psychic thread
[The gentle brush against the Strangers' minds comes in early evening. It is, as all mental touches are from Fayura, soft and unassuming, much like a polite knock at a door. Once as many minds are connected as she thinks will open the door to her, she speaks.]
I am curious, Strangers, what you would do with the young man who shot and killed Councilwoman Vera.
Many of you come from worlds where there are laws against murder. While we have no such laws here, when a Blood male in a Queen's Territory kills another without cause, she may demand a price from him. Sometimes, that is his own life if he was negligent enough with his temper and sometimes, it's something less.
My trouble is this: if I execute him according to the laws of the Blood, of which he is not one, the Guilds will rouse their people into a furor and attack not only me, but the people of Draega. If I turn him over to the Ebon Council, the Guilds will do much the same, and that will incite the Council to strike back. And if I return him to the Guilds for accolades instead of punishment for taking a life, the Ebon Council will have cause to rip apart the Guilds and anyone in their way to extract from him the price for murdering one of their own.
Were you me, what course would you take? And please try not to shout over each other; this is as many of you as I could reach.

It's been exhausting talking to so many people, with most of them arguing against his points. All he wants now is to be left alone. ]
Whatever.
[ The reply is abrupt, but there's no real malice behind it. ]
Let's just go our separate ways.

[ this conversation is going to end awkward and weird and daylight hates that the most. daylight feels a heavy weight settling in his churning tanks, kicking himself hard for pushing a boundary and making someone uncomfortable.
he hopes he can make it up to the guy in the future. for now? the most he can do is let the guy breathe and have one less person chatting his ear off. ]
Sorry and, umm, good luck.

That seems like an odd thing to wish him, and he's a bit confused by it, but he doesn't ask for clarification. This conversation is over with, and Haein offers no parting sentiments of his own or even a simple good bye.
If anyone needs luck in this situation, it's Daylight. ]
