Eden grins. "Like a little Christmas present, y'know?" she says, and Nix reaches in to give her a high-five.

"They'll prob'ly appreciate it," nods Threnody, slapping Eden's hand in turn and shaking her head.

"They'll appreciate not havin' to pretend they give a damn about people this side of the river gettin' tortured t'death, anyway," Meda completes grimly. "Fuckin' hypocritical little toerags."

"Anyway, Ede," Nix cuts in hastily, "Any idea where your sister is? Tisn't like her to be late - not this late, anyway."

The blonde girl shakes her head. "No idea. She had med supplies to get, 'sall I know."
