Claudius bumps his shoulder with his own. "Nay. Thou hast found enough to make me doubt she is as she appears to be. She told thee a jurisfiction agent's job consists of brute force, persuasion, and paperwork, but I know she has skills beside that, which she did not volunteer. And her awareness of the rumors about her was so pointed she could've been speaking to me directly, even using that word hypothetically, which abutted our last conversation. All the business with her brother I wouldn't have arrived at alone. That's most telling." Gently as he can, he says, "I did tell thee to adjust thy expectations. Thou wouldst not strike the heart of her. But thou hast peeled back several layers."
