He gets up off the bed and goes to Marie's closet to look at the floor, but of course the blood has been cleaned by now.Tristan, himself, and Gabriel. Three musketeers, three duels. One was a gentleman's duel, one was inadvertently to the death, and the other was potentially lethal but the loser escaped. In all of them, the musketeers won. Drugged bread, drugged sword, dead Melagaunt. Guillarme's wounded pride and blademaster training. The escape of the Crimson Pumpernickel...who had seemed a fool, but fought remarkably well in spite of it. The gem, the prophecy, the theft. Marie.In his mind he tried to connect these dots, tried to see what emergent order lay within; what pattern to indicate a guiding mind. Three men. Three duels. Three foes. And something else...something hidden just out of sight, poisoning swords and drugging bread and stealing gems..."I need to see the others," he says absently. "Tristan and Gabriel and Hyacinthe. Sometime today."(OOC - I should ask at this point so I don't embarass my poor character again...and you can answer in the OOC thread if you like... What is known so far? Was there blood from the escape? If so, where did the trail end? Was Marie's closet searched? Kitchen staff questioned about the tainted bread? I should have asked all this before, but posting from work means I have to be kind of furtive. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)</blockquote>
