Marietta sighed with relief. "Oh, thank goodness. I was worried someone else had been killed! Hmm?"Saleon wrote:Amber Faust

Day, Alleyway"No, no..." Amber Consoled, "it isn't another body: it's a little thing I was hoping you could tell us about." She hoped that Daisy or the others wouldn't realize something was a little awkward between Amber and Mari and Charlotte, though at this point it might be obvious. She held back her worries, and lifted the button from her pocket, "we found this from the crime scene; would you happen to know who this belongs to? It was from the shop you visit all the time, Corsair's."Charlia wrote:Marietta was the one closest to the door, so she cried out, "I'm coming!" and ran to open it.
As soon as she did, she remembered why that voice had sounded familiar, and her pale face turned bright red.
"O-Oh," she squeaked. "Miss Faust... Is... is there something you need? Why are there so many people here with you?" Her eyes widened, and her hands flew to her mouth. "I-Is someone else dead?" she asked, sounding quite horrified.

I'm watching you, so don't try anything funny or I'll make sure you regret it.
Amber looked towards Charlotte. She wasn't as fazed by Charlotte as Mari. She gave a colloquial smile that basically said, yeah. no, your not stoppin' me, no matter what I have planned in a playful. not overly serious manner.
She looked at the button, her eyes widening a fraction. "I don't know who it belongs to. It could be one of mine, I suppose, but it's not as if I'm the only person who gets things from--"
Then her face paled.
"M-Miss Faust! A-are you... are you saying... Do you really think I killed those poor people?" she gasped. "Why... How could you think I'd ever..." She started shaking her head frantically, backing away. Her voice cracked. "How could you think that? My job is to help save people, not to rip them apart in such horrible ways!" She shuddered. "It's horrible! And you... you think I did it?"
