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.

[She pauses a moment before adding:] You are bold in your opinion, Haein, and though I may not agree with it in its entirety, it is still a valid position. Keep that fire and that determination. I will need to hear it again, and there is value in it.

There's a stretch of silence on Haein's end as he struggles with a response. ]
Sure, it's not really going anywhere. [ He'll probably go to his grave with the same opinions. ] Good luck, I guess.
[ He'll definitely be watching from the sidelines to see how things turn out. ]
