Fea walked over and responded to Sai.
"I think that we should band-wagon Saucie. I mean... SpaM. See, it's tradition for me to fight for his early death. You can't break tradition, right? But my reasoning is better than that which I outwardly display: He's very clever. He could write us into a corner easily and we'd never know. If he's a wolf, we're not going to know it until it's too late. He'll never appear as anything but innocent... the only sure way to know is if he's killed, and we'd want that early since if he's lupine and we kill him late, he'll have had plenty of time to lay traps and manipulate our thoughts to where he wants them."
Alli was annoyed to realize that she agreed with Fea again. She spoke up.
"Fea's got a bit of a point. What we really need to know though, is if there's a Seer amongst us. I mean... I'm sure there's a Seer amongst--" she waved her arms to convey that she meant everybody in the village, "us, but if there's a Seer amongst us" Now she just meant the women present "then we could form a group as... wait... that'd be a bad idea. It would work perfectly if we were all innocent... but odds are, and knowing my luck, at least one of us is just asking to be killed."
"Kill me." laughed Fea.
"Shut it." snapped Alli.
Fea stuck out her tongue and Alli flipped her off. Fea laughed at her. Alli glared and considered smacking her. Fea was too irreverant for her liking. It was like she wasn't afraid of what anybody thought. That was good sometimes, but right now, people's thoughts dictated survival. Fea was being really stupid. Maybe she was just really tired.
"Fea, go to bed." Alli ordered. Surprisingly enough, Fea agreed. Sai and Panakeia (and a slightly nervous CoD that kept eying the water he was in dubiously) watched the argument curiously.
"Okay... good idea... I think I'm going to go take a nap now. I skipped the class that my alter-ego was supposed to go to for that purpose. I suppose I should carry it out."
With that, she disappeared into her cottage and within moments, the village could hear her muttering in her sleep.
