[Silco is staying quite contained, but he does attempt to project reassurance - though it's laced with just a bit of irritation. Not at Sharon, of course.]
Oh, he's plotting something, certainly. I think he has it under control, [this is a lie, but the whole point of Silco reaching out is to hand out these little lies,] but there's some concern that the fallout will be dangerous. He wants his close associates prepared, just in case.
[ The reassurance doesn't help—but she takes it all the same, welcomes it even. ]
You think? [ Doubt. Silco doesn't seem like the type of man to use words like that unless it's to hide something. ] Consider me prepared. If he is lashing out at Sleep, there's a chance she might cut his tethers. Do you have one with him?
I do. [He supposes there's no point in lying about it, though admitting it feels odd. Silco has tethered with very few people in this place, so far.] What are the effects, when she does something like that? I ought to make an effort to be prepared as well, all things considered.
Pain. It's like having a part of yourself cut away. You feel it in your fucking soul. It'll be much worse for him, though. It'll be like being plunged into a nightmare, worse than death.
Suddenly, you are alone in this world, and without tethers to be a buffer, you become even more susceptible to her bullshit. He'll need to retether as soon as possible. Luckily, the threads are easy to mend. [ She has experience, after all. ]
Hmm. I certainly hope he's ready for that possibility, but if he's not, at least the mess won't be so difficult to clean up.
[It doesn't sound pleasant, but Greed's a big boy, he can make his own choices. It's not as if Silco doesn't understand the desire to strike back at something oppressing you, even if it means pain.]
That's not something we can prepare defenses for, I think, besides being ready if it does happen. If anything more - anything physically dangerous - happens, come to the Nest. I'll ensure you're safe.
Good. I'm on the first floor. If you do come, and need anything, knock on my door. If anything happens to Greed, I'll be taking care of the Nest while he's indisposed.
[They hadn't discussed that, actually, but Silco doesn't really care. He does what he wants.]
[Admittedly, he is tempted to tell her to fuck off.]
Greed and I are working together. Not in this, specifically, but in the interest of cooperation I offered to look after the people he was concerned about while he carries out his plan.
[And considered Greed's initial plan was to ask Vander, well - of course Silco was going to step up.]

You know, I have an apartment there. Second floor. I'll stop by if things start getting sticky.

You can tell me to fuck off, but... Why're you doing this? [ There's no suspicion, just pure curiosity. ]

Bet that'll go a long way with him.
