You know how they say there's no ethical consumption under capitalism?

[He's a teen on the internet, you hear stuff even if you're not in college absorbing the knowledge.]

I don't think there's non-shady witchcraft under the Colony. You just do the best you can to keep your head above water. Especially if you're an heir.

[He didn't know this about David before but he knows now and honestly it makes him respect him a little bit more.]

And the fact that he was here to warn me and not kill me to assure his place in the hierarchy, I think that buys him a little bit of trust. Honestly simplest route would have been not telling me at all and stealing the power at the solstice for himself.

( So, blame the corporations. She can see that, at least. )

Or killing you, himself. ( She's the blunt sister. ) And, he didn't. And he was there in London and in Prague. He's like our bad fairy. ( Give her a second. ) I heard it back.

[He smirks.]

It's still kind of amusing. Picturing him in one of those gauze-y dresses with a magic wand.

[It's a good picture for such a scary witch. But he lets it go after that.]

I don't know. I'll figure it out. Should probably talk to Eliza and let her know what's coming.

Whatever you need from me, Danny.

( She didn't think she'd be signing up for ending her college career so early, and maybe she doesn't mean something that drastic, but she's a bit in love with her British guy. So, she says what she says. What comes next, then she'll determined. )

[undermyfeet]

Thank you.

[He leans in to kiss her softly before pulling back with a sigh.]

But right now I could use a good distraction. Maybe there's something off campus we could do?

Alice and me may have been invited to a party.

( Everyone is, it's all very the more the merrier at college. They don't seem to be discerning but that's what college is supposed to be about, right? )

It means cheap beer and even cheaper conversation. But with you being there, it now has a kind of appeal.

[undermyfeet]

You know what, that sounds like an excellent distraction.

[Time to go be dumb college age kids. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts.]

Let's go grab Alice and see if she still wants to go.

[And with that, off they will go to see if they can enjoy their evening.]
