Until the moment it does or does not become apparent that one of those girls is a wolf, there is no disadvantage to appearing friendly. I have already paid the requested fee by casting my vote, and the only other favor promised in return was that we do not harm the girls, which I presume none of us had any intention of doing, regardless.
If you worry that association will taint your reputations, you needn't. I've given her none of your names. I'm the only one implicated. If you're unhappy that our line with her is one built upon a pretense when the intent to undermine, then you're being naive. If you don't trust her, neither do I. We already know to not to take anything she says at face value. If you don't like her, I don't care. That isn't the basis of the game, and even less relevant when lives are at stake.
At best, we gain a chance to sway their vote or prevent another pointless sweep from happening again. At worst, you suffer nothing, because I already have.
If this still doesn't make sense to you all, then tell me how you propose we cut the cord without making an enemy.
And though I recognize that my standing in this group is now that of pariah, I'll make two requests: first, if there's any more information any of you are withholding, I'd advise you share it, if not with the group then at least with a member of it you trust; and second, if any of you plan to nominate yourselves again next turn, I'd know it now, too, the better to make up the wasted vote.
[ Ah, to be the one who made a mistake where the other made a choice.
Silco's answer is no, and he's right as far as their purposes, though the question remains whether they'll have the ability to see them through now. The disadvantage to appearing friendly is the rot granted permission to set into their foundations, left untreated, free to spread.
The damage is done. Stephen's burned himself enough today to wash his hands of further comment. ]

We march onward.
