Man I wish Eizen were here, or even Magilou. [One who could actually talk sense and the other to sacrifice to the Lord of Calamity. Okay no, even Magilou might be able to say or do something to at least help them if not Velvet.]
What if you said I told you, but just that? I could have easily thought that Laphicet was in on this and Eleanor happened to hear. After that, you moved on your own.
[He glances at both of them.]
That should cover me since it'll seem like it was more of an accident than on purpose, and I'll be able to stick with her. That will leave you guys to do whatever you want.
[It's the best "scheme" he can come up with and be the most plausible. There's no way they can stop her and even if they tried by fighting, it would probably just make things worse. So in his eyes it's probably easier to take the fall and ride it out while ensuring nothing actually happens to Velvet. If it works, he can protect her and bank on Eleanor, Laphicet, and the heroes to prevent something catastrophic from happening.]
