"I think you've struck upon the keystone. Brother always was quick on his feet when it came to improvising to fit the political necessity," Thyestes offers.

"I think you've struck upon the keystone. Brother always was quick on his feet when it came to improvising to fit the political necessity," Thyestes offers.

“Yes, I should have seen that earlier after our conversation at the reception, but I was too wounded by Ammon’s death last night to think clearly, I guess,” Tiberius replies, smiling at Claudia and mouthing thank you, before looking up at Thyesyes and Kurai. “So, did either of you see Ammon yesterday?”

"Yesterday? No, can't say I did. And Kurai and I were together the whole day, so she didn't see him either," Thyestes adjusts his thin-framed spectacles, "And that also means that if you're looking to cross people off and you have a timeframe, we both have an alibi because each of us can vouch for the other."

“It seems few saw Ammon yesterday, which I find rather strange... though I don’t know the wedding customs here at all well,” Tiberius remarks, as he folds another lily, “As for an alibi, while I’d prefer an independent source beyond the two of you, I understand your position, as my wife and I can only explain our time away from other guests in the same way. I hope you’ll understand when I say though that’s not a very good alibi, as with couples one will often lie for the other without compunction... but we will take it at face value, nonetheless.”

"I understand. I'm sure there are servants who saw us together as well, of course."

[sblock=Vasha] "Please, let me see her, or at least let her know I am here. Someone must talk with her today, and I think she'd rather it be me than anyone else."[/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Vasha]*The servant agrees to let Lynestra know, and a short while later, Vasha is called into Lynestra's chambers. Vasha finds the bereaved bride-to-be bleary-eyed, as if from sleep-deprivation, a great deal of crying, or both.*

"Oh, Vasha!" she laments, "Is he really gone? I still can't believe it..."[/SBLOCK]

Mythweaver nods as he listens to Thyestes' reply. "Your alibi is so far the strongest we have, unfortunately. But yes as Tiberius has said, we understand that time as a couple away from the distractions of the preparations yesterday is definitely warranted. I am curious if Ammon's absence from all events with family or friends is a common occurance at such weddings? Or is that something more in his nature rather than custom."
