No disagreement from Gwenaëlle, answering Orlesian in kind: “Maybe that,” she suggests, dubiously, aware that pressing someone for answers isn't something she has so much experience in to confidently assert what's going to work.

“The quick death or the slow one.”

Now that is closer to her wheelhouse, either way.

“We need to know if anyone expects them. If anyone else saw anything.” A hesitation. “If we damage the bodies badly enough, maybe no one would be looking for the household. For a time, at least.”

Burning the whole house down isn't not an option, but probably something they'd have to come back and do, not on the way— and that's loud, chaotic, and besides which might be the thing that makes Vorenia balk too hard. So probably not that, outright. But maybe some burned bodies could look like a murder...

Well, it would have been. Will be.
