When she woke up, the first thing she thought was, "I have to tell Dex. And Fitz. And Tam, and Linh, and..." But Fitz was already there. Plus, he already knew, anyhow.
"You okay?" "Yeah. Are you? I heard about... about Biana." "Yeah, I'm fine. Elwin convinced me to not try to go after them." "That's good." "Yeah."
"So... where is everyone?" "Oblivious to the chaos that's going on. Well, except Keefe. He's inside." "Wait, what?"
Sophie stood up, rushing over to the house. "Hey, Foster. Epic bed hair!" He grinned as Fitz followed her inside. "Thanks." "Heyyyy, Fitzyyy!" Fitz sighed. "Really." "Yes."
Sophie tried to hold back a giggle, but she couldn't muster it. "See, even Foster thinks it's funny!" Keefe smirked at his friend while he rolled his eyes at both of them.
Sophie sighed. "Guys, the whole reason we came here was because we have to tell everybody about all the... Biana stuff." "Yeah, we do."
Fitz looked like he wanted to hit something. Sophie spoke up. "Fitz... we have to stay calm. Something could be going on. Please... don't push us away."
"I won't. But stay calm? How can I? My sister and brother are both..."
He couldn't find a way to say what he'd been thinking.
Evil.
"I know. It's just... if you're not with us, that leaves me alone with Keefe, and who knows what immature plan we'd cook up?" Fitz cracked (THAT ALMOST CORRECTED TO CRACKER xDxDxD) a smile at that, and his eyes no longer flickered with rage.
Keefe grinned. "We could pretend the whole Black Swan wanted to submit to the Neverseen!" Sophie shook her head. "No, we'll free Fintan!" Soon they were in a fit of giggles.
Seemed like you could make a laugh out of a nightmare after all.
Sophie's smile faded a bit. "Anyways... who'll take who? We have to tell Dex, Linh, Tam, Bia-" she had just been listing everyone she knew was in the Black Swan, and... it just popped out of her mouth.
"...Sorry. Marella, Wylie, Stina, Mr. Forkle and the Collective." "So if you take the collective together, it's 8. Which means we would each have 3 except one, who'd have 2.
"If we take the collective by person, it's 12, which means we'll all have 4." "Yeah, that works." Fitz was just sitting in silence at this point.
"So... let's just hail Forkle, tell him, tell him to tell the Collective, and take Dex, Linh, Tam, Wylie, Marella, and everyone else." "Sounds good, Foster."
Sophie pulled out her imparter. "Errol Forkle."
