"Which has what , exactly, to do with anything?" Jerica challenged, turning a cool gaze up towards Eve. She was sorely mistaken if she thought Jerica was stupid enough to ...

"That's a no," Jerica agreed. There were certain things that didn't matter if everyone knew -- such as her generalship and the fact that she was an assassin. She'd prefer ...

"Don't really have the time to become a master of more than one fucking thing," Jerica spat back. Of all the things that there was to critique about Jerica, her ...

"No," Jerica said crisply. Eve had already told her she couldn't, and she would have figured it out by now anyway even if she hadn't. There'd be no point in ...

Jerica didn't like Eve's tone, acting like she was stupid just because she'd never met a freak like Eve before. "Look, I don't know how your weird little 'powers' work." ...

Jerica was grateful that Eve seemed to think Levin had signed her up for the military, rather than controlling it himself. That was good. The way she explained the rest ...

Fuck. This conversation was rapidly sliding downhill. Why was she always so shitty at talking. Derik was much, much better at this than she was. She cleared her throat, looking ...

Jerica wasn't pleased that the conversation turned back on her, but it seemed fair enough. She'd gotten several questions in, and now knew something fairly valuable about Eve. Leading a ...

As if she'd be happy with that teaser. Now she was just more curious than ever. So many more questions than answers at this point. "So you're leading a rebellion?"

"No. You said an exchange of information and you still haven't told me what it is exactly that you are," Jerica said stubbornly. "I'm sure you can guess what assassin ...

"So you're an officer." Jerica wasn't aware that Eve was making that sort of distinction. If officers didn't count as soldiers, then Jerica wasn't a soldier. Oh well.
