She's totally lying.

I was there. I saw Skye doing the pocket patting, the sleeve checking, the whole "my hands are suddenly very interesting" routine. And yes, rings. Rings with an S. Metal flashing every time she moved. Unless the sun developed a crush on her knuckles, she was wearing jewellery.

And here's the part that Mhaldor bro-lady is very conveniently forgetting.

Right before the waiter got dragged in, Skye and that waiter had a little moment after they both left together. Not loud or dramatic. Just close enough together, heads angled, mouths barely moving. The sort of conversation you have when you want the room to keep thinking it's still a wedding and not a heist!

I could not hear the words, but I saw the exchange. Skye's hand lifted. The waiter's eyes went wide. He gave the tiniest nod, the kind people do right before they do something irreversible and stupid. I know it well.

Then he gets hauled in, isn't given time to even talk, and goes straight to dead. No pleading. No denial. Just immediate dead.

How convenient.

So tell me again how Skye is innocent. Because from where I was standing, it looked like she gave the waiter his final instruction, and he followed it like a loyal idiot.

If I'm wrong, fine. Then Skye can stand up nice and loud and explain why she was huddled in close with that waiter, trading those tiny little nods and hand signals, right before he decided to up and die, all while a royal ring went missing. Because that looks an awful lot less like "coincidence" and a whole lot more like "instructions received."
