"You mean the murder?" Amelia finished for him. Her friendly mask dropping to her usual pragmatism, her brown eyes no longer warm.
Crossing her arms, she quipped, "If you're going to be gossiping about it, you might as well have the gall to call it for what it is." The squire turned a reproachful glance at the eavesdropping shopkeeper who had been rearranging the same three carrots. "Her life was worth at least that much, don't you think?"
Not looking for a reply, Amelia sighed and straightened her knitted cowl, letting the sudden tension ease before continuing, "As for Jali's involvement. I don't believe in incriminating anyone until I have all the facts. And I will have them, you can be sure of that." She stated confidently. "But first, I wanted to check with honest townsfolk, like yourself, before I questioned possible suspects."
Amelia watched the face of the man closely for any sign of subterfuge, one red brow raised. "So if that is all the information you have for me. I will thank you for your time and wish you a happy day at market before going on my way."
