cw: child murder

[Two children. Amanda can't help but curl her lip in a slight sneer at that particular part of the headline. Sure, she and Aunamee had murdered Reira, but Reira was an enemy priest--whom, in Amanda's mind, was directly responsible for dragging the Fog priests into Felfri and away from Her side. The girl's death had been an absolute necessity. These child murders...they're distasteful. Sickening, even. Surely, somehow, they could have been avoided...

She hopes they were quick and painless, at least. Let the adults suffer, let them scream like pigs in their agony, but not the fucking kids.]


...Yeah. Count me in. Whatever it takes, right?

[Unavoidable casualties, she tries to convince herself, but it doesn't quell the sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She holds the paper back out for Javert to take.]

But I don't...I don't wanna kill kids. They haven't done shit to deserve it.
