Aurelia
How come silence is so loud in the shadows?
I wanna scream 'til it's on
I wanna scream 'til it's on
Her expression remains gritted, though mostly-neutral, against his initial reaction to her statement. She doesn't quite know how to answer that first part. Was it necessary? No. Is tactically a bad way to make choices? No. But was it tactical? Also... no.
"The Slagveld is never empty on its own. They forced people to evacuate the building before they tried to destroy it, and perhaps they think that makes it okay," her gaze narrows and she glances away, her jaw rolling to contain her frustration and maintain her collected demeanor, "but it doesn't. Personal belongings, belongings that were important to people, were within that building. They destroyed city property as well as personal." The lantern Sunjata made for someone whom had died in his past, and all of the personal belongings that Adam had lost.
She nods. "Yes... the Governor's guild, in fact. There was no reason the guild could be deemed a threat. Not at this point in time. It's been repurposed from its original intent - and more-or-less.. quiet. Hotaru was a member. Which means that her actions were a betrayal against the guild itself." That, she adds with a bit of emphasis and a lift of her browline. One does not simply get away with betraying their own guild. "The reason they attacked the Slagveld was altogether personal. An attack made against Sunjata, we believe. It adds up, considering that Deimos has threatened him before. Said that if he hurt Hotaru, he would kill him. And... well, not long after Hotaru and Sunjata split up... Deimos and Hotaru burn his very own building down."
And gave themselves completely, utterly, irrevocably away. There isn't a whole lot to detective about. The truth is plain and clear, to Aurelia, especially now that she's received so much confirmation of things she either had hunches about or... well, things that enlightened her already educated guesses.
"I will say... my attack against her companion was neither necessary nor tactical," she says, pointing out, "it was a consequence that I deemed appropriate. I'm not afraid to knock someone down off their high horse. They came into my city, thinking they were invincible, that they could act on a whim. Well, they had another thing coming."

Tell my feet they should run
but they don't follow
