She had one other thing she had wanted to do tonight, before she finished her patrol, went back, showered, ate and unpacked.
She squeezed the bud in her ear twice, “Console?”
A brief pause, then a voice in her ear, “Kid Win on the console. Hi, Flechette. Deal with those guys okay?”
Heya, Kid.
“Guys are dealt with but… I’m going to do the rest of my night’s patrol alone.”
“Sorry. I should’ve warned you. Tends to be easier to work around her.”
Heh, sounds about right.
I remember (mainly because I reread parts of it during last chapter’s liveblog) in Interlude 3, someone (Aegis?) mentioned having deliberately kept Shadow Stalker out of the bank robbery battle.
So she’s always like that.
Yep. Even out of costume.
“This is unfamiliar territory for me. I might need you to brief me if I run into a cape, so I know what I’m potentially running into.”
“Of course, I’m not going anywhere.”
Sounds good.
“And on that subject, I remember meeting someone when I was in town for the attack. What can you tell me about the cape with the stuffed animals? Pariah, par-”
“Parian,” Kid Win replied.
Heh, nice. I like the idea of Flechette and Parian getting along, one needle gal to another.
“A parian doll was a kind of doll about a hundred and fifty years ago. Though Parian’s costume is actually closer to a more classical Victorian style porcelain doll, from the same era.”
Nice. I don’t think a history lesson is what Flechette wanted, but I appreciate it.
Is Kid Win reading this from somewhere, or does he just happen to know stuff about historical dolls?
Maybe Parian explained it to him herself.
