- And that's why Rhea has decided to take Tomas into
[cdb]custody.
- When he gets back, that is. Seems he's been away
[cdb]from the monastery for a bit.
- Custody? They ought to end his life on the spot!
The churl's enmity toward the church is plain for all
[cdb]to see!
- All the more reason to keep him alive and question
[cdb]him. You really think he's working alone?
- This all comes from that Monica girl we rescued,
[cdb]right? Still, I guess if Lady Rhea believes her...
- So who is this Tomas guy anyway? You say he works
[cdb]in the library?
- So who is this Tomas guy anyway? You say he works
[cdb]in the library?
- Yes, and he's always bent over backward to help me
[cdb]find whatever book I'm searching for.
- He's a kind man—and the last person you'd ever
[cdb]expect to stab you in the back.
- Well, you won't make it too far as an evildoer if you
[cdb]can't pull the wool over people's eyes.
- I can't believe someone that nasty was working right
[cdb]here under our noses.
- But wait... What if the dining hall lady is a traitor,
[cdb]too? I'll never be able to ask for seconds again!
- As if anything would stop you from asking for
[cdb]seconds. Besides, what kind of villain sets their
[cdb]sights on someone's lunch?
- I think we can give the poor dining hall lady the
[cdb]benefit of the doubt. Right?
- I think we can give the poor dining hall lady the
[cdb]benefit of the doubt. Right?
- Trust the dining staff.
- Suspect the dining hall staff.
- If we can't trust the hand that feeds us, we can trust
[cdb]nothing.
- If we can't trust the hand that feeds us, we can trust
[cdb]nothing.
- Exactly. If we start looking at everyone with
[cdb]suspicion, we may as well pack up and go our
[cdb]separate ways now.
- For now we should assume everyone could be an
[cdb]enemy. There's no telling where their spies might be
[cdb]lurking.

- Well, unless you're proposing we stop eating
[cdb]altogether, we'd best muster a little faith.
- I'd really like to stop talking about the dining hall
[cdb]lady now, please.
- So is it safe to assume Tomas hired the bandits that
[cdb]tried to kill us?
- No one has proven he was the mastermind behind it
[cdb]all, but there is no doubt he was involved.
- You're awfully quiet, Marianne. Is everything OK?
- Oh, it's just, I suppose I'm worried about what this
[cdb]all means.
- Hey, I understand. These walls were supposed to keep
[cdb]trouble out, but now everything feels very different.
- Wait. Do you hear that outside?
- Are they ready at the gates?
- Yes, sir! Every exit is covered!
- Well, well. It sounds like Tomas has returned.
- I don't know why I know this, but you need to get out
[cdb]there—and quickly.
- Dash off without a word.
- Mention Tomas before you run off.
- Sheesh, what's gotten into— Oh! Tomas!
- I think he's here. I'll be back!
- I think he's here. I'll be back!
- But let's do it together! Wait, what are we doing?
