[And again with the cheerful, if unnecessarily morbid metaphors. But it was a reasonable enough question (and a strange thing to realize, that much of what Henry said was entirely reasonable... or at least pleasantly agreeable, even if it was all wrapped up in unpleasant packaging and unnatural cheer), so Emet-Selch has little problem explaining why he assumes it wouldn't work.]
Why not? If our own Aefenglom's Coven is against killing her at all, preferring to keep her muzzled and captive for the rest of her days, merely delaying her murder would be little better than doing away with her with brutal immediacy. And our Dorchacht neighbors want blood, thoughts crowded with vengeance over all else. I wouldn't want be the one to try convincing them to wait.
[And so, Emet-Selch finds a way to be disappointed with both sides, humanity failing him no matter the outcome. It's his comfort zone....]
But yes, dreamwalking and who knows what else might lurk in that mind of hers. [Including whatever the hell dream doubles were.] Putting an entire city to sleep is in itself a fine trick... as is avoiding capture for an entire year and accomplishing such a thing while providing no warning.
