unfastens: (we could be free)

[ The question has him contemplative for a moment. When he'd first read her message, his immediate instinct had been to tell them, yes; he can't deny he'd felt panic as his mind conjured up all the worst possible outcomes of this situation. In those cases, it would be prudent to let them know at once. It wouldn't do for half their team to be caught off-guard by Trish turning against them or Doppio trying to push the vague boundaries they have now. But Bruno didn't become capo by making rash decisions. After speaking with her now, he feels less frazzled. Yes, it was a stupid thing that she did, by his measure - but she seems to be listening to what he says and understanding, and that gives him hope that this "deal" won't be used against her. (Or the rest of them. But especially her.)

He shakes his head. ]


Nothing. [ he folds his hands together, looking up at her quite seriously. ] You're smart, and I believe you understand the situation a little better after speaking with me. I trust you not to make things worse.

[ because this isn't a betrayal - just a disappointment. If she takes this personally and flees to Doppio again to do more dealings behind their backs, then things will be different... but he doesn't think she will. As he said: he trusts her. ]

If you listen to what I said, I won't get more involved than this. When or if you want to tell them, that's your mess to clean up.
