There's an audience, which is incredibly -- well, actually not incredibly unexpected, people do strange things at executions, after all. And (almost) everyone likes a public spectacle. It's the unconvincing beard and the overly-stylized speech that's got Ysalwen off-kilter. That and the obviously false sword suddenly in her hand. Um.
"I suppose we could kill everyone here, but that doesn't seem like the point. And -- is everyone here that's marked for death -- clearly dying already?"
That last is in an undertone to Lesgle.
Liranan, meanwhile, has taken it upon himself to investigate the showy goblet to see what the woman on the ground might be dying of.
The 'whoops' this time might be more genuine. Eventually.
