Mary trailed off as she stood beside me, the mature, conflicted woman alternating her gaze between me and the elderly woman still cleaning everything up from the floor, her old bones working against her as she tried to make amends for her mistake, trying to gather pity from everyone else, but...
Sadly for her, those that had influence here, those that mattered, had no pity to spare for an ignorant, idiotic old woman; not myself, not Jahi, not the other Demons, not the Vampire Princess, and not even her own leader.
No one was able to help her, for fear of being punished themselves of a severe lack of care as they continued to eat their own meals - and interestingly enough, some of the humans fell into the latter, staring at Beckandra with disinterest, whilst a few even had smugness in their eyes.
