The pain of what she had done flared briefly in t'Llhweiir's eyes before it vanished behind the cool, hard mask that had become her face. "Thank you, Sir," she replied simply. (ooc: is brennan still there?) (OOC2: Oh, yeah. He's still here) Matt was clearly deflated, and even though he wasn't the one at stake here, he looked more beaten and defeated than Sam did. He'd watched the interplay between the two, staying clear because he had nothing meaningful to add. Tehre was no compromise he could think of that would bridge this gap, and he was completely heartbroken. He looked to Carrhae, askign her with his eyes if this pound of flesh was enough to satsify her honor.
