Cecily grumbled at Satsume's accusations. It was as though he did not think through his words. The peasantry can be so stone-minded, but it couldn't be helped. However, she did not feel that it was necessary for Satsume to know everything.
"I am a noble of House Laus. If I was a criminal, what kind of crime would I be capable of that would have covert agents tracking me down? It is not any ubiquitous crime, or else it would have been declared publicly. It is not something you must concern yourself with yet."
She anticipated an outburst and raised a finger to hold his tongue.
"I do appreciate your help and I may be forced to ask for your help again, but there are things that I must confirm for myself before sharing anything."
The noble paused, contemplating her own words. Cecily presumed that Satsume would not like her answer, but there were things that she wouldn't be surprised for him to figure out on his own.
"The assassins appear to be Lausian," she added. "One of them, at least. They will be back, if Theodore does not stop them all."
She stopped again, clenching her bed sheets tightly as her thoughts returned to her servant. Cecily knew she cannot linger on the subject. Dead or not, he is not here to protect her. Staying in Satsume's care would eventually place them at risk.
"Are you going to continue harboring me or leave me to fend for myself?" she asked him. "I can only give my gratitude in return, at this time."

It took them some time to track down Cecily's whereabouts, but the trails out of the camp eventually led them to a nearby village. She is definitely here, under the care of a local family. It doesn't matter if they knew who she was: they will die alongside her if they attempt to get in the way.
Sheridan beckoned his men. Now is as good as any. They approached the house from multiple directions. A couple walked openly, plainly clothed, to appear as refugees wandering around. Others moved in from the shadows, to slip inside and finish the job.
