"Is this about what I think it's about?"
"This is about a mysterious message I received from someone claiming to be your sister, offering to tell me secrets about you that would change everything I thought I knew." Noel's violet hair was escaping its ponytail. Her jaw was tight with barely controlled fury. "Imagine my surprise when I realized I already knew most of those secrets because you told me last night. Right before you drained yourself almost to death saving a complete stranger."
"Oh."
"Yes. Oh." Her grey eyes flashed. "So now you're going to explain who exactly your sister is, what she wants, and why she's sending cryptic messages to your teammates like some kind of corporate spy thriller villain."
Mera's tail tightened around my waist. A question without words.
I sighed.
"Conference room C is probably empty this time of day."
"Lead the way." Noel fell into step beside me. Glanced at Mera. "You too. I want witnesses in case I decide to strangle him."
