“Are you really that sadistic, Mr. Pitter? I get dragging me here at five in the morning if Noelle needs it, but waking me up three hours later?”
Hm. Seems like Coil is using a nickname for Dinah to make the truth of how he acquired her a bit less obvious.
That, or I wasn’t actually off the mark with there being another captive, but I’m far from sold on that.
The ‘nanny’ didn’t reply, instead stepping out of the way, to give Trickster a better view of Coil. Trickster leaned out of the doorway to look his employer up and down, picked some sleep from the corner of his eye with his thumbnail. “Damn it. Okay.”
Hah!
“Thank you,” Coil replied, “I would like to speak with your friend, downstairs. Past experience has suggested this works best if you act as an intermediary.”
Hm. Trickster being called in in the first place seems to suggest that he has a bit of a connection with “Noelle” that Mr. Pitter doesn’t quite have, but Coil doesn’t seem to have much trouble talking to Dinah directly. Maybe there is another captive in the containment facility.
“I don’t know if that’s a great idea.”
Oh, don’t worry. If it goes badly, it didn’t happen.
