[It... definitely takes a while for the weekly after-execution note to arrive, but it does --- kind of scrawly and on ripped paper rather than nice stationery.]

EY. YO. WE GOT EFFIGIES IN THE DINING ROOM AND WE'RE GONNA BURN EM.

FOOD TOO. THE USUAL AND HOT COCOA. GOOD FOR THE SOUL. GET SOME. MAYBE TAKE IT BACK TO YOUR ROOM IF YOU HAVE TO. JUST GET SOME.

[Anyway, in the dining room, there's plenty of mugs set out, with a janky looking arrow sign pointing into the kitchen to where you can get your hot cocoa. On the table, there's Vichyssoise, a pot of green tea, and some booze. There's also a cookie tray on the floor away from the table on which to burn the Wordsmith and Kimbley effigies, which are handily placed near the food on the table.

...also if you go in the kitchen without shoes on just. Watch the northern corner. There's no kidneys, but there's a lot of broken plates there for some reason...]

[...Is that it? Is that his punishment? Instead of dying with his friend, he has to live with what they did.]

I thought you'd be angry. And Lusamine. And...

[He doesn't know what he's trying to say anymore, but the hugging is nice.]

[matchbreaker]

You were worried about me? Oh, you silly boy.

[ . . . Yes, she is angry. She suspects that Lusamine is too, if she can feel anything at all. No, Elda just continues to hold him, stroking his head. Hr long nails itch his scalp somewhat, and she cooes, keeping him close to her chest.

Elda Marker is furious.

But she also liked Silver okay, and while she won't apologize for what she did, she does still feel bad. And she is also glad that he survived. All of these emotions can exist all at once, and right now, they manifest in this way. ]

[feistytrader]

Of course I am.

[Not was, am. He hurt Elda a lot. He heard her raw pain. She lunged at him, and-

He needs to thank Mikazuki later, doesn't he?]

[matchbreaker]

You needn't be. I'm quite capable, after all.

[ She says this, perhaps a little arrogantly. No, showy was more like it. ]

[feistytrader]

...I know you are.

[Guess there's no sense in arguing it, then.]

[matchbreaker]

[ She nods.

... There is more, of course there is. But the last one he should worry about right now is her ]
