[ Well, one omission of information that couldn't be blamed on Psyche's oversight. Waltaquin is either as erratic as she seems, or already testing the water. Although there's no reason it couldn't be an intriguing and dangerous combination of both. ]
It wouldn't be the first time I've accepted gifts on her behalf. I hope this one is more auspicious than the last. Do you trust me to convey the sentiment behind it?
[ Really, Psyche owes her some further explanations. ]
But I would agree. Particularly since they seem to have evaded detection. In their position... I think I would try for more samples next time. Four or five targets, perhaps, ideally including myself to deflect suspicion. But I suppose there's no further action we can take until they move again.

[She won't speak of the gift again in Psyche's presence. If Medea passes it on or not, she'll learn the truth of it in time - as well as how much truly does pass between them. It is, really, as much a game as it is the inexplicable desire to weave these threads between them, stitch her signature there.
This harrowing interest must be friendship.]
I'd have disposed of the vessel or made sure it was planted in the possession of another by now, as well. The most likely culprit is surely a patsy. I shall keep an eye on things...and our drinks.
