Star: Yeah. Wanna talk about it?
Cin: Talk? Are you being serious?
Star: Deadly.
Cin: What kind of talk?
Star: I dunno. Like, if you’ve had a bad day or something…
Cin: You want me to share?
Star: Yeah.
Cin: Why?
Star: I dunno. He doesn’t seem to be doing great.
Cin: So, this is for him?
Star: It is, but what with him and Chadwick, it got me to thinking that we probably need it too.
Cin: Hmm.
Star: Not like we can talk to shrinks, right?
Cin: No.
Star: I was thinking a poker game or something.
Cin: I’m more interested. What are the stakes?
Star: God knows. Only just thought of it.
*Cin adds Troy to the chat*
Troy: Sup?
Cin: You still play poker, right?
Troy: Duh.
Star: How’s Lyra?
Troy: Hates her new school. But she saw Katina in the library and that made her feel better.
Star: Why?
Troy: Dunno. Guess she figures she’s not alone.
Cin: Still can’t believe how swaaanky your new digs are.
Troy: Me neither. Didn’t ask for them but won’t say no. Not when Lyra’s safer here.
Cin: Best way. Are you settling in?
Troy: I don’t like being so high up, but what can you do?
Star: You got an emergency route out of there planned?
