'Why did you give her the head' Ava asked.
It was a useless thing handing her the head.
Keeping it and keeping my name out of it would have been best.
If I wanted to sell anything, Pilmo had no lack of enemies that would pay for her head.
'Because I killed Pilmo' I reply flatly.
Pilmo offers me not just resources and information, but a scapegoat as well.
With her death a hole will need to be filled and the ensuing chaos among the Jun will wash away any trace of me.
Giving her head to anyone else would be inviting more trouble then it's worth.
And now Alia will be wary of me.
I believe she has it in for me and this little stunt should buy me some time.
'What makes you think that'? Ava asked.
'Because I am weak, if I was strong I could brush her off, go to the association and take what I want and she wouldn't even know it'.
'Since I am weak I must project strength in the hopes it buys me enough time to get stronger'.
'Your not weak' Ava replied.
