She had her thumbs hooked into her belt, her shoulders hunched forward a little, where she leaned against the wall. She didn’t look happy.
Yeah, she seems to have been hit hard by the guilt here. But is it hard enough that she’ll want to do something about it personally?
When she met my eyes, she gave a little shake of her head.
Apparently not.
“Coil’s not stupid,” Tattletale told me, “He knows what he just did, he had every reason to suspect that one or two people in our group might find his methods distasteful. He calculated this. He’s testing us, making sure we’ll stick around when it’s time to make the hard calls.”
Hm. Sounds like all the more reason to leave, honestly.
But the problem is that other than morals, the Undersiders have nothing to gain from leaving, and several things to lose.
“If this is a test,” I spoke, feeling my heart sink, “I think I fail.”
“Don’t say that,” Tattletale spoke. “Grue’s right, we need to discuss this as a team.”
Damn. Taylor just suggested leaving the team over this. This schism could be interesting.
Also, isn’t discussing this as a team what you’re already doing?
“Discuss what? Whether to stay with Coil?”
“Yeah,” the word was a half-sigh coming out of her mouth.
Grue for one has made his position clear.
“That you guys even think it’s negotiable is pretty fucked up,” I replied. The anger and betrayal I was feeling made my tone harsher, harder.
Taylor’s beginning to slide back towards her opinions of the Undersiders from Insinuation.
