jawahir's comment is soft, careful. it is a threat despite the sombre quality of it. the grin they hold upon their sleek, thin face is the kind satsu would expect from a thief, and suits the creature.

the greater threat came after. it was enough to force satsu in to silence for a moment, withdrawing in to herself. it was cruel. he need not know. she hastened to say.

wanting to demand silence and forgiveness, but not deserving either.

i will... show you what we have found. you will not tell him anything, satsu drawls this carefully, knowing that if she is not careful the little thief will skew things to their advantage. and should he find out, you will be cast from the highest cliff to die.

a deal; that's what the vermin had been waiting for, was it not? there was time for jawahir to make their choice, while satsu steeped in self-loathing.
