Tattletale glanced at the bullet hole in Cherish’s chest.  “I’m suspicious it’s so routine for her that there wouldn’t even be a blip on the radar if she did try something.”

Hmm, she might be right.

And hey, this seems like something Tattle’s power could grab onto and use to tell her whether Bonesaw did try something.

Cherish leaned forward, “Are we going to do this?  Test your perceptive abilities against mine?  Some intellectual jousting?”

I wonder if Cherish knows what exactly Tattletale’s power does. For a long time, we’ve been seeing Tattletale make use of the fact that her power was ambiguous in order to mess with people, and I’ve seen no sign that she’s stopped being at least somewhat secretive about it, but there’s a chance Cherish’s power gives her some insight into what’s going on there.

Tattletale shook her head.  “She’s stalling.  She knows time’s on her side, because we need to rescue Grue sooner than later.  Longer we wait, the worse our position.”

Yeah.
