With that I can agree completely: I don't think Vir is concerned about danger to Londo, or even damage to his reputation, at this point. In fact, I don't even know if he has a good and rational reason for doing (or not doing) what he did. Maybe at this point, despite knowing in his heart(s) that Refa is not up to anything good, he still trusts Londo enough to give him the benefit of the doubt. And maybe he was just afraid of letting Londo down, however good the reason. And maybe he didn't see the full scope of things yet. In any case, he'd probably be regarded by a blood traitor by his own people if he talked. And whether it would have helped - no one knows, I guess. He could have told a relatively neutral party like Sheridan or the Minbari, and maybe something good would have come out of that... or, it could just have started the bloodshed faster, with the Narn out for revenge.
But, um... I'm getting a bit confused now as to what your position on all of this is, really. You think that not speaking up makes Vir guilty, right, but you believe he did it because he wasn't aware of the danger? (Sorry for asking stupid questions - it's getting late, and my brain is having a hard time keeping up. *sheepish grin*)
He always cares, does Vir. Amen to that. And it comforts me to no end that, despite the sad fates reserved for nearly every other major character, Vir gets through all of it just fine. Sometimes the kind-hearted persons really do get a happy end. :) (More often, however... oh, Lennier. Oh, Susan. Oh, Marcus. Oh, Lyta.)
