How long had he gone quiet just staring? The weather was starting to get worse again. It seemed like a narrative device. The rain was a metaphor for bad things coming. Or maybe it meant good things coming? But probably not. They'd just found a dead body. Again. They were talking about comparing notes...maybe showing his note wouldn't be so bad. And if it solved whatever crazy thing was going on, it'd be worth it. Even if it was uncomfortable. Not that he could take the paper note out right now anyway with the rain coming down like this. As the others discussed splitting up, Brandon glanced around the group. It seemed he'd be going with Millicent, the one he trusted the most. That was good. He looked around the group. Could a blackmailer and a killer really be among them? He nodded in agreement as they mentioned him going with Millicent. He'd been with her most of time so far, she seemed trustworthy. He had not yet been murdered, and she showed very few signs of being a secret mermaid. But the others...could he trust them? Did he even have a choice? Maybe he needed to stop doubting everyone and everything all the time. Which was, in his defense probably a reasonable reaction having just seen two dead bodies in such a short amount of time, but that didn't mean it was the best reaction. He took a deep breath. He'd trust them, like he trusted Millicent and Felix and Superfetch, and if that got him killed...well, he wouldn't be alive to regret it anyway. Brendan nodded at Sam. [color=910A1C] "That makes sense. I can go with Millicent to talk to Elenore again. We'll let you know what we figure out whenever we run into you...where are the rest of you gonna go...?" [/color] Brendan tried to look up through the rain pelting down. All he could think about now was how cold he was. He tried to focus.
