Kale (thinking): So in one afternoon I almost got myself strangled by a plant, asked a good guy to break the law, tried to unlock my powers when it turned out there was no need, then thought I was going to be arrested for all that and nearly had a panic attack. Maybe I’ll just go home and never leave the apartment again.
Thorn: Bringing the kids to the Embassy now — please have someone ready to meet them.
Comm: What, do they need a lawyer too??
Thorn: No! Just an adult who can confirm their safe arrival.
Comm: Affirmative.
Thorn: Iona . . . did you say something about a woman in a black coat?
Iona: Yeah!
And she had silky dark hair in braids, and dark skin, but not as dark as yours, and big green eyes with lots of eyelashes, and she went into the hall where you were! Did you see her too?
Thorn: I think . . . I’ve never seen her before.
Ragnild: When are you gonna let this go, huh?
Thorn: No, sorry, I’m translating this badly . . .
I think I’ve “never seen her before” before.
Bennet: This is Bennet Amande live at the scene of the Royal Opera! I’m hearing that all the viewers have made it out safely, and will be given replacement Leachtric tickets for free!
Chair: That was half price. They already saw half the show.
Bennet: Other sources say free.
Chair: I’m the opera chairwoman!
Bennet: We’ll let the viewers decide.
