(Gossip) Ask Brunhilde how her first night went

Once again, Brunhilde was determined to put up this adversarial act and withhold any help she might otherwise give your investigation. Determined to break through her shell, you dusted yourself off and put on a cool demeanor, not rising to her provocations. Even if everything else was going crazy all around the house, this wasn't the time for anybody to start physically imposing their will, whether it was you or her.

You kept the conversation light, asking if she'd settled in well during the past night and rested comfortably, despite all of the weirdness going on. The guest rooms were pretty luxurious, but maybe she was used to that, living with the pampered Yara Ashour.

"Fuck off. Yara actually isn't as much for the rich bitch lifestyle as you might be thinking. She travels the world to gather her collection, going to a lot of places that don't have five star hotels. If you think she lives on a private island like Wanda Fucking Croft, you're sorely mistaken."

She actually seemed pretty offended by the implication. You tried to calm her down, telling her that you had no idea what those two got up to when they were out and about. So then she probably did enjoy having a nice bed to sleep in?

"What are you trying to say? Were you listening in on me and Yara last night?"

You shook your head. You'd been occupied with... other things. Why would she just assume that?

"What the two of us do at night is our business. It's not something we want you sticking your nose into, little man." She pushed her finger up against my chest, pointing at me in an accusatory fashion, now gritting her teeth. "Why don't you stay on your side of the hall?"

Again, you denied that you'd ever wandered over there. Also, what was she even talking about? What would there have been to hear?

"Nothing. If you don't know shit, stay quiet. How about you just don't bother me at all from now on, huh?"

She stormed off in a huff. What the hell was she talking about? At least it didn't seem she was in your way, no longer stopping you from checking out the rest of the exhibition nor from speaking to the other guests.

--Someone's suspicion of you rises!--
