You are the first to know I am speaking with a necromancer.

I was hoping we could set a trap.

[transponders]

[ He might unknowingly have one of hers by the proverbial balls, but damn if he isn't fun. ]

Ooh, sneaky! What kind of trap?

[redsoil]

I want to leak critical information to small groups.

If wolves are among them, and act upon it — we will know. But only if they act, unfortunately. I imagine them to be smart.

[transponders]

I can help with that. If you give me the information. And make sure that necromancer keeps their mouth shut about the heart.

1/2

[redsoil]

I was thinking — if I can convince Ani to be your doctor this round, would you claim to be the necromancer? If not, we may have to divulge multiple names and roles at random. Track them.

[redsoil]

And what do you mean, keep quiet about it?
To pretend we are unaware that you, I and they know?

[transponders]

There's someone on hearts that I would prefer not to be named. I'd like it kept between us for now, so it doesn't come back to them.

You can make me the necromancer, if you don't mind me...enhancing the story. If the real one doesn't contradict me, and you can get Ani onboard.

[redsoil]

Let me run it by Ani, first. I do not wish to put you in harms way if it would gain us nothing.

As for your unnameable on hearts... have they a role? Or is this preference? You and I are teammates, here. I cannot promise not to step beyond if it maintains our team's strength.

[transponders]

I don't believe they have a role. But I want to protect them all the same.

[redsoil]

Of course.

I believe it. Could I help you protect them? I do not believe Ani will defend you, she is in high demand... but if anything happens to you, I would take over safety for your charge.

[transponders]

How?

[redsoil]

Keep attention off them. I falsified someone's death last year, quite effectively.

[transponders]

So I heard. But you shouldn't use the same tactic twice.
