Yeah. Last time, sure, freaky mage shit. The white-haired kid was an accident. But the other two - you'd think they'd say something in their own defense. Most people do.
Perhaps they didn't care to spill their innermost desires to a crowd of ill-wishers cheering one's execution? Perhaps they killed to escape, but it hardly seemed like a safe bet. Tempting targets those weeks, too.
[Pausing, though, because he's not stupid. He's thought through the part of the rules that mentions third parties, and he didn't miss the bit about 'the motive they showed everyone.']
Or did you mean to suggest there were motives they didn't show everyone? Do you know something about it I don't? [He says it lightly; he's not sure whether he's suggesting Bull actually knows something, or whether he's just picked up on something. He can be awfully perceptive, after all.]
[He doesn't know if he buys that at all. It was far too specific a comment. But he also isn't going to demand Bull talk to him about it right now. Just raising an eyebrow in order to make clear he knows there was more to it than that. And, more wine.]

[ Nothing out of the ordinary shows on his face, but reaching for the wine bottle, though. Moving on to better topics.]

[He's not jealous of a painting. He's not. She looked pretty cheap, though.]
I didn't want to say anything, but I'm fairly certain her chainmail was permanently lodged inside of her. Not much fun.
