[For the first time in longer than he’d like to admit, Koby actually laughs, at Alicent’s brief dismissal of Set. It sends a throb of pain through his skull, but it’s worth it. Privately he wonders what Alicent would make of people he’s known at home – Garp and his bluster, Morgan and his rage, Alvida and her mindless violence. The thought of her dismissing that last one, especially, with such brief, unconcerned words is especially gratifying.]

I don’t think any of us are safe from that, unfortunately – though it seems we’ll get a brief reprieve, since he’s joining everyone in prison. I don’t imagine they’ll stay there very long, though.

I don’t know Jem well, but I did back up Tim’s accusation of Danny, which could either upset him or make him happy. I have no idea which, he’s hard to predict. Maybe I’ll try talking to him when I’m visiting Louis. [Absolutely terrible idea, thanks, Koby.]

Alexei has spoken with both me and Nami, and told us he isn’t upset. Daniil I don’t think will ever want to speak to me again, but
That’s his right.
Hawk either. But both of those are my fault, not my crew’s.

I don’t think Armand or Lestat will retaliate, even though we named Louis - I’ve spoken with them both. Louis doesn’t blame us either. [It’d be easier if he did. Koby knows how to handle anger, rage, blind hatred. He doesn’t know what to do with kindness, still.]

Naming Lauralae upset a couple people, but I think the fact that Usopp’s visions have been proven correct will keep them from retaliating. He’s been a good speaker in all this, I’m actually very impressed. It’s obvious how much naming people is hurting him, so the reaction hasn’t been TOO angry.

I know I’m forgetting people, lots of them, but I think...I think that’s it.

[ that all sounds — manageable, in truth. if they make it out of this, what lies ahead seems less daunting than what they’ve endured to date. ]

I do not think that wise. Johnson seems to enjoy the attention. Misbehaving boys mislike being left alone most of all.

[ she would know, when her sons have been acting up for attention from day one. ]

Daniil has a good heart. He’ll not be able to hold onto his anger evermore. And Hawk is a man grown, with much to apologise for, besides.

We shall see what we learn through Portia’s affair at the end of the week and pray that there are no more deaths before that. Until then, try not to linger on these things.
