Hah! How I wish it were Timothy Laughlin! How I wish, I would love to grind his smug little face into the knowledge! I could have said him, you know — I could have easily tied this information up in a bow, withheld that we confirmed it to be a Diamond — and done away with him!
[ It's Set's turn to grow shrill, his voice snapping on the complicated loathing-respect that he holds for the aforementioned Tim; he'd prefer to name that man, who craves to be martyred and cannot protect or care for a temple of worship for the life of him.
If not a loss of faith, then a loathing of it. Set had seen Hawk's memories in the gallery. He'd seen the systematic hardening of his heart — the way he had looked upon institutions wealthy with perversion and hypocrisy, fine tuning their control and ability to carry on with their own desires while punishing others for the same. ( So many words, so much history — lavender scares and "don't ask, don't tell". ) ( Timothy telling him that his marriage to Shanks was invalid, because it would never be blessed by god. ) ]
I think we can conclude that Shauna's beheading, rather than August's, might just mean the wrong Diamond wolf went to the cage.
[ He sombers, the fullness of his mouth pursed and pouting. Hesitation and then: ]
— tell him I made you accuse him. Tell him... I wanted to hurt you, for not choosing me. For being delusional, thinking you would choose me over Ash or that I have something on you, to force you to voice my suspicions. I have a reputation. Might as well use it.

Or... or I can say it.
