[ Tate doesn't seem entirely willing to doubt the hotel, and if Derek wasn't invested in keeping his morale up for the sake of following through on what's genuinely shaping up to be a decent plan, he'd probably needle him about that until he realized what a danger it is to hope for something better. Maybe there are cities out there that are less dangerous than Duplicity, or Veracity - but if there are, why hasn't anyone heard of them before now? Why hasn't anyone come to save them?
Poker sounds - ultimately not very helpful, and Derek pulls a face in response. The fetish party could work, maybe, but there's a chance prying eyes would wonder why they formed their own roaming group to engage in SM when there are so many options to explore that kind of kink readily available in the city. No matter what plan they come up with, Derek's going to be pessimistic and find a flaw in it, so. He'll... try to curb that. ]
We can think of a cover later. You should focus on who you would bring into this, and on coming up with plans of attack in case we do need to defend ourselves.
[ A pause. Derek looks up from his hands, meets Tate's eyes. ]
Setting something up like this could be dangerous. Are you sure you're okay with that?
