"If you have some injuries, we need a story. We were, uh, sparring yesterday. Right?" RIGHT?!?
Sure she was the first suspect that came to mind. Who else (other than Gadriel) had beef with Aella? "You do not need to lie to me, Nina. I will protect you."
He stopped his fussing at her, looking her squarely in the eyes. "I will protect you, Nina. If you did. I would take the blame myself." Because he probably was near the top of many suspect lists.
He remembers having to pull her away from Cordelia. That tracked. But Aella was also a target.
"I didn't kill anyone!" She shouted, arms thrown in the air for emphasis. "So don't go throwing yourself on a sword when you don't need to. I didn't do shit. I went for a run and came home. Ask any of the seven hundred creatures living in this house."
