“And?” Jerica raised an eyebrow, feeling a prick of defensiveness. “How is that my problem?”

"Well, if you're keeping a secret then you've contradicted yourself."

"Then you're just nosy." She finished her drink in one long gulp and set the tankard down, rising steadily.

(When would you like me to bring Rönn in? After a skip or two or during this scene?)
"I've no doubt of that." She strode past her and opened the door. "How far away are you staying?"

(Would he be back yet? I feel like Zander is still two ish weeks out. But also we can fudge that if you want I’ve got no strong preference and am excited to get to that scene so whenever works!)
