week 11; tuesday; mid-day

[tevinteriscoming]

[He'll try to catch Luke at some point when he's off on his own for a quick chat. Hands up to appear non-threatening]

If this is part of my murder plot, I'm declaring a temporary truce.

[He's just going to lift an eyebrow. Backbiter's strapped to him but at least he isn't making a move to grab for the sword. Instead, he considers that for a moment before he slowly nods.]

Temporary truce it is. But I don't think that's how murder plots go.

[tevinteriscoming]

Oh, I assure you it is exactly how they go. [Arumat forgot to ever declare a truce.] How are you holding up?

[chiseler]

[Another interesting question, and Luke's not fast enough to wipe the light cringe off of his face. But he settles on a neutral sort of smile, shrugging to himself and looking to the ceiling instead.]

Better than some I bet. But can you really blame a guy for thinking about his hostage?

[tevinteriscoming]

No, I can't. But you know, also, there's nothing you can do to help. Someone on Nuwa will kill this week. They'll live.

[chiseler]

So what about us? [He's not entirely convinced that the Nuwa will survive but that's solely out of needing to see proof himself.] You saw how everybody freaked out yesterday...you think somebody's gonna take the bait here?

[tevinteriscoming]

Yes. I think someone will kill this week. If left to our own devices, either someone will become frightened and act, or the souvlaki will act. That doesn't mean I think that's what ought to happen.

[chiseler]

The problem with thinking that the souvlaki will act is that we're putting a lot of risk in assuming they'll act before one of us does. Who knows? Maybe they're thinking the same thing. Why risk blowing their cover if the rest of us are already maybe considering it?

[It's said in the most nonchalant tone possible like he didn't just say everybody's probably thinking of murdering people on the ship, but that's the least of his concerns.] But that means you've got some kind of opinion...what do you think should happen here?

[tevinteriscoming]

Not necessarily. It's only that, I'd rather we find a way to ensure that the deaths this week don't function to take down the people we need to help us.

[He's worried Luke is planning to kill, is the point.]

[chiseler]

[He knows. That doesn't mean he's going to make this easy despite the fact he agrees. The one thing he can count on with Dorian at least is that he can bounce ideas off of him without worrying about offending him.]

Is that everybody, or are you thinking some people more than others?
