You asked me to be cautious when speaking of it. As I have mentioned before, some of us are attempting to piece everything together among ourselves.
I think it may become necessary to say something of it, so they do not make more of it than there actually is... but it is difficult to speak of without making his allegiance something they will guess at. Does that remain a concern?
[a slight pause, and:]
Between us, I believe we have kept secrets enough for them to be trusted not to do anything foolish.
Okay, so, here's the problem. Do you remember when I said that the other Leaders were going to get mad at me for taking things into my own hands? I very specifically meant Swan. Swan is going to be extremely angry, and even though they seem very sweet and nice, they are pretty ruthless when they feel like they've been wronged. They didn't even believe the splintering thing, despite multiple participants saying they saw it themselves, until the very last minute because they were holding a grudge about people killing.
[ ... ]
So the problem is that, I don't want it to get back to Swan, because there is a very real chance that if my numbers get low enough, they're going to try to get back at me.
If I have your leave to say so, then, I believe they will not be so foolish as to go directly to them. I am aware Sora seems the type, for one, but he has proven himself reasonable to me before. None of the others strike me as the type to do so unthinkingly.
[sora has earned his protag rights by keeping his mouth shut a couple times emet really thought he wouldn't.]
And in that case, should the situation you fear come to pass, we all will be well aware of this information. They would not be able to strike back without us knowing their motivation and likelihood to do so-- in a way, it will afford you a measure of protection.
[ it looks like she wants to say more, but then she sighs. ]
I'll remind you that Leaders can eavesdrop on your meetings. Anyway, even ignoring the problem of accidentally revealing your team, you can't reveal that Virid was on mine either--it's still breaking the same rule, even though he's dead. And it's already known knowledge that only your Leader can ask you to kill. So, you can't tell all of them.
[ she raises her pointer finger. ]
Not Lup, because as much as you trust her, she's going to tell her brother. So whatever number of people you decide to tell, you're going to have to automatically include a plus one with her.
[just. reaching up to rub at his face, forgetting the mask for a second.]
And Xie Lian is liable to tell Hua Cheng. If I tell Blanca separately from Lup, he may tell her anyway... and it cannot be the other two, because they might belong with Swan, and could be listened in on. I do not think Blanca is, just based off numbers he has mentioned...
[a sigh, there.]
Then either Xie Lian alone, or Lup and Blanca together, with the understanding that in either situation another will hear of it. If I make it clear they cannot share outside of that without the rules being broken, I expect they will behave themselves.
Well, Lup is probably going to tell Sora. She apparently tells him everything.
[ tiger sighs. ]
Honestly, it might be easier to tell members of our own team first. You're the only person who knows so far. Just, uh. Not Zuko. He's going to tell everyone the second he finds out.
Yeah, I think that... well. This weekend is probably going to have a lot going on, with everyone scrambling to hit their numbers. It'll at least give us more time to think on this.
