The Caged Bird
Recalling his own trial, Griswold cocked his head at the man. "'As happens to all sin-eaters'? Hardly, my dear man. Being a sin-eater isn't even illegal in Krieghold. TO think your Grandmaster considers me unworthy whilst his very own knights lie so brazenly.
"Hmm...I wonder...Perhaps those double-standards are why the Viscount is conspiring with a woman who herself is due to stand trial over the very events that led to his son's life being put in danger? I'd say it is in poor taste to let one accused be so involved with another's trial over the same events, wouldn't you? Or do they intend to fix the Lady's trial as well as the girl's? That's beyond a conflict of interests, it's a criminal perversion of justice!"
Suddenly Griswold raises his voice, no longer simply talking to the men in front of him, but performing so that not just the knights, but every passer by could hear.
"Ah, but I'm sure it's all just one big misunderstanding! They must not have been informed of that inconvenient little fact yet? Of that other trial. Well, we must tell them at once! Imagine what it could mean for Viscount Kilquist, for Lady Inara and, of course, Grandmaster Gustav, once word gets out! And imagine what it will mean for those who knew about it but did not do their civic duty to inform those who were involved!
Griswold's voice dropped to a whisper as he leaned towards the snide little knight. "So you best let us know where they are right now. Otherwise, I'll be forced to report to the other Grandmasters and let them know about this sordid little conspiracy. I'm sure an investigation by them would only delay the girl's trial by, oh, a few weeks or so. Assuming it doesn't cause it to collapse entirely. Not to mention the disrepute it will bring upon your Grandmaster. And who do you think he will blame for that? Me? Or you, the knights that told me about it?" Griswold stared pointedly between the knights leaving no doubt as to where he thought the Grandmaster's boot would fall.
