Liska nodded to Ebony on her way back into the complex.
"So you know what was it that she just picked up?" Darcy asked.
"That generally makes a difference." Maeve agreed.

"She's a teen mother so of course she's worried about the safety of the twins," replied Ricardo, "So what is it that you want to look for?"
~~~~~
"Well, I discovered that some of these humans have strange habits and it appears that this concept called "smoking" is looked down on by the others here," said Ebony, "It's crushed tobacco leaves from what I learned and it really made a fortune in their world, sometimes illegally. What she picked up was a discarded cigarette and there is at least a few people her who smoke."
~~~~~
"Yeah, I've been in these clothes for two days," said Delfina as she walked to the showers, "I need to get cleaned up."

"I'm wondering what Grayston is up to," Phoenix said. "He pasted my picture across the papers on the hunt. I want to see if he's told them to pull it down yet."
She sighed when she still saw the 'Missing Heiress' headline next to the 'Business Mogul in Highway Accident' article that screamed on the screen.

A few humans snickered when they saw the headlines on the screen. "Looks like Mr. Grayston's trying to cover his a**." By now, the origins of Phoenix were well known to them.
"Sounds like a dirty habit." Darcy wrinkled her nose. "Don't blame anybody for making them take it outside."
"I've got a few old clothes you can change into afterwards." Ruth-Ann offered. "They're kinda ratty, but they're clean."

"He's having an interesting amount of bad luck, isn't he?" Ricardo snarfed as he read the articles, "Sounds like he's trying recover his dignity."
~~~~~
"Tobacco isn't healthy either," said Ebony, "At least to the humans. It's a bad habit and certainly not something that Tess would want going on among the Seekers."
~~~~~
"Thanks, Maeve," smiled Delfina, "Those will be fine."

"Sounds like you grew up in a very egotistical society." Michael remarked. "This may be just be a miss here, but by hearing from you, it sounds like your people may well believe they are the most pure descendants of who created you. Only True World you said. That gives people much better reason to justify looking out for number one, using extreme measures."

"Looks like he ended up in an accident on his way back to New York, one of his bodyguards spun out," Phoenix said as she read it over. "Looked likes me leaving him isn't doing him any good."

"Oh, too bad for him, huh?" said Ricardo, "I might sound insensitive, but he deseved the accident."

A human in the court said something to the effect of "karma's a b*tch, isn't it?" to no one in particular.
"I s'pose it's up to them, but they don't have to tolerate it inside." Darcy shrugged.
"Yes, a very inviting place it is, and a very charming family." Julian snorted. "You understand why I want to keep a distance from it, and why my mother sought more congenial company elsewhere."

"You aren't," Phoenix said. "But its the least he could get from how he treated me. He could die and I wouldn't bat an eyeshade."

"I hate smokers.", Martin said to himself.
"Hey, Seth!", Amélie called.

"Not unless they want to make a good impression here," answered Ebony, "Whatever habits they have they should keep it private and out of public view."
And that was all she wanted to say on that subject.
~~~~~
"What goes around, comes around," said Ricardo.

"I can't imagine what kind of flak you received since your father was not from the Only True World." Michael stretched in the bed. He had spent some time cooped up inside without any exercise. He was used to working in the warehouse, moving stuff and moving around. Not doing it for a while was getting to him.

Phoenix closed the computer and sat the computer back on the shelf not wanting to find out his condition. "I guess so, I just hope no one's gonna go crazy trying to hunt me down. I really don't want to hide down here forever."

Seth turned as he heard the jetliner addressing him. "Yeah?"
"It was like growing up in a well-upholstered jungle." Julian concurred. "With claws and fangs in abundance. Generally well-concealed, but you knew they were there."
Darcy moved aside as a man on horseback rode by. "Where do they keep those animals?"
"Just a sec," Ruth-Ann ducked inside her quarters. "I'll get some things."
