[Ethlyn pushes her hands back through her hair, but she doesn't hid her face in her hands like Claude is doing. His explanation does not help. Is he actually planning to go out and poison people? Has she befriended a murderer? The kind and cheerful man who's become a confidante here... what if she as as mistaken in him as she and her brother were mistaken about...
She takes a deep breath in and out, trying to calm herself. One day she'd like it not to be her job to be calm, but that's not today, and it won't be any other day either.]

[Yes, it's unfair. No, she doesn't believe it. But she has to know.]
