It takes considerable effort on your part but you rein in your feelings on the matter.
"Yeah I do. Don't worry. I'm not that dumb. What Mama wants Mama will get."
"We'll have to see about that-"
"Greki!"
"Sorry Miss Silver. But it's the truth. Even if he says so the cap'n has problems with subtlety. It's just the truth."
"Myeh. Me-me has a question. What-what are you talking about?"
"Nothing Dexter."
You shake your head.
"But I'll need one of your strongest potions to sleep tonight."
"Normally me-me would say my strongest potion-drinks would be too strong for you. But I trust brother-friends ridiculous-mad tenacity. Me-me will see what me-me can scrounge up."
"Thanks. And Gu. I can't make any promises but we can give it a try at least. Maybe Mama can be convinced."
Omukade doesn't seem too reassured by this but it's not like he has much of a choice in the matter. Even he realizes that the Yonko are not to be trifled with, even if he has qualms about her plans. But with that settled you cut things short, stating that you feel like you need some rest and move to your own room with Nutmeg. After getting some of Dexters extra hard moonshine you drink yourself to near oblivion and get to bed. But your wife lying next to you senses the tension radiating from you and she tries to do something about it while you stare out of your head.
"Silver-"
"Yes?"
"Are you asleep?"
"No."
"Sigh. Listen. I just want to know what's wrong. You're clearly upset. And I want to help. But I can't do that if I don't know what your problem is. Can you work with me?"
"No. I can't explain what it is that feels wrong about this. I can't find the words. But I don't want to cause problems to the family."
"And yet you still feel upset about something."
She turns to the side and wraps her arms around you, pulling you closer. Hoping that the comfort she provides at least eases your frustration. She cuddles with you for a while before she nervously speaks up.
"Listen I... I can't fully say I've figured out how you think yet. But I got a pretty good idea. And... I think you need to know something."
"What?"
She stops and starts thinking deeply. It must be about something very important because you feel her pulse getting faster and faster.
"N-Nothing. I'll tell you later. Just try to get some sleep. Okay?"
