i know we haven't really talked before this, but you seem like one of the only people in hearts who isn't totally flying blind

people are starting to accuse each other with, like, zero evidence
that ren girl is going insane on my entire team, and i think it's because someone brought up her buddy devon as a potential wolf
she's covering for him

Thank you. I’m trying not to.

She certainly has an aggressive streak. Do you believe her to be drawing fire? Or, indeed, to be a threat to yourself? As you say, we do not know each other well, but I believe you’re dear to my pupil Dom. I would see you protected, if I could.

(Devon is of Saber’s world, though that could mean little, when Cellar is as well and a far kinder soul, but the former seem far closer than the latter, given the “leak.”)

i'm still not even totally sure which one of us she's accusing. she's just pointing fingers at all of us and seeing what happens. so yeah, in my opinion she's a threat

i love dom! he's one of my best friends :) i have his back, don't worry

and i don't want to upset cellar, but that devon is a problem. weird that now there's two people causing a scene to take eyes off him, right??

Good, I’ve redirected conversations from him where I can. Of us witches and wizards, I wouldn’t suspect him.

[ instead he is looking directly at august. ]

Quite. It’s a possible smokescreen tactic, similar to what Jem has undertaken on behalf of Danny within and outwith the Hearts chat.

I can keep an eye on Devon, but I don’t believe he’ll outmatch Johnson, by the end of voting.

Do you know anything else about Ren’s capabilities? I’m told she has superior strength.

good, he deserves people in his corner [ dude is wigging out ]

i don't know anything about what ren can do, just that she's loud and stupid 🙄

i'll be straight with you though. the yellowjackets are gonna vote devon. obviously there's no pressure on you to vote with us but every vote for him is one against someone who's getting railroaded for something he can't help, like armand

[ for boyfriend reasons, i am legally unable to comment on armand ]

That’s good to know and understandable, besides. I do worry that your votes will draw fire, however, if he is a wolf and weathers the night’s council.

You and Shauna are Hearts, correct? With Jackie and Natalie in Diamonds. Misty in Spades.

[ thinking. ]

I’m going to ask you something, and I’m going to do it because I may know of a way to protect you. Or perhaps one of your own.

i know it's a risk

okay, go ahead

I'm told the rumour about a Diamond leaving Castiel's scene emerged from within our team. Are you aware of the source?

Or, indeed, the source within the Clubs who has identified a Diamond as the culprit in Giles' murder.

I believe them to be role holders and, therefore, the most likely to be targeted by the Wolves, given how swiftly their intelligence has narrowed our searches.

[ hm... a pause, and then: ]

i know who it is on the hearts team. not clubs.

All right.
You may wish to weigh this carefully or, indeed, to speak with Dom about whether or not you should trust me.

It is my intent to protect the one who has spoken up. I have the means to do so. Do you understand?

if you're cool with dom you're cool with me

i get it.
i'm the source. you probably guessed that.

I guessed it was someone well-connected, else the information wouldn’t have travelled swiftly, so you made the shortlist.

And now you needn’t worry about the wolves, Melissa.
I trust I’ll be excused from finding you another birthday gift?

i've obviously been trying to keep it quiet but that seems impossible now

you're definitely excused :)

It shall still be our secret.

[ regardless of the vote, the outcome of this gamble, the trouble amongst their numbers, gale had made a promise. ]
