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):

The Lion and the Unicorn
Were fighting for the Crown
The Lion beat the Unicorn
All around the town.

Some gave them white bread,
And Some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town.

Justice would have been to see her sister returned to her safely with proper punishment meted against the Unicorn.

Right, and I'm sure she had plenty of time to think about proper punishment when she was trying to get her sister back.

And that is why she left the kidnapper incapacitated by her own actions?

Does it say she did it on purpose?

Not all problems can be solved cleanly and painlessly. And sometimes you don't have time to think about how to do things exactly the right way.
oneknightstands: I thought it fitting, considering the rocky terrain. (You are using Bonetti's Defense.)

Even if that may be the case, such actions carry consequences regardless of their motivation. I would not condone the punishment proscribed for us here by our gracious host but I cannot say that I would hold the actions of the Lioness as just.

Well, it's neither of our decisions anyway.

Hey. Some case, huh?

Yeah... it keeps getting more complicated, too.

You'd think they would have mentioned this lover business earlier.

Mm, it seems like a pretty important detail.

I still don't think Lioness should be punished, though.

I agree. I'd do as much for my sister.

I don't-- remember having any family of my own, but that doesn't mean I can't understand the feeling.

Some things are more important than protocol.

Is your team still talking it over?

I... think we decided that she should get a lighter sentence.

Sort of a slap on the wrist, for show.
