Attention subjects of Region 06: Luceti. A traitor to the Malnosso organization, known to you as Catherine, resides still in your enclosure after earlier attempts to detain him. Report his location so that he may be detained and brought to justice to account for his crimes.

Failure to comply will carry its own consequences. You have six days to comply.

((ooc: The Malnosso will not be replying to his. Characters are free to discuss among themselves in the post.))

[A low, breathless laugh.]

Ahaha...

[Oh, if this Forgemaster could find where 'Catherine' - or Bil - were being held, he'd want to squeeze him of every bit of valuable information he had. There would be no sense in killing him despite how strong his desire to inconvenience the Malnosso as soon as possible. After all, if he had waited three years to exact his revenge against Hector as to strike when the man stood to lose the most, he could bide his time until it was in his power to wound them viciously. To make them hurt. A fine chance would come eventually. This Catherine had some value.

The Malnosso's attempt at a threat means nothing to him; whatever the consequences, he would be ready, trident keen, and his hunger for vengeance keener still.

With cool amusement, he drawls:]

Oh, how I have waited day and night to hear from you once more... How cruel of you to have had me longing, and for something so very disappointing. I find your message to be terribly impersonal. But... 'tis appropriate of the cowards you are, wouldn't you agree?

[Having had a look at the reactions of others, he doesn't anticipate an answer from their captors. But, still, how could he resist voicing his thoughts?

He ends his message with a soft laugh. As to whether or not he'll respond to others who may happen to prod him, it's hard to say.]

I would...agree. The Malnosso are rarely "personal"...but when they are, it is not a good thing.

But at times like these, we must be prepared for anything.

You, especially. [Low-blow after their sparring session? Probably. But it wouldn't matter much to him if Saleh were offended.]

I will be.

[Offended? Not really.]

Don't underestimate them. You never know what they're capable of.

Certain others would do well to consider these words.

You would do well to consider those words yourself, Isaac. And also consider this: Your arrogance will be the first step leading to your downfall.

[Having anticipated a response similar to this, Isaac irreverently rolls his eyes a little.]

...Oh. Is that all?

[The question of, Or will you further enlighten me, is unstated but implied.]

[Saleh could enlighten him some more, but...that would be talking too much. He'll let experience be the teacher from here on.]

There is more, but...I wonder if words would be wasted at this point.

You are welcome to wonder all you please. [The verbal equivalent of an eye roll.] Perhaps you will learn something, eventually. Now if you will excuse me- -

[He shuts his journal without further remark.]
