Part of the Introverted World

We know as of Peace Talks, that Daniel Carpenter has relatively quickly ended up married with a baby on the way post Ghost Stories.

And I like the idea of Daniel's pregnant wife secretly being one of Nicodemus' hereditary cultist stock. We know that they don't lose the tongue right away as an obvious tell they have to "earn" that. We also know that Felicia Raith got Daniel talking before about the sword so he is not entirely immune to charms.

Nicodemus meanwhile can't go near the Carpenters anymore but it's outright mentioned his mortal followers could. So this would be someone with a direct ear in and direct access, it would be a huge advantage. Daniel being away with the military on occasion is also a benefit for such a subterfuge as it gives more of a loose unobserved leash for anything she gets up to.

I feel it's absolutely the sort of devious shit Nicodemus Archleone would condone.

Viewers discretion - and in fact I'd love to hear how anyone else would run an idea like this if they had any thoughts - whether this was the cultist's own plan she brought forwards or his he told to do.

Also viewers discretion about how she ends up feeling about things by the end of it all. Redemption arc, loyal to His Cause to the end, or somewhere in the middle.

I genuinely forget straight people exist sometimes.
