No, I don't plan on it. We may have to kill some people to cover ourselves, but the hope is for a smaller amount of bloodshed. What the Shuck knows... it's hard to say. But I'm Death by Mercy, kind of goes against my nature to blatantly murder people if it isn't somehow mercy.
[Bellamy abruptly realizes he's still holding the kitten when its paws dig into his arm. He scowls down at it, but it just burrows into the crook of his elbow.]
[He frowns. He's not stupid enough to think a plan like this can go off without any death - but minimal still sounds better than all.]
I don't trust him with it, the Shuck, not with how furious and determined he was to kill everyone. Seems like he's given up on us, and though I can't say I blame him either, I'm not interested in killing for him, just like I'm not interested in killing for the courts.
[He - mostly - trusted Aly, as sneaky and suspicious as she could be at the same time. But she always felt more approachable than most other people in power in this world.]
Breaking and entering's always a challenge. [He says it lightly, even if it's not meant to be taken lightly at all.]
Who are they, anyway? And I'm not - I can't promise myself to this. Not unless you can promise me that no one else'll know. Too many friends in high ranking court places, and I don't want to put them in any danger.
It's not that I thought you were before either. [He makes to run a hand through his hair and startles the kitten.] But things've obviously gotten even more intense.
This especially, I can't have anyone else knowing. [A beat. He trusts John at his word, and though he's still cautious, it's enough to settle him.] I'll do what I can for now, but I'm leaving my option to bail open, especially if it threatens my sister or Clarke.

How long's this plan been in motion?
action;
[ Well. ]
-until she left. But it's solid.
action;
How do you plan on actually stealing them?
action;
[ because that's not scary at all ]
action;
[He's not the best mage, and he prefers not relying on it - but there are a lot of things about this plan he's pretty interested in.]
[He doesn't seem nearly as spooked by that as he probably should be though.] Like places where they hide away old shards?
action;
[ John grins, nods. ]
Exactly.
action;
Is it bad if it all sounds like too good a plan to be true? [As 'good' a plan as it can qualify as, at any rate.]
[He hesitates for a second, but he needs to ask.] If I wanted to help, what could I do?
action;
[ But no, he understands a healthy dose of pessimism. ]
Sign up for one of the missions we're offering; I know your skills but the other two don't. We'll go from there.

I can promise we're not going to go around telling people you're involved, Bellamy.

You need me to do anything else in the meantime? [You know, regular Red Hand business, but mostly in the sense of what John himself might need.]
action;
[ Because of course John doesn't get that subtext. ]
action;
I've been looking into shards already, last month and this one coming. As soon as I hear back from the people I'm sending out, I'll pass it along.
[A beat.] I don't spend a lot of time in Caer Scima, that might be a little harder.
action;
[ John scratches at the back of his neck. ]
action;
[Teasing. He swears.]
I'll keep you posted, on anything else too.
action;
[ A snort. ]
Thanks, Bellamy.
[ And he means that. ]
action;
[Dry:] Just trying to save the world like everyone else.
action;
[ How was this man ever Seelie. ]

[It's ok, sometimes Bellamy doesn't feel like a people either.]
