I am much the same, but we are very different people. Your admission simply makes it is all the more impressive to me, especially as a human. You are still alive and forgiving, Lea. Most are not able to overlook such a slight.
[A DEATH SLIGHT]
Directly after Sol and Lune finish their piece, perhaps?
You are the natural orator, Lea. You have brought everyone together many times, now—as such, I propose that you speak to the group, and I will reinforce you with my own presence.
[this doesn't seem super up for debate apparently. decided. done.]
Now then. Do you have an idea of how you will phrase it?
[ ... he was already planning on it, but having her say it is a bit... ]
Uh. Sure. Guess that works out, then. [ he scratches the back of his neck ] Well, I was thinking I'd just wing it, honestly. All of my best speeches have come from me making things up as I go along.
A good idea. However, it is best to establish some base points, as well. Generally speaking, the clearer the situation is for everyone, the better. Will you stay for questioning, as well?
I would easily say that you are one of the most informed people in our group.
As you say, your natural ability to "roll with it" makes you a very easy person to speak with—and as a role-holder, as well as dating another with the ability to research people, means that you are a central hub for information.
In fact, despite what you say, I imagine you know more still that you have not let on—for you also seem to be a talented liar and secret-keeper.
[she says all of this with a smile on her face, and no bite in her voice.]
... I'm not sure if I should feel flattered, insulted, or just plain weirded out by this analysis...
[ it's like. all three of them at once, really. ]
When it comes to that particular possible ending, though, I can't say I know that much. All our info has to come from the other side, and they haven't learned anything new they could share yet.
That is fair—but it is important we all stay on the same page, so to speak, with regards to that. Any bits and pieces of information missing could create problems, or conflicts.
Trust is what we're looking to build, is it not? In which case, we should most likely be open with more than just the issues of beating the corruption.
Perhaps Emma can speak publicly about her role in Julius' killing, then. Our goal from the start has always been transparency—I believe that would certainly be a good place to begin.
No, no. Accessory. I'm sure Emma shared her activities with you, didn't she? That is, of course, what couples in dire circumstances do, after all. I additionally confirmed your non-involvement.
I plan to stress to Emma that she is open and honest with everyone. It is likely our best path forward.
Considering there's no guarantee no one will get corrupted next week, I'd rather she not risk it, but at this rate, the entire group will know without her ever having to say anything in public.
Do you think that someone "not risking" something here has saved them from corruption or passing? If so many people are truly on the brink of the knowledge, then it is best for the group dynamic, and people's belief in her, that Emma come forward with it.
This is precisely what I am speaking of when I push for open honesty, and I suspect it is what Sol would suggest, as well. How else would you recommend that trust be built, Axel?
I said yet. [ it's a little bitter, and he looks a little stone-faced at her talking about sol? for some reason? hm ] It's the same reason I'm not saying everyone should sit down together and pick a person quite yet-- or even discuss their potential preferences in public. All we'd be doing is putting a potential target on them. I think people deserve to know what we're up against. That's all I wanna put out there on Monday until we know more about how it has to go down.
milla's expression doesn't shift, but there's a clear look in her eye of someone taking notes.]
Will you force my hand to put out more than that? "Our time together is running out". How much more time do you imagine we have remaining to hide our truths in the shadows?

I don't know what telling people about my role would do, and I don't got much else to offer.

What makes you think Emma had anything to do with that?
no subject
There is no need for you to play coy, Lea. I have already confirmed it for myself. Your role as an accessory is obvious enough.
no subject
Confirmed it with who, exactly? 'Cause you might wanna double check your sources, since I had nothing to do with it.
no subject
No, no. Accessory. I'm sure Emma shared her activities with you, didn't she? That is, of course, what couples in dire circumstances do, after all. I additionally confirmed your non-involvement.

Consider my words, Axel. Because trust is what we all need, now, more than ever.
