Three men sit around a table after a quiet night of sleeping in the Deave Inn is interrupted by screaming, and a woman being taken away by guards.
"It was the maid! The maid found her, that damned healer. Now will you believe that she was up to no good from the start?!"
"What are you babbling about now?"
"She saw the healer kneeling over the man. Knife near the body, blood on her hands, she was already wearing her cloak as if ready to run! Some healer...more like one of those experimenting murderers!"
"Indeed! I saw it too! Those guards had a time taking her away as well. The whole time she was screaming her innocence...just like the guilty do when found at the place of their own crime!"
"Though...she also said something about a woman leaving. I don't think she could have made that up, surely."
"Lies! What better finger to point than someone of the same gender. I tell you, these River folks are nothing but trouble. Been nothing but trouble since they arrived on this Island..."
"You think she'll hang?"
"Likely she'll hang...after the other criminals get their hands on the murderous swine. I wonder how many of them she'll leave as corpses for the undertaker."
