“No you’re not,” she argued again. “Why would you say that?” Sure he’d been shitty to Lyra but that had nothing to do with Anneke.

“That sounds nice,” Talia said with a nod. “I’m sure there’s a bunch of interesting culture connected at the very least as well.”

She shrank a bit, blushing. “I- yes of course he does I-I wasn’t trying to say — I-I mean— I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant. I’m sorry.” Her face ...

“Um… I’m not actually… I don’t know much about it,” she admitted. “I just like pretty colors and textures.”

“Oh, I meant the art.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.” Talia dipped her head. “Would Mis-er- would Emery know where those are?”

“…Better than never?”

“No m—“ she cut herself off and shook her head.
