"Tell me again." Aleth was pacing from the wall to the desk and back again as Ky sat on the chest by the foot of the bed and relayed her ...

(Night! I ended up being busy too. It’ll prolly be Ky just telling the story Loquitur offered her as an alibi, idk properly, but isn’t coming tonight lol)

Ky worked over her story again and again about what she'd say to Aleth. He wasn't going to believe that Loquitur had kept her all that time just to talk ...
