Tattletale only offered an apologetic half-smile and a shrug to that.
I tried to help her out. “Look, we do know that Coil is smart, he’s proud, and he’s at his best when he’s managing his enterprise.
I suppose so.
Being cooped up, he’d be hit hard in all three areas. Limited tools to work with, limited access to his people, and he’d be less powerful in a way that everyone would be aware of.”
Ah, yeah, that’s true. By putting himself on the Undertravelers’ side, he’d just needlessly put himself in the same awkward spot as them, while also weakening his position even more.
“That doesn’t excuse how thoroughly he just screwed us, without even trying to help us out.”
Fair. He did seem to actively argue in favor of the unfair terms, even.
I shook my head. “I don’t think he’s completely screwed us over. We know Coil’s got at least one undercover agent, Trainwreck-“
…who is also on the other side.
That actually weakens my argument about him feeding them information. He could feed them information he himself got from his undercover agents, though by being in there himself, he’ll be privy to stuff that’s only between the leaders.
Tattletale interrupted to say, “He’s got a whole lot more than one.”
Yeah.
