Hearing this does nothing to quench the curiosity Alisaie feels, but loyalty to Casper comes first. If he truly wants to tell her, he can do it later.
If she's honest with herself, she's known what she needed to do since she first walked in on this conversation. Someone who makes Casper this afraid, who tries to make her doubt one of her most trusted friends in this place, who clearly has no intention of changing...
She wishes she were better with words. But she'll never be her brother, and she thinks that what Casper needs right now is action.
Her rapier is drawn almost faster than Casper can track it, focus aglow and tip pointed directly at his father's throat. "If you have any remorse at all, turn around and go. I will let you walk away." She suspects it's more than he deserves, but she won't forgive herself if she doesn't give him the option.
