“Whatever,” Shadow Stalker replied.
Heh, at least he got a character with an easy out from having to make value-loaded replies.
“No. This is serious. You assaulted a team member. I’m not about to let that slide.”
Regent, internally: “Seriously?”
Skitter, internally: “Of course she did…”
On one level, I wasn’t surprised to hear that. I knew, cognitively, that she had that kind of personality. But emotionally? I hadn’t really believed it. It caught me off guard to hear she was that big a problem in the Wards, as well.
On a third level, that’s one of the reasons you didn’t join.
I think the issue here might be not that you didn’t expect her to be trouble in the Wards too so much as that you didn’t expect her to be this much trouble to people other than you.
A few seconds passed before she finally asked, “What are you going to do?”
“After these guys are securely in custody, we’re going to have words with the Director. She wants you on this team, for whatever reason, so I don’t expect your probation will be broken, but there’s going to be consequences.”
Seriously, what does it take to break that probation?
“Fuck,” Shadow Stalker said.
“And you’re going to apologize to Kid Win. I don’t ever want you assaulting him again.”
To… Kid Win?
Wait, is he not talking about her interrupted attack on Vista? Or is he deliberately getting details wrong to check if “Shadow Stalker” calls him out on it?
Shadow Stalker paused. “Stop fucking testing me. I’m too tired for this. It wasn’t Kid Win.”
Yeah. I guess Tattle filled him in on that too, unless Sophia did so during the torture session.
But Sophia’s smart enough that I’m pretty sure she’d give him wrong but believable information, at least at first.
