What you do with your division's resources is at your discretion, of course; I will continue to work on the project myself. It is good of you to hear me out.
( Atticus is not a child. Perhaps it's better that it's her, in the full knowledge of exactly who it is that she suspects - perhaps they would have been underprepared regardless. )
In any case, the Artemaeus boy remains. A diplomatic matter rather than a practical one- he may prove fruitful, in future, though I doubt in truth through any doing of his own. Mssr Gandir is, in this regard, somewhat more optimistic than myself.
( He is, perhaps, too sympathetic-
but she is one to fucking talk, and well she knows it, even if she continues to monitor his work with the thought in mind. )
There can be no question of releasing either of them, regardless of what he is or is not; if the truth of the matter is that he was an ignorant dupe of his master, then he has become useful to the Venatori through his time with us, his new knowledge of our personnel and methods. It would be a death sentence to send him back to his own, expendable as he otherwise is. Mssr Gandir has been tasked with helping him to understand this, and to consider how he might make himself useful to our more potentially sympathetic hands.
He will have know more than he believes he does. It is the way. Things he will have thought nothing of- Mssr Gandir works to build a trust between them, in order to see what potential he has. Concessions made to him will be made on the basis of that work, and his understanding of it. And we would be unwise to overlook where he might function for a lever, later; we do not have the full picture of from whence he came.
