feredarStory: Appearances
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Kesshare
Warnings: Discussion of murder (of family members) and getting away with it, sociopathic POV.
In the end, it’s all about appearances.
Oh, people can suspect all they want--and, of course, they do. It seems almost a hobby of the court, to gossip about just how accidental a significant death was. But gossip and suspicion count for nothing against a carefully-painted picture of innocence, of mere mischance, of gratitude for a sudden windfall.
Kesshare is not any kind of performer, nor is she flamboyant--she prides herself on her discretion. But Kesshare is, nonetheless, a master of manipulating others’ perceptions.
And, after three carefully planned, carefully presented murders, Kesshare is a master of appearances.
