We aren't to the point of any of that yet; we don't even have permission to go, it's all still theoretical. I don't know if anyone else is going to ask any of those questions or any others, which is part of the reason I've been thinking about being involved, because those are important things to be worrying about.

I know. I'm not doing it out of a sense of obligation, or at least not primarily.
[There might be a little of that, especially when it comes to feeling like he could be useful, but doing so for the sake others is only a small part of his overall more selfish motives. And although he initially thinks about not saying anything more, he finally also adds something more honest than he usually ever is.]

Okay. Just in case no one's said it, this isn't all on you, either. But I don't think I can go back. I don't think I can go with you.
Someone was mad about the info including the names of the cultist and her brother that escaped with the first group, and a new arrival was insulting everyone who voted against executing the other cultists. So nothing serious, just annoying.
I doubt it. Probably a classic case of being a lot bolder behind text--magical or otherwise--than they would dare be face to face, and it's not like either of them knows anything about me anyway. So don't worry, it should be fine.

Though speaking of handling things, I may start a fight if people who weren't even here at the time keep making judgements.
