[Lenka lets Newt ramble -- he's still thinking through possible courses of action, because while the ones he's come up with first of all are viable regardless of whether or not Newt gets specifically targeted, they could backfire when it comes to protecting the real Reapers. The whole thing is going to need maneuvering depending on how Magnus and Taako play it.

He's still kind of, sort of of the mind that he should see what they have to say about everything they're dealing with right now. The Game. The Reapers. The... sacrifices.

Newt is doing a lot of back and side-pedaling in the meantime, though, so he finally shakes his head.]

I think we can trust that they want to do the right thing. I just don't think this is the right thing. Not for the rest of the Game.

If it were to come out, they'd lose trust, too. I don't think any of us want that.

[They're all already divided enough as it is. He wants to be able to work with both Newt and Magnus and Taako -- they'd be able to do better together, he's pretty sure, at least at protecting the remaining Reapers. They can't mess this up.

He does accept the... pile of ripcoins, though, looking dubious about it. It might in fact be safer with him, if pickpockets was what they were worried about, but...]

Assassin... [He's... honestly worried about the guy, has been for a while. He doesn't want anything to happen to him or the people he keeps threatening; he's pretty sure it would make Mary cry if they had to go after him at some point.] You really need to be careful. You and Hermann can stay with me and Mary, if you want.

[They're not really like, staying anywhere, but the mattress store is big and useful and all.]
