As mild as she normally was, Cecil was so taken aback that he was beginning to fear for his safety as his wife continued to pace the room and rant. Kain, that traitor, had beat a hasty retreat out of the window and left Cecil alone with her while the white mage was practically snarling. The paladin hadn't moved a muscle from his seat, recalling on a subconscious level that predators tended to track prey by motion. He had at least managed to glean from her ravings that there was a nobleman who had utterly offended her, and the paladin debated even giving this man any warning that he was about to face the wrath of all of the hells in condensed form or whether he should just selectively ignore the next complaint given to him. Rosa was not a woman to be scorned, regardless of her general disposition. Supposing Cecil got out of this situation unscathed, he was going to find Kain and punch him in the face, and then he was going to be very, very careful around his wife until she no longer bore an air that was a mixture of a rabid dog and a prowling feline setting up for the kill.
