"They killed someone who couldn't run, couldn't fight back, who was unarmed..." Even grimaces. "...hopefully she won't take it out on everyone . "
Mutt nods. That's bad, but the Queen is taking care of it and so getting in her way would also be bad. But they're out of the way now.
It's an indeterminate span of time before the door opens, and the Queen walks in, smiling brightly. The bottom of her cloak is covered in blood. "....little Mutt. You tried to keep the little party from acting against my rules... correct?"
Mutt nods without hesitation. "They were doing bad things, and I stopped them." They frown. "Some of them. I wasn't able to get to the rest. Even said they killed someone."
"...good. that's what I thought you'd done. stand up. I've brought someone for you." She holds out her hand.
Mutt stands up, head tilted slightly to the side. They're not sure what the Queen means, but she is in charge and she is good. They take her hand.
She leads them into the hall, beaming. "I can't wait to show you your surprise. I'm sure you'll be delighted!"
