Order Only - Private message to Rachel Brodie

I'm trying to figure out if I've been compromised.

I have Russell's journal and scarcely anyone writes to him directly (a few of his co-workers, one of his neighbours, etc.). He makes very few entries, as well, but follows quite a few people.

A bit ago he got a PM from Jason Montague, who was in here last night with Finnigan, Troy Derwent, Alfred Montague, and Demetrius Martyn. They had a round of drinks and chatted about the reception for the Protectorate Security Society (more on that soon).

Montague didn't say a word to me last night other than to order drinks for everyone. But in his message he seems overly familiar. Said he might stop by some night when I'm closing alone, like "last time." And then he asked if it had been seven or eight months ago, and could I refresh his memory?

Essentially I can't tell if I (as Russell) am being propositioned or if I'm under suspicion.

He's an occlumens and a legilimens, which is possibly why he decided to prod Faust. He might have noticed he couldn't read him anymore.

Hydra had mentioned to me he was an occlumens. It's why I approached him to see if I could persuade him to pass information, given Bella.

Pretty sure he doesn't gossip about his job to Finnigan. How attached was Finnigan to him, could you tell?

Also, have you got some excuse in mind for the next time one of Faust's old lays turns up? Montague's probably not the only one he forgot to mention.

A wife? I feel sorry for the woman already.

Montague said that he knew something was off because he couldn't read you, but that otherwise you were exactly the same, except for 'entirely lacking that quiet desperation of a secret, shameful shirt-lifter.' He doesn't think we need to worry about any other lovers, or that anyone else will notice.

Oh, he does. Always has.
