"Totally." She snorted. "Always a fight or something going on."
"The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." -Karis Nemik
Sadie nodded sympathetically. "Yeah, my siblings were always fighting when I was growing up, too... luckily Cyrano's got some real zingers. Maybe you'll learn a few comebacks," she joked with a grin.

"Oh, I don't have trouble with that. I'm a middle kid; I've gotta be tough as nails."

“I do.” She nodded. “An older sister and a baby brother.”

Sadie forced a little smile and nodded. Not really. They’d both sided with her parents, too. She’d talked to her older sister once, two years after she got tossed out, when she called to beg for money. She’d blocked her number after it ended in a nasty cussing fight. “Mhmm. So you’re auditioning for Cyrano — anything else? Back up plans?”

"Eh, maybe Christian. He seems fun." She shrugged. "I know I won't get Cyrano."

“You do?” Sadie raised an eyebrow. “That’s impressive— I don’t even know that yet. How do you figure?”

"Well." She fiddled with her pencil, looking down at her drawing. "Emily's not the only person who thinks I'd ruin the play because I'm a girl. I know this town pretty well."

“But does the town know Cyrano?” Sadie challenged gently. “Or are they just living in the 1950s? Still.”

"They're always gonna live in the 1950s." She rolled her eyes. "You should keep your career afloat, though. Play it safe, okay, Mrs. Lovett?"

It broke her heart that a kid this young thought she needed to take care of Sadie — a fully grown adult. ‘Disrespectful’ her ass. Treat her with a modicum of respect and this kid had a heart of gold. “Don’t worry about me, hon. I appreciate that. I do. But I can handle a bit of heat — art is nothing if not a tool to push back against the status quo… besides, Christian is a man, too. It’d be the same difference. Don’t shrink yourself to keep people happy.”

Bean smiled slightly at that and nodded. "Okay. I don't usually. Just...you know."
