Theida nodded along, going through approximately the same thought process. "Yeah, that's... yeah."
At her confirmation, Spindle's frown deepened. He was so twitchy, Theida thought, tapping his foot and all but swinging his arms about, but then Larch's voice commanded attention again. "And, in your malice, with no one up to stop you... it pains me to ask, but I cannot imagine another reason for it to be stolen," he said, looking at the crowd and at Myrica, before facing Hother and Theida again. "I believe that you've destroyed the book. Would this again be right?"
Theida knew, again, that this wasn't right at all, but it certainly made sense within the fiction that he'd created. If she and Hother were 'malicious,' and they stole the book, then sure, she would probably also destroy it. As Larch said, why else take it? "Yeah," she said again, with a thoughtful mildness that held none of the gravity that the question deserved.
