*Troubled with his conduct towards Melisante, realising he wasn’t likely to get through to the distraught girl no matter what he said, Gabriel heads back out the way he came in search of the healer.*

“Perhaps, but then how hard would it have been to apologise for laying hands on her. Though, in the end, that holds no relevance as to why we ended up dueling, as I was ready to leave without an apology and was doing just that, when he insulted me one time too many,” Gabriel points out. “So your...

“Well, there seems little I can do to convince you otherwise, considering you won’t let me prove my innocence by seeing if there are more than two fresh wounds on his body, so I guess I might as well leave,” Gabriel replies with a frown. “I want you to know though, before I go, that if your...

“Look Melisante, I may not have liked your brother after his derogatory slurs against me, but I certainly didn’t want him dead ... though if I had, I would have done it with a blade, not poison,” Gabriel replies angrily, finally having had enough of being accused of using poison. “I suppose I...

OOC: You’re definitely keeping things interesting, I’ll say that. :lol: “I’m afraid I can’t acquiesce, Melisante, and I feel I’m going to upset you once again by requesting to look at Meleagant’s body, as I haven’t yet checked for any wounds other than those I inflicted, where poison might have...

*Gabriel decides to follow Melisante instead of being forceful about having his question answered, figuring he might find out something if he’s patient. Plus he’d like to check Meleagant’s body for any other wounds that might be the source of the poisoning he’s been told about ... assuming...

“Anne? What was that about Anne?” Gabriel asks, starting after Melisante.

Gabriel puts a hand gently on her shoulder, as he says, “Don’t worry about the kiss, Melisante, I know you’re confused at the moment, otherwise I would have been more than pleased to return your kiss, but the way things stand I just felt as if I’d be taking advantage of your fragile state. I’m...

“Well, yes, I suppose it’s possible, but I didn’t notice anything on the blade I dueled your brother with. Of course, I wouldn’t know what I was looking for, as I know nothing of Contravira Extract or any other poison except what I was told, but the blade seemed clean,” Gabriel replies with a...

Pushing Melisante back gently as she beings to kiss him, Gabriel thinks to himself, “Refusing two ladies in one night, even if they are a little compromised, there must be something wrong with me ... perhaps Adrienne’s comments struck more deeply than I thought.” “While I appreciate the...

“Come now Melisante, I care, it bothers me greatly that I may have contributed to Meleagant’s death in some way, considering it was not my intention, I just don’t see what I can do about it,” Gabriel replies, wiping away a few of her tears. “And no, I didn’t poison him, not that I’m aware of...

OOC: Well, you shouldn’t just say sitting in the corner then. :lol: “If you’re asking why the duel, Melisante, I told him the matter would be concluded once it was over, so I won’t raise the particulars of why I first confronted him again. In fact we likely would not have dueled at all, as I...

Gabriel catches Melisante Degorre and sits her gently back in her chair, holding her hands as he says, “I’m sorry Meleagant’s dead, Melisante, but it was not I who killed him. If he had died in the courtyard, I could not fault your judgement, my dear, however, he walked away from our duel...

“I am, my lady,” Gabriel replies, lowering himself to one knee in front of her so he’s at her level.

*Figuring he’s the source of at least some, if not all the gossip surrounding Meleagant’s death, Gabriel just smiles politely at anyone who looks his way.* “What’s the bet that the crying girl in the corner is either Meleagant’s sister or a lady in love with him,” Gabriel thinks to himself, as...

OOC: On second thoughts, I think Gabriel will stay down here. :D “Indeed, it hadn’t slipped my mind, I just thought it polite to ask in case you required an escort,” Gabriel chuckles, “Well, I will leave you to it then my mischievous mademoiselle.” *Once he finds out everyone else is okay...

OOC: I’ll assume from that we’ve stopped just after Zoe’s reply... “Well, that’s probably a good idea for everyone who’s been drugged, and I imagine Elise’s father will be doing the same soon enough. Will you be making use of whatever arrangements are made for Elise, or do you need to make your...

“Perhaps she did...” Gabriel agrees, though he’s not completely convinced, “Well, lovely Zoe, I will leave you to care for Elise and go check on the others. By the way, what happened to Anne, I left her right here didn’t I?” *Once he has his answer, Gabriel quickly makes his way through the...

“Well, I guess you’re probably right, but I imagine it would have been most enjoyable nevertheless,” Gabriel chuckles. “The healer didn’t find a cause, but I thought ... he must have ... otherwise there’s something strange going on here, as our mysterious Mademoiselle X informed me Meleagant had...

“Oh, not me, I have little knowledge of such things, in fact I didn’t even realise it was Heartmelt until Tommy worked it out ... like you, I thought it was something far more deadly,” Gabriel confesses. “Indeed, being smooched by Meleagant would have been rather awkward to explain away, in the...
