Last week, before the jailbreak, I talked to Mouse - I figured they at least obviously cared about Mika.
[enough to be honest even if it wasn't a good idea.]
I asked if they thought there was really any chance they were going to manage to negotiate for Mika's safety. After all, if there was a way of getting her out that way, I didn't want us to ruin that chance by acting hastily. Mouse was pretty straightforward that the chances felt like basically zero. I appreciated that honesty, so I wouldn't be against sharing what we know in turn.
[in other words, he agrees that Mouse seems pretty trustworthy.]
I also think Amethyst Snake is a potential ally. They're involved in some sort of detective work, where they're from. At the least, they told me they unofficially approved of our actions, but I think they've made a strategic calculation that they need to keep working with the city for now. I think we can trust them to be discreet, and maybe return the favor with any information they learn.
