“-ridiculous,” Dafydd snapped. “I was stopped by one of the
Sub Rosa’s spies in Malijach the other day – me! Oh, he apologised afterwards, sort of, but do you know what he

Narto listened, wide-eyed, as Dafydd continued to rant. Lou
glanced up at the ceiling. “I thought you’d show up,” she murmured.
A door slammed somewhere in the Illian home, and a moment
later Constance stalked in. “It’s confirmed,” she announced. “I checked with my
sources, and-“
“Wait, you have sources?” Dafydd cut her off. “Where can I
get some?”
Constance poked her tongue out at him. “Well, I talked to
Steve, at any rate. Maybe if you didn’t drive all your partners insane…”
“Unfair,” Dafydd countered. “Not all of you are bonkers.”
