*coughs and addresses Celuien in smart-*** manner*
"Celuien, you seem so wise, telling everybody to speak up so the wolves cannot hide behind silence. Yet, if we all start yelling at each other, as innocents, it is far easier for the wolves to hide. When you are crying out, trying to get as much said as possible, it's far easier for the wolves to find something they can use against you, than when you stay silent and only say those things that make sense.
I'm not saying we should all remain silent and not discuss these matters, for we seem to be in serious trouble here. But you are wrong in presuming that we can only save our village by babbling. Quiet reflection and the right words at the right time can be helpful as well, maybe even more helpful sometimes, for the wolves will have no big words and long speeches to hide behind.
You can hardly hide behind silence. It is quite empty and transparent. It is far easier to hide behind the words of the innocents."
*pours another glass of wine*
"Well, at least Gil hasn't drastically changed because of this recent tragedy. Which might be suspicious. Or not."
