[Chuckling, Berna nods keenly though she tempers it by listening to Thomas as he curls his fingers around hers. Of course, it would be for Morgan. It has to do with why the security was tightening, why Thomas was being discreet and much more serious and focused.

And additionally, Berna did not like Morgan that much after their first meeting ended as well as it could have. She even told Jacob she wouldn't stick her nose into their work. This was unrelated and it would be perfectly fine, to let this be if it meant not helping those scoundrels indirectly if at all.

You make a good point. It would be unbecoming of me to be helpful to him even in a secondary manner...

[The witch gives him a radiant smile, the kind she knows that dazzles anyone when she wants to convince them and weaken their convictions.]

But I would do this for me, Thomas. Perhaps we can just see where this goes halfway and then I can remove myself, and disappear into thin air.

Besides, we would also have Antoine. You'll find that he is most suitable for operations that require, ah, forceful finesse.
