Yes. I admit this sort of thing doesn't fall under my immediate expertise, but--I would almost call it professional.
[Very clean. No fuss, no mess. No witnesses. Maketh rubs her face with a groan. This just makes the whole situation more complicated, another detail they don't need and can't cleanly destroy.]
We don't have time for this. And what if we do catch them, hmm? What then?
[He bumps her shoulder with his where they already touch in solidarity. He feels just as done as Maketh about this.]
We must confront the public. Involve them. Let us ask them to determine how they should be dealt with. Either they afford us some power or take the matter of murders, aside from halting any attempts we come across, out of our hands.
[Truth be told, he'd rather the latter. But just in case...]
Tranquility yet owes me a prize. He built this city, did he not? So he may build us some secure cells if it becomes necessary.
That would help, [Maketh says slowly. Logistically, it would be the easiest way to accomplish the goal. The gods aren't perfect engineers, but their structures tend to hold.] If we step too far, we will be seen as tyrants. Too little and we are weak. Let them decide what our purpose should be, and then we will maneuver within it.

Too many are determined to misconstrue our intent.
[He gives Maketh a brief cocky smile.]
It must vex them that we remain strong.

Our strength has not waned, brother. Not once.

[Not with their combined drive and determination. Of that, Henry is certain.]
