[She opens her mouth to respond... but shuts it after a moment more. For a second, she can't speak--but then she shakes her head, a small, wan smile coming to her face.]
That ought to horrify me. But coming from you, I find I'm grateful more than anything else.
That was the intent, so I'm glad. [He smiles, gentle. He's a little surprised if she is in fact this week's murderer, but like. Good job. You did it. He'd have helped if you'd asked him.]
...You don't have to tell me more, if you don't want to. But I am curious about which one it was.
[Again, she hesitates--but this hesitation doesn't last as long before she takes a breath...
And doesn't say a thing, her eyebrows furrowing down.

[He furrows his brow slightly in concern. His priorities are a bit askew, as you can tell. Alisaie potentially murdering someone and getting away with it? Fine. Impressive. Proud of her. Alisaie not being allowed to talk about it? Hmmmm.
But he eases up, the tension dropping from his shoulders.]
Well, it's no problem. You can tell me after we decapitate this angel thing, yeah?

That's not a question she can answer.]

If I can.
We've but to make that happen, first.
