[ He thinks, for a moment — of the Vastaya, the Vesani. A few different versions of what he thinks is ultimately a single answer.

Well. Simplest is best. ]

congratulations! you are correct!
but you never said exactly what my turn had to be so i'll ask another question

are you comfortable?

[powerhungry]

In general, or with something in particular?

[endow]

currently

with the wolves, the accusations, the finger pointing.
are you comfortable during this experience?

[powerhungry]

[ There's a funny (citation needed) answer here, which is not to give one and force her to come to her own conclusion again, but: ]

I can sit still in a briar patch without enjoying the prick of its thorns.

Are you?

[endow]

a man who refuses to reveal a vulnerability is a guilty man

i am making myself comfortable!
you see, i'm new, and i don't have the connections others have, but i do have my wits
there are wolves 🐺 in my henhouse 🐣 [misty] and i don't do well with wolves

[powerhungry]

[ The bluff makes him laugh — provocation to try to force him into defending himself, when his vulnerability is visible to anyone with eyes to see — like a puppy nipping at his heels. If she hasn't figured it out yet, he's not going to lead her to it. To her. ]

I'd wager none of us do, at least by the parameters currently set for us.

And what is it you want with me? More down for your bedding?

[endow]

[she's already behind the scenes with something blue in her mouth, but she hasn't put two and two together yet.]

bedding would be nice
information, too!

i don't mind getting honey on my fingers if i have somewhere to clean them

[powerhungry]

Are you looking for the willing tongue, then, or the hive?

[endow]

the hive
but i'll take the tongue and reward it with something tasty

[powerhungry]

[ hm x2. ]

Alright. Give me your honey. I'll bring whichever flies I lure to you.

[endow]

[excellent]

good! a drop of honey for your tongue:
i can lure a spying eye 👁️ somewhere else. it was easy for me to find you
what if someone else has the same idea? what if someone wants you dead?
i'll handle them if you hear whispers.

at the moment my target is misty
but i don't think she killed anyone! she's another thorn in everyone's side, so i want her out of the way

[powerhungry]

[ If someone wanted me dead, he thinks idly, it'd hardly be the first time. But an offer's an offer — even better when he knows wheels are already in motion — and he's not so much of a fool as to turn it down. ]

How very sweet.

[ Does he mean her offer? Her request? ]

I'll do what I can.

[endow]
