[for what it's worth, she's not actually mad at laudna. couldn't stay mad without being a hypocrite, now that the anxiety and stress of today's trial has passed. there's only grief and exhaustion left now.]

... Hey. [tiredly.] Kate's partner. Do you know if they're going to be okay?

[it's alright if she was. killing a child is a horrible, horrible thing.]

Yes. They will. They knew this was coming, too.

[it is. but asa's stance on mercy killing the afflicted is pretty clear by now. at least there's a sense of relief knowing the partner will be okay, though.

she sighs.]

Good. That's really good to know.

...Yes. We shouldn't lose anyone tomorrow besides the obvious.

[a nod. and as much as she hates to say it, the feeling coming through the emotion share:]

We need to pace ourselves, anyway. It's really a miracle that the cult hasn't taken a closer look at things already.

...Yes. But we can't exactly lose Overseers, either. So I don't know what to do about it.

I know. It's not like I think you were wrong for doing something about it.

When I asked Pestilence about, um, Camille. [a little awkwardly...] She said taking care of them in public during the week or on a Thursday would be best for keeping the cult from noticing there are times when they can't see us. So if something else happens, and we can confirm who else is afflicted... We should try to deal with around that schedule, when the veil isn't up.

I think that would be best, too. It saves them from having to wake up during the night, too.
