"What is it you're doing?"

"What are those two---people---doing here?" my father stutters, pointing at Dean and Maya. To be fair, they give off the general vibe of 'may not be a typical gender, but definitely not straight or sober'. Well. Maya looks sober usually.

"What are you doing?" I ask, folding my arms. We came to his private chambers. Only to find him dressed in a suit. Getting ready for the day.

"You know what? Fine. I don't know why I care---Teddy's going to win and you can bring him back here," I say, tugging my friends out of the room, "Forget it. He'll bring Teddy back and we'll all go. For now let's try to find Viktor. He has to be somewhere on the island if Metion is."
