[The nervousness isn't entirely because of Silco, either. Ever since she faced the Council, every day has led her to feeling more anxious and on edge, and she knew it wasn't just because she had to bring in Silco. She had been trying to do just that back home, and didn't feel like this. It had to be something the Council did to her.]
All reports from the last time seem to fit what I experienced. I questioned Jerry for a while, though it wasn't anything different from what we already knew. He's just as tight lipped as the rest of them. I remember walking through City Hall, but as soon as I entered the Council's chambers, everything is a blur until after I was done and released.
[The nervousness was still palpable, and it made him less willing to move from his spot where he could make a 'quick' get away. This was already not feeling like a meeting he wanted to be apart of after he had this supposed information that required her to come all the way down to meet with him.]
So your experience appears to be the same as the others. What information drew you down here then if you have nothing more to add?
I promised I would update you with new developments. [Which is true. It was a new development, and possibly the start of a pattern. The second time sentencing occurred, with a month skipped in the middle. Was this going to be the new routine? To her, it's actually very valuable information.
But if it was just that, it could easily have been discussed in a message. It didn't have to be in person, and he has every right to be suspicious of this.]
This could have made for a missive, which leads me to believe you're up to something unrelated to your trip to City Hall. [From what he had come to understand and with the interactions that he had had with her, she gave more away bluntly if it was truly of importance. Her directness was something he usually enjoyed.
Now, he suspicious she was here for something else. Business in Rumpitur? No, she had come to see him specifically. Had the Council sent her for him then? Plausible.]
I have other matters to attend to, so out with your information or I'm leaving.
It's not unrelated. [Caitlyn can tell how suspicious he's getting. She's normally more direct, it's true. She was trying to lure him in and at least keep him talking first, before she came out and told him the rest of the truth. At least that way, he'd maybe listen to her. Maybe he'd hear her out and come willingly, the way Marianne did.
But that would be too easy. And she knows better than expect Silco to come quietly. She really hopes Vi is paying attention and ready if he tries to make a run for it.]
My sentencing requirement is to bring in two others for their own sentencing, and I'm afraid the Council has chosen you as well. I'm to bring you to Jerry, myself.
[He knew it. Silco's suspicions were verified the moment she talked of her sentencing, and his expression closed immediately. Peace was never truly an option was it, and the uneasy truce seemed to be a waste of time.
He shook his head then a snort of amusement left his lips.] Always the enforcer dragging down the people of Zaun, aren't you? Here to put a boot on my throat which is typical.
[He didn't run. There was no point, but he had no intention of going anywhere willingly.]
Tell Jerry to come and retrieve me himself. I have no interest dealing with you any longer.
[He turned his back on her and began to simply walk away.]
Wait-- [Caitlyn is not about to let him just walk away, and she's quick to get in his way. She doesn't put her hands on him, not yet, but she's prepared to if she has to.]
That's not-- it doesn't have to be like that. But don't you think it will be worse if Jerry comes himself? Now that I've been inside, we can think of another way to try to get information from this. A wire, recording with a charm-- something. Use this to get information.
[She may not trust him, or honestly want to work together, but she'd rather that than actually be enemies with each other here. That's why she tried to come at this in a friendly manner. She could have easily come and picked him up without question, but she didn't want that.]
[Silco stopped walking when she moved in front of his direct path, causing his blue eye to narrow dangerously.]
Oh no, Jerry and I have history, so he can come do his own dirty work. [He slipped his hands into his coat pockets.] And the idea of watching you fail does bring me an iota of pleasure.
[He knew her idea wouldn't work. There were plenty that would have tried, and if people couldn't remember, then he had no doubt there were means to shut down recordings. It was just like the Council to drive wedges, and in this case, he was perfectly fine with it coming into play.]
Get out of the way, girl. I have business to attend to.
