“You think Dinah is Coil’s source. That makes a lot of sense.” Miss Militia turned from Weld to Coil, and her voice was heavy with accusation, “Coil?”
“Did you kidnap this girl?”
“N… n… yes. I did.”
“Shame on you. Now, about this threat…”
“I did not kidnap her. I offered Dinah training and relief from the drawbacks of her abilities on the contingency that she immediately cut off all contact with her family and friends and provide me a year of service.”
Oh sure…
Actually…
That’s completely within Coil’s MO and does explain why she was okay with accepting the candy in the first place when she was so clearly aware of what it actually was. These days she’s definitely there against her will, but it’s very Coil to first get her on board willingly by offering her something she wanted very badly.
He lied so smoothly, flawlessly. What really rattled me was hearing him refer to her as Dinah for the first time.
Oh damn, that’s right, he didn’t ever call her that until now, even when Taylor wasn’t present. Hell, not even in his narration.
*shudder*
