He thought back to the leads the office had gone over this morning.
"It was a fairly large carriage," he said after a momentary pause. "And the family it belonged to was obviously stuck in Wellingtonshire. It was most likely an accidental hit—but we highly doubt they didn't realize she was hit," he explained. There was enough chaos at the moment; they didn't need people believing there were wild carriage-drivers targeting innocent bystanders.
"Even if they are caught, though, though'll have a good defense. The fog's effects remain unknown to a degree—obviously—but if the carriage had hidden magical properties, it could have malfunctioned on a turn. That's what half the office thinks happened," he managed.
"And if that's the case, it could only cause more questions and more panic."
That's what it really was at the moment, right? Controlling public opinion so nobody rioted in the streets?
