Zahi is?

[She probably shouldn't be so surprised. She's always thought he was clever. It's just... she thought he was on their side. He helped them find the cure for the plague. He teased her about Aoi. Zuko even looks hurt for a second before she shakes her head and tries to push on.]

Then he's lied to the people he's brought here, too. He didn't even tell them his real name.

Is he even after the same thing they are? They're the ones talking about raising the dead.

[twinked_witch]

[... So, Zuko, how's your awareness right now? Because Megaera's, not so much by intent as just how she's approaching, coming up from behind you.]

I'm not sure if he is or not. I just know... Some of these people knew about that one core. The corrupted one.

So, yeah. You're home, but not free yet.

It's a thing.

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko is staying alert for anything that sounds like that argument moving into fighting. Zahi might be the bad guy here, but if he attacks Colin, she still kinda wants to see that. She hears Megaera coming and turns to look at her.]

The corrupted core? Why would that even come up? [Even if they were the ones who'd sabotaged it, that's not the kind of thing you confess to people you want to welcome you.

I mean, unless you're Zuko, but these people are not Zuko.]

[twinked_witch]

I don't think most of them know about the 'corrupted' part...

[daughterofursa]

Wait.

Do they know about the core from the quarry? They're not thinking of using that, and the corrupted core... We can't finish the Bastion with that.

[No one's told her about the core the strangers brought along yet.]

[hellpyre]

They brought "something" with them. A bargaining chip, or so they claimed. Twenty shards says it's a core, and maybe not even one we can actually use. [She wasn't kidding when she said that they were in the shit already... The look Zuko gave at mentioning Zahi's true identity doesn't escape her, though she says nothing to it. She feels the same way, hurt at his betrayal after so long pretending to be friends with them all. It was easy to bypass the hurt and go straight in to anger, though, knowing that now they were going to have to do everything they could to prevent him from screwing everything up even more. She would have said more, if Zulf's bellowing voice hadn't drawn her attention. She moved out from the doorway of the distillery kitchen, scowling worriedly at the gathering happening out there. The work that had been going towards welcoming their unwelcome guests had all but stopped as well.] Fuck... this can't be good...

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko's frown deepens, her brow furrowing. Yeah, that definitely sounds like the argument escalating. To think she thought Zulf was mute when they first met.]

I'm going back out there.

[She'll look between Rin and Megaera in case they have any last thing she ought to be filled in on, but then she's headed for the commotion.]

[hellpyre]

[Nope. Nothing else helpful coming from Rin. Just a nod.]

I'm goin', too.

[twinked_witch]

... When you step out that door, know that I'm going to be at your back, but every tool at my disposal's potentially out. It's high time I embrace what being a watcher on the wall really means.

We can moralize after this is done, okay?
