I... am sorry... for what I said to you yesterday. Not even for a moment have I ever thought you a coward. But if it meant delaying the vote even a minute longer...
[ She looks troubled, like she's struggling for what to say. ]
...but I spoke dishonorably, because I was afraid. And so... please accept my apologies.
[ She gives an inordinately deep bow, her hands on her knees; this is another one of those culture shock things, but she doesn't think the Novoselican way of apologizing would be appropriate here. Don't ask. ]
Do not think I have forgotten the scoundrel who was content to watch the trial's proceedings yesterday. That coward knew precisely what I did. How pleased they must have been with my actions, allowing them to avoid the difficulties of a true defense. Ahaha. Ahahaha. It has been a long time since I have felt such loathing for another creature, but this one is truly a base abomination I will feel no remorse in exterminating.

It is no matter...
The premise upon which my actions were founded was at fault, therefore the blame lies with me.

No... [ Her voice hardens. ] No, it does not. The blame lies with the true mastermind of this plan.

...But I was wrong, and I caused...difficulties. So I must evaluate my own shortcomings.

I have... too much faith in you to believe you would ever do such a thing...
no subject
[That doesn't exactly make sense.]
Still, to interfere with my decision, knowing what it meant...but I suppose I cannot speak against it.

[ Her voice drops. It's almost a whisper. ]
If you... would agree to it... I will do my best to explain after the trial.
