He did. Picked the one that can cure illness, of course. Told me he was sorry he couldn't catch Claude in time.

[Though whether Claude needed it was another matter.]

...I said to him not to spread it around too much. That kind of thing can put a target on your back. I hope to god I wasn't right.

[Yeah...yeah........]

Much too kind. [A beat.] Granted, he'd already spilled to a fair few folks. Off the top of my head: Uruha and Saber, Lucas, Anders and Shadowheart. And I believe JQ and Bas know now, but I don't know if they were aware before today.

Something to keep in mind. Not that it's a definitive motive. Especially since motive barely seems to matter most of the time.

[And it's not a list he likes. That's the other thing about dwindling numbers. Your suspects become as dear as your victims, and pointing fingers gets harder and harder to do.]
