[There's a wordless nod because she's busy pulling out a box of cereal and some bowls and some milk! It's definitely knock-off Fruit Loops but it's fine, she'll fix them both a bowl before handing Phoenix his!]
You didn't come here just to have breakfast with me, did you, Nick? [She's sure he has questions of some kind.]
[Hm. Bad. She doesn't immediately answer but seems more interested in pushing her cereal around in the bowl in thought.]
I guess it depends on your definition of bad? But...yeah. Certain things will happen if we don't, so that's why we try to encourage you guys to talk to each other and work together. A lot of the guests are very smart.
You were smart and followed the clues left behind. And you listened to instinct. That's very impressive. [Cereal is delicious.]
We don't get hurt like you guys do if we don't follow our rules if that's what you're asking. But over time...it's just better for you guys to find who's responsible. Prolonging the problem is only going to make things worse, you know?
Well...I trust you. Doesn't that count? [A thoughtful hum. ]
I know people won't want to kill her. So many of you are good that way. But...she's still got that thing inside her. Letting her live is almost an injustice.
Yeah? [Duh, Phoenix.] There's a few of you that I think we can trust here.
It's not that simple though. Whatever this thing is has become such a deep part of her...I don't know if you could separate them anymore. It's possible that there's another solution and we're still trying to think of that ourselves, but right now this is the best...and unfortunately kindest answer.

How did you come to the conclusion for your vote, Nick?
no subject
[ ... ]
She seemed like the most likely suspect, based on the decapitation and her lack of compliance. And I didn't think the horse was related.

[ literal you in this case, since peach was handing out hints like woah. ]

I agree. But is there anything we can do after the fact?

[She hums.] Are you asking me if there's anything you can do for Miss Meltryllis now?
no subject
Pretty much. I'm no dragon slayer.... and not exactly her biggest fan, but I wouldn't want her to live like that.
[ rimshot!! ]
[ also she's dangerous too ofc but. ]

[ that's sweet..... ]
Surely there's a middle ground. Take the dragon out of the knife girl, or something to that effect.

[ he sounds teasing but he does mean it. ]
In theory, does a non-execution means exist to separate them? Not just for her, but others?

Will you tell me when it's available? [ if, but he's trying to be optimistic. ]
