Captain: *nods and stands* Come with me Harlequin.

Quin: */stiffens/, NERVOUS again suddenly* Y-yes, sir... *follows, head up and shoulders back, putting on a brave front...but he's clearly scared*

*When they step into the waiting area Quin will see a noblewoman. She's cool and collected. She turns to face Ius and Quin as they step in, gaze locking on Quin...*

Officer: Captain, this is Lady Vashti Alvierda. The amin boy belonged to her.

Captain: My lady.

Vashti: Is this the man who killed Rai?

Captain: *breath hitches as he is cut off before he can say more...* Yes, my lady. It was a complete accident.

Quin: ............. *drops to a knee before her, head bowed low* M-my lady, forgive me. I've never meant harm to anyone. I have no arguments with anyone, regardless of race or social standing.

Vashti: ...Look at me. *studying him, seeming to decide if she believes him or not. ...finally she nods* What are the options, Captain?

Ius: *will tell her more or less what he’d told Quin.*

Vashti: .....*nods* I have a few things to finish, Captain. I will come back with my decision in an hours, if that is acceptable?

Ius: *nods* Of course, my lady.

Warrik: *soft chuckle* Sir? That's kind of you. Just Warrik, please. *will help guide Misty.*
Tyli: *will lead the last horse a d jog along.*
Vashti: *will finally really set out.*

Quin: *bit of a flinch* Ah… *right…the man’s a j’har…guy probably thinks he was mocking him, so he just…shuts his mouth and goes along with things in silence, winding up lost in thought*

Warrik: *after a while...* May I... ask what happened this morning?

Quin: *curls forward a bit, hand over his face* I-it was a accident. Some poor amin kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time. We were wandering the market. I...I tripped on something, I don't even know what, fell hard against a big bear of a man who in turn shoved - I mean, not meaning to, but he knocked an amin boy off his feet right into a blacksmith's display of blades. One...i-it slid into his chest. Patch said it hit his heart. He...he tried. He's a healer. He tried...b-but there was nothing he could do. A-at least he didn't suffer. I don't think he did. He was unconscious when Patch and I got to him. I think he hit his head on the display. He...h-he looked so young... *hunches lower*
