[This is the version of the conversation Bellamy has been dreading, but a little after the trial and announcement, Bellamy hunts down Prussia anyway. Here goes nothing.]
[Bellamy knows her position, so she does let him speak to her privately. But her partner and the last German on the whole island are having a Bad Time, so she clearly doesn't look happy about.]
You told me you trust me. That's what I'm banking on.
[He sighs.]
I know who the Sirens are, but I also know who the Wickie is. I want all of you to work together, figure out how the hell to win this. One of the Sirens agreed, but before we keep going, I need to know if you're in.
[She swears quietly in German. It goes on for a few lengthy, colorful seconds before she turns a more critical eye on him. She didn't need this tonight??]
"In" what? In wanting to win this game? You already know my answer to that.
Anything that involves me involves Lief, too. You know that, ja?
[She shakes her head, sharply, and shoves her hands into her jacket pockets.]
I don't like it, kid. I'm not worried about myself, I can handle myself. There's nobody on this island who could take me in a fight. But how do you know they're not using you? Either side?
[She does look distinctly unhappy at his admission, though. Or rather, the "was" tacked on the end. "We don't know for sure," is a trite condolence, and she doesn't have time or energy for that right now.]
You find out from your Wickie whether or not they wanna play along. But I tell you right now, they better come up with a damn good reason for me not to break your partnership with Serph and put Zuko and Akira together.
...I'm spending the night with Erhard. If you wanna talk tonight, it better be soon.
[She growls and rakes her hands through her hair, tangling it up between gloved fingers.]
Ja, tomorrow. Would rather get it over with, but Erhard's not the only kid suffering. We can afford a few more hours to spend with some people who won't be around after tomorrow.
After execution fine, or are Jacopo and the kid involved?
[She closes the distance between them and taps her gloved fingers against his cheek. Look at her!!]
We're gonna win this. For everyone. Don't you forget it.
[Including Raven.]
Sounds like you got plenty of people to talk to who trust you, but don't forget. You wanna hang with me, you just gotta show up. I got a good bottle of Meschkinnes still we can share.

[God. This is the worst.]
There's no way Serph is getting through the next trial, and then I'm going down with him. It's now or never.
no subject
You know I can break your partnership with him. Anybody with any sense would guess that's what someone in my role would do.

[He's a self-sacrificial asshole, Prussia, sorry.]

Raven is a Siren.
[There's the briefest pause, and he sets his jaw for a moment before continuing.]
Was.
