Talk:Emerald Sustrai/@comment-10390252-20160117172250

Right now, I despite Emerald more than I do Mercury (which is a lot).

I'm sort of hoping that Cinder eventually betrays her in an utterly cold and dismissive way (maybe with an idle crack about 'cutting loose dead weight'). I'd like for her end to be bleeding out in a ditch somewhere as Cinder walks off as if stabbing a girl who worshipped the ground on which she walks was utterly nothing. It's important to me that she realise, just as the lights are going out, that she was always nothing to her mistress - an utterly disposible lacky with a 'use by date'.

Maybe Mercury can start stuttering about Cinder killing Emerald and his mistress just brushes it off, asking him (with plenty of menace) whether he disagrees with any of her decisions. Terrified, he tells Cinder that he's with her all the way. Then they walk off, Mercury occasionlly shooting horrified and fearful looks over his shoulder at the dying Emerald.
