Well, it's not a court or an execution chamber (although he doesn't doubt it could become equivalent to either, if Joffrey so desired.) That's a positive. On the other hand -- that is, he thinks, the woman who had a nervous breakdown over filling up a water bottle, and the rest of the people in the room are virtual unknowns. (Except for, maybe, the man in grey; he had seemed at least somewhat competent.)

Hei moves towards the people sitting, trying to keep an eye both on Joffrey and on Varrå. 'Glad you are unharmed.' And they are, aren't they? So he must need them. And for what?

Quietly, he slides behind Shonagon's seat. Just-as-quietly, he asks, "What proposal?"

She doesn't jump, though it takes effort not to.

"I didn't intend to propose anything," she murmurs. "But I think His Highness means to put us to work. I may have..." An awkward half-chuckle, muffled when she bites down on her lip. "...I may have inadvertently suggested to him that we would make effective investigators."
