While it could've been argued that Eames needed the attention sooner, since Severus had received the lovely tea set gift, but there was a certain detail about that which didn't entirely convince Tracey that would be the wisest route to take. "If we do something to Eames first, I think it may put Severus on alert. Eames already knows that he's going to get attention at some point in the near future, and it's simply a fact. Severus, on the other hand, thinks he just got attention with his periwinkle present."
"I say Severus first, Eames second. Eames can sit and laugh at Severus and his rainbows and not be working to mobilise retaliation against us and then try to get Severus in on it." Tracey didn't know if Severus would try to retaliate, nor how if so, but Eames seemed more the sort to go for elaborate. He had been in on more of the pranks thus far.
