Carrots

I threw Mr. Wood a carrot last night. It seems poor Mr. Wood has been having a crisis of conscience over what he's learned in Sunnydale about the Slayer and her cohorts. He didn't know who to trust, or if there was anyone he could trust.

I reassured him he could trust me. And as a sign of that trust, I told him my name.

Only my first name, of course. The man is resourceful. If he knew of my employers, he'd surely suspect my intentions were anything other than helpful. The less he knows at the moment, the better. But it would seem that a name was enough to strengthen his resolve.

Then he explained how he was planning to approach this new paradigm in Sunnydale. I must say, although the divide-and-conquer strategy is older than most of the Senior Partners, I applaud those who can make it work in this day and age.

We'll see if things turn out as he plans.

Perhaps the next time I speak to him, I'll throw him another carrot. If he hasn't already turned this particular one up by then.

I wonder if Mr. Wood would get along well with Mr. Finn...?
