[More than anything, he wants to tell them that he can defend himself. Focus on finding a means to escape—focus on something that won't end with heaps of bodies lain at his feet again. There is no one here he counts dear; that means all his closest advisers will be elsewhere.

Oberin sighs.]

I agree with Laurence. We may be able to bait them into the trap if someone is able to act as decoy. I would volunteer to double-bluff, but that would put all of us at risk.

No. [Mori walks forward slowly, and speaks with glinting authority. She doesn't want to hear arguments about this, least of all from Rhadimenthys—who she points at sharply.] You, Flag, will stay hidden, and so will they. I will act as the decoy.

[Because she can. Because she's fast, and can fight herself out of any corner. Because she can't ever be cornered, and she shows them, turning around and walking to the nearest wall and passing straight through.

She will be the decoy, because she will keep Rhad safe. Mori passes back through the wall, demonstration made, and dips her head.]

Stay safe, and I will lead our enemies to the trap. I won't be caught. I won't be killed.

[She doesn't look at Rhad. She doesn't want to see what they think.]
