[rita's... a little hesitant.]

He's a decent guy. And we know for a fact that he hasn't killed anyone up to this week. And he'd be a valuable asset to have on our side.

So... yeah, Caleb's a good choice.

But I feel like I should bring something up. I've been charting out the likely activities of those killers who work in pairs. Byleth and her allies. If my hypothesis is correct, they may have been able to recruit one new member since last week, and we have no idea who that is.

It's not especially likely that they would choose Caleb, but... it could be anyone. We should remember that.

[disreguarded]

It could be anybody, yeah. And that's fair. I want to protect you guys best I can, but look - I don't know how much I can keep from Caleb.

He knows me better than anybody else. So either you're gonna have to keep me in the dark, or.

[overlimit]

[hesitant, but...]

...True. I don't really want you stuck in the position of having to keep secrets from someone you're close with.

[glancing at yamato, this situation's kind of familiar...]

[disreguarded]

He's gonna be real fucking pissed as is, mostly because I didn't ask him for help.

[overlimit]

Yeah, good luck with that. I'd be pissed, too.

[disreguarded]

[she MAKES A FACE and reaches to ruffle rita's hair in her face. she's expecting retribution but you ASKED FOR THIS]

[overlimit]

Gah!! Stop that!

[slapping her hand!]

[ghoststrums]

... That sounds familiar.

[ teasing a little even though all his emotions are leaking out AAAAAAAAAAAAAA ]

[overlimit]

Yeah, well, I just can't trust a bunch of sentimental jerks to keep a secret like this!

[you dorks and your friendships! hmph.]

[ghoststrums]

[ huffs a bit in laughter ]

Right, right.

[ghoststrums]

... Then it might be for the best to share only the same names that group potentially knows by now, right? Yours or mine. That way we're not spilling anything new.

[overlimit]

So we leave out the full number of members, and the names of the two members who haven't been outed yet.

[rita considers that... and nods.]

I'm good with that.

[ghoststrums]

Right. I'll go with Beau to make sure we don't get punished, and we'll share what's needed. If we're lucky, maybe Caleb has heard something about the other roles, too.

[ he DOUBTS IT but god let them find non-murderers ]

[overlimit]

I'll leave that to you, then.
