week 1 - trial

[productions]

week one trial



[At 9 AM precisely, the old grandfather clock chimes once again, and the doors to the drawing room are opened. They will remain open until everyone has come inside, after which they will shut behind them. It is not possible to leave on your own, although perhaps if you have a specific purpose the hostess will allow you to go. The room is set up comfortably, with several tables by the fireplace set out to assist with the trial. The Hostess will also remain in a seat near the fireplace, next to the scales on the mantle. At lunch, the doors will open to bring in a large meal on an automatically rolling buffet, and at 3 PM, tea and finger sandwiches will be served. You'll be able to enjoy the trial in comfort, of course, but the information cards set out on tables will not allow you to forget your true purpose here.]

Hm...

[He isn't sure how to respond to that. He likes her, and she likes animals. And that makes him want to protect her, but his view on life has been so colored by his own painful experiences that his idea of protection would be to have her isolate herself like he did. Plenty of people seem to interact with other people and they do all right, but the type of person who bonds with animals, to him, is the type who won't be understood by humans.]

I will not speak to your companions, but in this place at least you must show caution. You cannot trust one whose heart you do not know, and you can never truly know the heart of another with the blood of men.

I know I must be on my guard. Miss Susan has warned me to do the same.

[She looks up at him with a determined expression.] Still, even if I may not know what truly lies within other people's hearts, I know what is in my own. Turning my back on my companions is simply something I cannot do. So...you don't have to believe me, Mr. Gundam, but I give you my word that I will not betray you. And the Xingese never break their word.

[godwhisperer]

I...I see.

[He turns a little red, and looks away.]

It is a fine thought.
