how on earth did this bloody woman find out that she and vax’ildan are back in london? she must have spies across the city, and ordinarily vex would be impressed by that, wanting to know how she can achieve the same, but now, with it turned against her, she seethes. perhaps she’ll have to discover who this whistledown woman is; society might have lived with her a while, but clearly the secret is not out yet. it might even make being here tolerable, for a while.
her free hand fiddles with the pendant she wears, a childish feather gifted by vax that she refuses to take off, as she rereads the words she’s sure she knows by heart, now. vex barely even registers keyleth speaking. ❝ sorry, darling, i was miles away. what did you say? ---have you read this? ❞
