while Maeve preferred her fists and scathing threats to send a message. 

	Just as Maeve had come to what conclusions she could, Colette then revealed that she [i]hadn't[/i] been completely truthful. She was here after the wounded, feeble woman. Maeve found it astounding that a stranger would go to such lengths for her, as Colette owed Millicent nothing from what Maeve could tell. Why chase a woman across the country on a hunch that they were in trouble? Sure, Maeve could appreciate womanly camaraderie and togetherness as much as the next person, but in her experience that was just a fantasy. Of course, Colette's plea meant very little to Maeve personally - if they were going to assist her, that would be the Lady Kirkpatrick's call.
