(Hound/Regina) Regina looks up, surprised. "Oh, no, Marcus. No, not at all.  Not you."

They go outside to the palace plaza, lit by the bright moons and stars and softly glowing lights that float about. Aegis sits sullenly on a stone bench, then stands when she sees them approach.

Regina's face is stern, more stern than Hound is used to seeing. The expression makes her beautiful, kind face seem almost alien.

She stops when they come close. "All right. Tell him." She places her hands on her hips.

Aegis turns to face Hound, her cheeks still streaked with tears, but she is no longer crying. She seems a little embarrassed, and perhaps defeated, but Hound can still see the tension in her body that marks her lingering defiance. Not looking up, she speaks.

"I'm sorry for what I said. I should have thought before I said it.  I was angry that you didn't tell me, and I still am.  Please don't lie to me again.  Do you accept my apology?"

Her words are sincere, even if they sound rehearsed.
