When the group had left the room, I could hear noises downstairs, as they moved about the house. Or maybe it was Grue, checking his new place. I was left alone with Coil and Dinah.
The crux of the matter.
I wasn’t sure I liked that our group was being split up like this. The timing seemed bad. I’d sort of been hoping I could repair the divide, and that would be hard if we were each in our own territories, doing our own things.
Ah, yeah, that’s true. I’m not sure quite how much Coil knows about the falling out between Taylor and the other Undersiders – in his Interlude, he seemed not to know much of the details, though that might’ve changed since then – but yes, this comes at a bad time for Taylor whether he thought of that or not.
I’d cross that bridge when I came to it.
“I heard about the incident at the hospital, following the Endbringer attack.”
Ahh, yeah. I guess that would be why he wanted to talk to Taylor too.
I nodded.
“Tattletale told me that you know I was fully informed about your true nature.”
This sentence could work coming from either of them, but I’m pretty sure it’s still Coil talking.
“Yeah.”
“Did she explain how?”
Ah, hm. He’s asking whether Tattle told her about his power, but is that because he wants to check Tattle’s loyalty, or because he actually wanted to tell her himself?
I shook my head. She’d told me about his power in confidence.
As he had done to Tattle. She wasn’t supposed to tell it to anyone else.
“Well, I suppose I may share that detail at some point in the future. You understand my desire to keep certain things private?”
Of course.
“Yeah, no. I get it. It makes sense, it’s smart.”
Especially in a ‘verse where knowledge is power is a recurring theme.
