“Was that Ford?” “Yes.” “Hmmm.” “Hmmm what Zane?” “Nothing. It’s just, don’t you think it’s a bit curious that after all this time, he just happens to turn up within days of you finding out you’re half-Valguard?” “No actually, I don’t. Ford is El’s sister, obviously he wanted to come back and see her. We haven’t seen him in over a year.” “I guess.” “Geez Zane! He isn’t some evil doer lurking around to try and win me over just to feed me to the enemy, which remind me is who exactly? Coz it seems to me that I don’t actually have any enemies, I am part of both races surely that grants me some sort of rightful passage to work alongside both parties right?” The diversion worked. Zane, preferring to answer her questions rather than amble on about the fact that Ford had returned to town unannounced and uninvited.
