Aurelia
She has no doubts that Hotaru will figure it out - sooner or later - and she certainly doesn't intend to hide her identity any further than this moment. But here and now, no, she doesn't give her name yet.
Aurelia jots all of this down as well, writing quickly and efficiently to keep up with Hotaru's words. She leaves out any of her own internal reactions, her expression rather stony and emotionless aside from the consistent furrow of her brow as the gears in her mind turn, stop, turn again.
"And is that all you talked about? While you were both at the Hanged Man?" She prods, the tip of her pen lifting from the paper as she pauses to regard Hotaru once again. Clarifying, she adds, "You talked about Sunjata and Nate, being upset over them both, I gather. But the rest was just details pertaining to the Advocates' activities. Nothing else?"
Her lips form a straight line and her brows relax as she awaits the answer. "And he never said anything to you that might indicate he wanted to... exact revenge for you?"
