You head back up stairs to the second floor. Attrebus said that Vallina was being kept to her room under constant watch. Sure enough, when you reach Vallina's room, the Councillor's bodyguard is watching the door. Fortunately, he recognizes you and doesn't seem to have a problem with your visit.

"The Councillor said you might be coming by," the bodyguard says. He turns and knocks on Vallina's door. "Lady Vallina, Alastor is here."

Vallina opens the door. She smiles when she sees you, and invites you into her room.

"Thank you, you may go now." she says to the bodyguard.

"You know I can't do that, m'lady." he responds. "Councillor's orders. Let me know if you need anything."

Vallina shoots him a glare as he closes the door behind him.

"I can't believe Attrebus!" she goes off. "Treating me like a child! I'm not some little girl who needs saving. I can take care of myself!"

She calms down after a moment or two, noticing your worried expression.

"I'm sorry Alastor," she says "I just can't stand Attrebus some times. I know he means well, but I don't need protection."

She motions over to a small table. It has been set with a teapot and a few cups. You follow her over, and take the seat opposite to her own. Being the gentleman, you pour cups for both her and yourself.

"Thank you," she says, taking a drink. Although, she probably isn't refering to the tea. "I've been bored, stuck up here all morning. I'm not even sure what's going on downstairs, but I can only imagine how the guests are taking the news."

You take a sip of the tea. Ah, Canis root tea. The drink of true nobility.

A) Ask her about last night. Perhaps she saw something you didn't.

B) Explain to her the current situation. How the Fortesias have intimidated everyone.

C) Tell her what you know about the murder. You doubt Attrebus has told her anything.

D) Ask about her history with the Fortesias. You know about Ignatius...
