[Jesse is very aware of the power of revenge. He doesn't need to be told. But the fact that Carl and Daryl are this mad that he essentially made Rick Grimes take a nap for eight minutes? That's the part he still doesn't get. To call that murder undermines the true meaning of the word.]

Buy him off. He might hate me, but you still got a chance at winning him over.

[dun_moch]

I will do what I can. I trust there is no chance his new resources might become a threat to you?

[Asked more out of curiosity than anything else. Pinkman implied that Daryl was easily deterred through his powers, and the Count is mainly familiar with his ability to heal. Does Jesse have combat ability to match his healing and his wealth? These are the kinds of questions Dooku is always interested in.]

There ain't a whole lot that's a threat to me. I'm more worried about how much attention he'll attract mouthing off about us than I am about anything else he could try to do to me.

[Yep, this boy has tricks up his sleeve.]

[dun_moch]

[Interesting. This is not the first time Dooku has seen him display a more 'typical' criminal trait: a belief that he cannot be defeated, at least physically. Pinkman said much the same about Carl, earlier this year.]

I see. Then I shall ensure he practices an intelligent amount of discretion. Consider it the completion of my apology for this situation.

[He pauses, then shifts:]

While we are on the topic of attention and discretion, perhaps now is the time to discuss Daisy Johnson. I have been advised that she is most close to you- and that she could be a liability.

[One guess who told him that- name starts with 'R', keyword: 'flowers.']

[hostage]

[Yeah, that ain't a hard guess.]

Sounds like Raina don't know what she's talking about.

Me and Daisy split, like, months ago. Not that she even knew anything while we were together. Anyway, she's back with her old boyfriend, happy as she ever gets. Nothing to do with me or my business, so nothing you or Raina gotta worry about.

[dun_moch]

Is that so? That is good to hear, if perhaps unfortunate. I had thought that Daisy's talents might also be useful to us. We will have need of experts with technology in the days ahead.

Considering her history with Raina, she's probably not the best choice, anyway. We can find a hacker who's easier to work with.

[dun_moch]

Indeed. Have you any candidates in mind, perhaps?

[hostage]

Not yet, but I can start looking.

[dun_moch]

Very well- and I shall do the same. I already have some names in mind to approach for recruitment once we are prepared to enter full operations.
