[Judge Simon]

Shade walked over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder, she seemed to cringe at his touch.
Shade-I'm not going to tell anyone, why would I, and who would believe me if I did? Radae[He said slowly turning her to face him]I never wanted you dead, or anyone else I am traveling with.[he said as almost out of nowhere produced a soft cloth for Radae to dry her tearstreaked face, Radae looked up at him and to her his face seemed to have a change. It wasn't so sharp and harsh, and his eyes noted tenderness, she took the cloth from him and walked away, over to the fireplace]
Shade-Radae, I need you to help me...
