Her communication with Ashe. Сold-blooded, sarcastic and even cruel. At the same time, it is well thought out, and without unnecessary display of emotions.I'm trying to recall, what makes you call the blackmailer calm and calculating?
If she is able to find out Ashe's secret from nowhere and come up with such blackmail, then she will not screw up like that even in an unexpected situation. Not letting a person know that you know her secret, especially when you are secretly blackmailing her, is not some super impossible skill. You are trying to make Delilah look like a smart mind gamer, capable of finding out other people's secrets and organizing blackmail without being caught, and at the same time you are making her look like a fool, who in an unexpected situation immediately gets lost, screws up, and almost exposes herself as a blackmailer. This is not logical.Also, competence in one area doesn't transfer to all areas, so theoretical mistakes could happen. Whatever competence you're seeing in the blackmailer would be in a controlled situation for them. They pick the time, have probably prepared, send the first message, etc. If we're talking about a hypothetical blackmailer-Delilah on the bus she isn't prepared, she ran into Ashe, let a slip of the tongue reveal she knew Ashe's secret, was fed the info that Fiona knows (but not how recently) and jumps on that to cover for her slip. Seems perfectly within the bounds of possibility.
