*produces an antique pipe and lights it with a glance*

Oh, after a fashion. But one knows the odds, and had one a choice in the matter, it's a bet only worth taking in a rigged game, is it not? Desmond has made his suspicion of both of us quite clear, nor is there much great hope of persuading Shura to one's side. In the best case, one of those two is a wolf, and the others may prove open to reason, but even in that case, there's the wolf in your clue to vote with them. That is three against, most likely. There's little reason for the wolves to split their vote, either, unless favor swings unexpectedly one's way. In which case, perhaps they shall even do as much and one shall live, and the game shall go on -

Call one pragmatic, but while one does expect a fantastic time of it, it would seem to be shaping up to be a character tragedy of sorts: brought down by one's own flaws.
