[Leslie listens to Hubert's, well, lesson on the nature of covert actions carefully, but when he mentions poison, her eyes grow wide.
The examples she gave were from Marquess Sperado, the person she hates the most in this world. They're not the kinds of things that Duchess Salvatore, the person she admires most in the world, would do. Marquess Sperado would absolutely resort to poison if it was for his advantage. Duchess Salvatore, almost inhumanly strong and noble....
...Leslie actually doesn't know for certain what the duchess would do. After all, the duchess told her not to worry about what would be involved in taking down the marquess. She doesn't think the duchess would, though. She seems to prefer to take people on directly.
Leslie doesn't say anything right away, though. The feeling in her gut is that this is wrong, but she still takes the time to think about it. After all, there isn't a Duchess Salvatore here, with the strength to fight back against the rulers of this place. There isn't a legal system to judge these Fae who seem to have taken humans as slaves. But she also doesn't know very much about the Fae. What they've done, exactly, how things became this way, and whether some of the Fae are just unable to stop the people responsible for the more reprehensible parts.
And, she realizes, she doesn't fully know what it is that Hubert is suggesting. After almost half a minute of silence, she asks:]
That allergy...what does it do to them? [Is it fatal?]
