...I think people would understand, if it was self-defense. No one wants to see someone put to death simply because someone else tried to kill them once.
[it was, perhaps, just unlucky -
(she remembers that memory of his, though. the intent, as he'd stitched his brother's head back to his body, and sent him off to do his work.)
- that they did not find evidence of another murderer.]
He is a fool. [it definitely isn't said with fondness, but there isn't really much anger in it, either. mostly, she sounds tired.] For all our sakes, I hope he is not facing you tomorrow, either.

I would rather do it myself than see her with your blood on her hands.
no subject
You would want to kill me in her place?
[like, yes, she's old. he has no doubt she might know a couple of things. but she just doesn't--
she hasn't read like the type who's very capable, emotionally.
PLEASE understand how funny it is to type this tag as a mod oh my god.]
