I thought that was because of his injuries. [ he lost an arm and fell through a banister. kinda traumatic. ] But if you're worried about it, we could try making a note beforehand and keeping it somewhere safe.
...Hunter, then. Mammon wants to help, too, but maybe we should try to keep it to as few people as we can, for now.
[ the less who know, the less murder will happen, the better chance they have to save meltryllis and the rest, right? ]
[agni's instinct for secrecy is strong. then again, that may not always have been the best move—perhaps if he had known about saha earlier, and revealed everything before, the man would still be alive.]
... If you think they can be trusted. Though they too must be able to accept the possibility that Meltryllis might not be saved.
I think Mammon could accept it, at least. I'm more worried about him telling someone he shouldn't.
[ said neutrally, because she adores him but he can be kind of a loudmouth sometimes? ]
Hunter... I don't know. But I believe he's willing to try to help her, if there is any of chance of it - or to at least keep her from bringing harm to others. He wants to help.
... Mammon doesn't seem like the type to think before he opens his mouth, no.
[sorry mammon]
Hunter's a smart kid... Even if we don't do it ourselves, the inevitable result is that if this fails, Meltryllis will have to be voted for anyway. I think he'd understand that, even if he didn't like it.
Though it may be better if we don't bring that part up, unless asked.
[...]
Either way, we'd have to check to see if we can get anything to restrain Meltryllis first. It's also important that she doesn't realize our intentions until we're confident we can succeed.
So we keep it quiet from anyone we can't trust to do what may have to be done.
[ she says it so easily, but even brilith knows it isn't that simple. she hates keeping secrets... but the less people who get hurt from this, the better. ]
[ agni's right, and it sends a flash of guilt through her heart. ]
We... discussed the possibility, last night. I don't think he'd get in the way if we really can't help her, but it may be easier on him to know that we're trying to find other options before resorting back to execution.
[ so she nods. though she has no particular desire to speak with the girls herself, this is a cause worth the unease it brings. ]
Then I'll ask, and I'll tell you their answer as soon as I have it.

...Before the doors lock again. If we can't find another solution, Agni... please.
And I won't tell anyone who it was, if you think I shouldn't. But we may need their help, if we're going to try to save her alive somehow.

If you're okay with asking for their help, I am as well.

The best way is to ask the girls, isn't it?
no subject
[he nods.]
Yes. Ask them first if there's any means of restraining the monster.

Thank you, Agni.
