Stone: You’re quiet, Alessa. Everything okay?

Lodestar: She’s still mad at me.

Lily: I think being mad at Star for being Star is futile. *shrugs*

Lodestar: I agree.

Amara: Not nice what did but think is worth it. Sparrows need die.

Lodestar: I definitely agree.

Alessa: Yes, well, I’m finding it hard to accept.

Giulia: Don’t be like that, Alessa. You don’t even know what I’ve done since I became Nyx’s Old Lady. I’m not proud of it or ashamed of it. Just like you shouldn’t be ashamed of what you’ve done to be here, at this point in your life.

Lodestar: Wow, philosophical stuff. Having sore nipples is obviously good for you, Giulia.

Giulia: Fuck off. I’m trying to defend you. Don’t give me shit.

Lodestar: I’m not! Just saying it how I see it.

Lodestar: Anyway, Alessa’s entitled to be mad. I know she’ll forgive me in time, and I have plenty of that now. :)

Stone: That right, Alessa? You just need time? Or do we need to arrange some kind of intervention?

Lodestar: Dear God, no.

Alessa: Time heals all wounds, no?

Lodestar: Some more than others.

Alessa: On this, we can agree.

CIA DEPUTY DIRECTOR LATEST MISSING PERSON

Temperance Black, the current deputy director of the CIA, has been declared as a missing person by the MPDC.

Rumors in DC claim that she is but one of many officials who have decided it is simpler to go ‘missing’ than to face the repercussions of their ties to the NWS.

The question is… was the president aware of these potential ties when he nominated her?

CONOR

FIVE DAYS LATER

“Conor! Where the hell is Eoghan?”

I smiled at my sister-in-law. “He said he was going to be running late.”

Inessa scowled at me. “Why didn’t he tell me that?”

“Probably because he figured I’d let you know.”

“I know you’re not married yet, Conor, but you should know that communication is key, and using your brother as a messenger isn’t better than a cellphone.”

“Don’t be too hard on him, Inessa. He’s doing me a favor.”
