[Deela isn't weak; that's not an impression Silent-Death ever got. Fragile, yes, but so is Peony (not that they are similar, but that's a point of similarity). Deela and Peony both can throw different kinds of punches.
But if she picks up even a fraction of Lilith's confidence, that can only be good for her, the ahroun feels.]
It's better for her to rip him apart than if you do it.
[This is about as far as psychology goes, Silent-Death style, but generally it helps more if you kill your own nightmare than if others do it. And that sounds like one of those.
And she's sure that Deela, at least power-wise, could absolutely do that.]
I agree with that, but I'm not sure if she wants to yet. We've visited this scenario in a dream before; she let him live then.
Besides, it's part of my duty as a Knight of St. Christopher to kill him. I don't really care if the fairies bring him back to life; he'll remember there are things scarier than him in the darkness.
If you want to hunt him first to draw it out and drive the message really home, I'm happy to help.
[If the homids would be, she cannot tell. Rowan is incredibly human sometimes, and Ren has moments. She'd probably be fine, but Silent-Death just doesn't dare speaking on her behalf here.]
[Even if Rowan was willing, Lilith wouldn't invite them along. Ren was a possibility since she knew the Brit was friends with Deela and would probably get behind it.]
I will likely take you up on that when the time comes.
Deela does know I'll kill him and why. She knows I'm a werewolf and a Knight. She does not know there are other werewolves here. I should tell her so she doesn't assume you three hunt mages that abuse their magic like I do. That would likely be too much for her to handle without warning.
I'm not going to tell her who the other werewolves are, but she is a very intelligent woman. She will likely figure it out on her own.
They are your alpha - not mine. I am not beholden to ask them permission for anything. I am not Garou, and Deela is already aware that werewolves exist. I am not giving her names, nor will I confirm if she asks me if any of you are werewolves.
Where was this consideration when you decided to tell Peony I was a werewolf?
And I am not telling Deela that you are a werewolf, that Ren is one, or Rowan. All I am doing is telling her there are more like me but they don't hunt what I do.
You telling Peony there was a fourth werewolf wasn't the problem; the problem was you told her that I was that other werewolf.
I said she was an intelligent woman who will likely figure it out. It's possible she won't, but considering you and her know each other and your entire bearing practically screams werewolf, she will probably figure it out.
If I say nothing to her, she is still an intelligent woman that knows werewolves are real and will still probably figure it out. Only then, she will be terrified that these other werewolves will hunt her down for being a mage.
[Silent-Death might not be intelligent as such, but she's intelligent enough to recognise that this is a situation where weighing of options is required, more so than she's comfortable doing.]
I understand.
Rowan needs to decide, because they are mine and Ren's alpha. [Careful phrasing right there.]
Again, Rowan has no say over anything concerning me. I am not telling Deela that you, Ren, and Rowan are werewolves, just that other werewolves exist.
I'm simply being courteous in letting you know that I'm doing so. I'm going to let the other two know as well, but none of you have any grounds to stop me from protecting my girlfriend.
It's not my fault Deela is as intelligent and observant as she is.
I am not stopping you. And thank you for telling me.
[...should she... she's going to try.]
Speaking to Rowan is not about you. It is about the pack.
They may have no say over you, but they speak and decide for the pack.
Talking to me is not sufficient when it is about pack matters. [Technically, Veil matters are bigger than pack matters, but as there's only three of them here, pack is the biggest unit available.]
Fair enough, but I'm not going to disregard your individuality by only speaking to Rowan about these kind of things. They may make decision for your pack, but you have a voice and I'm not going to dismiss that.
[One of the markers of such, from what she has observed. Packs aren't democratic (the whole concept of that seems a bit silly to Silent-Death, like an ahroun should have the same say on matters of law and a theurge should have the same impact on battle planning? what), but there's a miles long difference between a good leader and a tyrant, and listening to those they lead and taking their input into consideration and sometimes heeding it is an important marker among them.]

Learn some etiquette, Silent!If Lilith wanted to know if Silent and Deela had sex, she'd ask. It's not something to just volunteer out of the blue, in Lilith's opinion.]
Why do you say that?

They are too [....well, really, no other word for it:] human.
But they are alpha. Ask them if they are okay with you telling Deela first.

But point taken. I'll talk to you later. [And with that, Lilith closed her tome.]
