"Oh. I suppose you weren't party to that. The...the Bellwether Beast, on the day I left, ran rampant through the city, looking for Mary Read."
Mina was feeling a little bit more than guilty about that one. Leander had come to her, asking for a way to spread around his legend so that he might attain the powers of a Fae. Selfishly, she had inserted herself into the story. Greed had always been a downfall for her. And then, at the least opportune moment, on a whim, she had convinced her own ward, Veronica, to dress up as Mary Read for the stupid masquerade party.
In retrospect, she probably should have seen it coming.
"I suppose I've just been worried about the people I've left behind," she sighed. "Especially poor Veronica. The Beast was after her..." Mina curled her hand up into a fist, resting it against her lips. "I suppose after the church incident, you know that I...well, Veronica, Rosa, Brie...I've been looking after them. Anna too, to a lesser extent. Although she's beyond my reach at this point. I always worry about the women in my city."
