[ that's bad, too - he's used to being trusted at his word, but the world here works differently, so. rondo's shoulders slump, and he tries to think. logic, war said. logic and evidence. ]
Alfyn and Mr. Geto both had injuries... Alfyn's were the same as they were on Thursday, though, I helped to patch him up. And Sir Iwatooshi... [ oogh oogh he hates the idea of thinking of iwatooshi as a killer more than almost anything, actually!!! she can probably see it on his face. ] He had some injuries, but he was hurt investigating, right? The same as the bees that got me.
... I don't know. I saw Iwatooshi get trampled by a cow yesterday, same as me. If his bruises looked about right for that, then they were probably just from the cow.
[ he swallows. hate that idea. hate that! hate this awful place!!!! ]
... I'll ask Alfyn... I think he was the one that looked. He'd probably know.

What about the others...? I don't think it was Karlach, at least, I... can't imagine her pushing Mr. Tomi that hard, monster or not, if she wasn't at the time sure it was him.
That's part of the problem though, isn't it? We can't imagine people being so cruel. But two days ago, I couldn't have imagined Nona killing Pickles and keeping quiet about it.
We need to assume people can be that cruel. It's not really them we're dealing with, anyway.
