[It's probably not especially difficult to guess some of these symptoms after three weeks and at least one treasure chest adventure directly with A-Qing.
His daemon rises up in a whisper of waves and noses a little closer in the no-man's-land in between, though Suigetsu himself merely continues to watch, taking things in.]
Hmph. If they could do what they said? Yeah, it would be worth it. There's somebody I want out of my way. [...] Out of our way. My team, the real one. If it was just me I'd take him out and that would be the end of it.
People are a pain, you know that?
[It's both thoughtful and kind of sardonic, but at the same time there's something solid wound through it; something like truth. He waves it away, reflexive even if it's dark and also she can't see.]
What about you? Was that worth it, what you did at the end there?
[Alisaie may not be able to see him, but he'll see her lose her casual bearing as Naito noses a little closer, shifting instead so that she can move if necessary. Taf comes forward in his little cat form, hissing a warning at Suigetsu's daemon--stay back.]
[It's kind of funny, actually. The shark does a little loop, circling closer and then farther away, not particularly threatening but probably much more messing around. Daemon and master are the same as always, it seems.
Suigetsu snickers briefly.]
Why would I do that. Not like I've gotta deal with it; you're just messing up on your own time.
[It's the same as always, but at the same time a side of Suigetsu she hasn't seen before, a marked difference from the cheerful, laughing person he'd shown the rest of him. She's grown used to him laughing at others and teasing, but this is the first it feels truly pointed. Having heard that Alphinaud was emotionally linked to him this week, she feels like maybe she understands why he seemed uneasy at times throughout the week.
Or she could be reading too much into it, who knows. At any rate, she won't be dropping her guard again--just in case.]
[Sometimes a fish changes its scales just because it pops up into the sun; not that a shark is particularly a scaly fish, but maybe that's why the deep sea daemon, too.
Still waters run deep; restless waters run a little too everything.
Alphinaud probably got So Much Mental Noise, poor thing. On top of everything else]
So you're sayin' everybody else was doing the wrong thing, then?

I'm not surprised that they do. I can only assume they're watching us even now.
...would it have been worth it?

No. I expect that everyone else was likely voting for the person they thought most likely to be a culprit.
