Skye blinks at Kylaski, skewering him with a sharp look. “Yeah, we defended ourselves against violent attack with extreme resistance to the idea of our own murder, unprovoked by the rake. It was textbook self defense.
“That’s scoop one, by the way. Our leader’s name is Damros — that’s scoop two, by the way. The rest of us prefer some anonymity, but he’s our public face.”
He blinks a few times in shock. "You know what. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. If I publish that you will be under investigation. And self defence won't help much as you do not fit his victimology. But I might publish a story about the murderer being murdered. I'll have to replace you with a lone vigilante so the law doesn't remove you as a helpful source of information for me."
Sky nods in agreement. It seems fair, and more generous than she would’ve expected. Of course, no one ever made it in any business by keeping their nose clean.
Kylaski announces proudly with a smile, "That's because we killed the elf killer."

After joining more my signature got out of hand so I am now a proud member of the extended signature club!! :)

Kylaski looks a little miffed that they (and she) won't be getting credit, but she remains quiet.
