[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 2382273, member: 29014"] *Alire shakes her head and replies in Eldish to Melody.* [SBLOCK] "You are very quick to lower your guard when presented with an persona, quite possibly feigned, of weakness and simpering kindness, but it doesn't make sense...consider: Let's assume that our assassin friend here is not the real assassin. Then she must have gone to a large amount of trouble either duplicating or retrieving and planting these hairs on the scene of the crime. But, assuming this Nymph isn't the real thief, if she was going to hide the jewel on some other girl, why bother? All that the hairs could possibly do would be to point us in the right direction, and here we are with the Jewel, so any plan to keep it away from us obviously failed. You assume a highly competent manipulator, but then that doesn't tell us why we were able to foil her plan." "Now let's back away from our assumption that the thief and assassin was not our culprit here: If we instead assume that she *is* the correct thief and that the hairs fell off naturally and were not planted, then it all makes sense--although admittedly we must assume that any claims she has to not being here are simply a well-built alibi and that her 'Little Miss Nice Girl' persona is a sham.
