Ever since Freya's accident, Sintrina had developed a hair trigger temper. However, was it so bad that their subjects were made to sort out issues on their own? It gave them a sort of dependency. Sintrina inwardly snorted, now she was just making excuses for herself. It wasn't something that she often did.<br/><br/>Sintrina gave a sigh, Isolde was right--as usual.<span style="color: #FFBFBF"> "I suppose that is our doing..."</span>she muttered as she rubbed her neck. However, who could blame her? Well, everyone could if they so desired--but she had a reason. She was pretty sure that the hunting accident had been more of an assassination attempt, though she had been unable to prove it. She had become paranoid after that--paranoid for Freya, paranoid for Isolde, paranoid for her husband, and paranoid for herself. Any small mistake was looked at as a grave crime by her, a possibility of a small slip up turning into something far bigger.<br/><br/>She had even gone to the point to have cleared out the inner ring as much as possible, and what she couldn't clear out she had closely monitored. She had not monitored Deanna and Donna as closely as she had everyone else because she had felt they were trustworthy. She worried greatly for her family, though there was no proof that any had tried any assassination attempt to begin with. However, as she reviewed her and her family's behavior over the years, she realized that they were likely driving their people to begin contemplating such deeds.<br/><br/>Sandra Dilanio arrived soon after Isolde's summons.
