You find yourself in a beautiful red room, the edges of each wall adorned with real gold accents. At the center of the room is a long table, several chairs on either side of it, perfect for very serious conferences. In the middle of the table is a plate of strawberry jam tarts atop it, one per teammate present.

In the corner of the room is a hole in the ground, only large enough for a small animal to fit through. Next to it is a flat iron bar, curled at its tip, where a golden bell has been hung from it.

Finally, on one wall is a large poster which reads (or you find read aloud to you, if you cannot read):

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.

Up got Jack, and home did trot
As fast as he could caper.
He went to bed and bound his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

I am thinking about it.

...It seems that she is rather exceptional in her understanding of poison. So she is guilty either of failing to do her duty in checking for poison, purposefully letting him drink it despite poison being there, or poisoning it herself.

[seeing that and also lowering her hackles a bit]

So she should be punished too, but for a different reason.

It's about the same level of guilt. ...And about the same crime. "They hurt their sibling, whether or not it was intentional, and did nothing about it."

Mm. I agree.

So we'll give her roughly the same punishment.

Neglect as an accessory to murder, or worse, a murderer.

So it really is parallel to Jack's own crime. The time alone is feasible for both of them, but... That's no good, we already gave her the dessert. Perhaps she should give him some of her best herbs.

Something she'll miss dearly. If she's an apprentice to an apothecary, giving away her herbs would be disastrous.

Precisely. Not all of them. Like the desserts.

Right.
