If you had a reason to, yes.

[he waves a hand, though--]

But it's just curiosity. You were certain of that person leaving, and said before you didn't want to see him out of the game yet. You can see why one might wonder.

[selfimmolates]

... I'm honestly a little surprised you don't know, unless you're playing dumb right now.

[ritualization]

I did tell you before I have fairly few confirmations. My focus has been on keeping roughly... four or five different people from death, at least.

[people hand him info but not their alignments, okay.]

It's not what I'd have assumed of you, no, which was another reason to check.

[...]

I've been told it was Sasuke. Probably shouldn't tell anyone I told you that, though.

Then I suppose he got what was coming to him, having it passed on to him like that.

[there you go, like the one time he'll be directly unkind about a person.]

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, pretty much.

[ritualization]

[thanks, kid, you are a bro.]

Mm, while we're sort of still on the subject-- I wanted to thank you for speaking with Piety before, as well. He let me know you two met.

[selfimmolates]

... It's nothing. I'm glad he wasn't wrong about his final follower sticking with him.

[ritualization]

I'm more worried about that one being forced to defect than I am about them doing it on their own.

-he mentioned he told you about the agreement he's made, as well.

[selfimmolates]

With Cunning?

[ritualization]

Yes.

I suppose it's a reasonable enough move to make, much as I wish he'd focus more on his current position.

[piety literally never stops being concerning.]

[selfimmolates]

I doubt that's going to happen.

[ritualization]

... I know. And his follower isn't exactly good at this, either, so I've told them to leave things to me, but-

[he exhales a heavier breath, there. reasons ishi is tired, #53.]

I'll just have to convince someone proactive enough to help. He's at least not out of this yet.

[selfimmolates]

Piety needs to stay in this competition for as long as possible.

... Just don't overextend yourself.
