Now????
“Do you have the combination, sir?”
Clever not to use the language when she doesn't have to
we know they beheaded him on the desk.
Nope
She was five foot nine, which was a perfectly good height for a woman in most worlds.
She super model tall
and if she could, she would personally make him run a marathon ahead of an oncoming locomotive. What she said was, “Yes, sir.”
Watch out we're dealig with a badass here
They thought of everything in terms of stories, with
Bring a friend. Bring a lover, even.
In case u were wondering who the clove interest was
There was a glow about him, an aura of presence, as if the light that fell on him came from somewhere else,
That's Ur discount Walmart glamour
She could see the care that he took not to touch the cold metal.
Whoopsies he was acting out of character there fixed it
He’d been more than she expected, in every sense.
Not dirty
The undocumented cases even more so.
How does that even oh nevermind
about the man who’d turned traitor to the Library and sold it out. He had never been caught and was still out there
Not gonna come up later
Kai was clearly bubbling with enthusiasm to tell her all about his investigation.
Why cant we follow the character who's having a good time
and tried not to be too amused by it all.
Gawd forbid you be amused
Kai took a sip of his wine. “Hey, this isn’t bad. For a cheap little hole-in-the-wall place like this.”
omg he has so much more personality than her
She held up her hand to pause him as the waiter arrived with their soup,
U could TELL him why you're pausing him
It seems nobody knows his real name
Well DUH
calm down,”
I sense gender reversals
An involvement with one of them? The loss of a friend or lover?
Bitch snow queen stole him
I just wish to convey my feelings on the subject.
Lol irene's foil
Belgium always seems to get invaded,
“It must be you he’s looking at,”
Kai thinks she's a hottie
“Winters”
Cuz she cold snow queen
The perfect example of a lead protagonist in certain types of detective fiction.
she wondered if . . . “Very well,” the stranger
No thinking for u. Bad protagonist
The intrusion allowed Irene to bite her lip and refrain from kicking Kai under the table,
Lol thank god for that moment. She has double duty to pull on the self repression front. Sbhe almost could have stifled a sigh too in there. Shes that good. If irene ever let herself get out ofc hand theres no telling the eyerolling and petty snark she could unleash on the world
has the accent and the bearing characteristic of certain noble families of Shanghai.
Fortunately,
Coincidence has been on ur side today
“Of course,” Kai said. “Not a problem.”
Lol he has no idea wtf those are
Irene leaned against the wall and tried not to sigh.
GIRL WHO ARE YOU ACTING FOR WHO??? WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF YOU SIGH WHILE NOBODY WHO GIVES A FUCK IS WATCHING
interruptions?
Girl these are clues
It’s good to be an earl and a noted detective, Irene
Mel Brooks
She made a note to get the full details at some point—when
Like when you made the note to aplogize and didn't
“Belphegor?” Irene gasped. “The mysterious cat burglar?”
A good out of context line
Irene caught Kai’s eye and gave him a very slight nod. She suspected that Vale would pick up on this, but she hoped that he’d interpret it as a suggestion rather than the order that it was.
Uh it's pretty daamn obvious you're in charge
silver
Hey
“So,” Irene said briskly. “Standard measures.”
How private is the restaurant
The thought made her smile.
Omg she didnt clamp the smile down and wring its neck
something about
OR the fact they're EXSANGUINATORS
(she nearly bought one for Kai).
If Alberich was involved in this, then the warning was definitely desperate and necessary.
Also pretty damn vague? Its like yelling "Duck!" except ducking as an action is self explanatory. This message doesnt tell her where Al is or what he looks like
Irene allowed herself a vicious smile.
One smile per chapter any more and you'll be a loose cannon
being trampled underfoot by angry shoppers).
Innocent people might be to
He was the one Librarian who’d betrayed the Library and got away with it and
Ha told u
His true name was long since lost,
Somehow, in spite of age and time and the course of years that would afflict any Librarian who lived outside the Library, he was still alive.
Uh yeah cuz magic exists and he made a deal with the fae. Try to keep up
After all, it wasn’t as if Alberich was on her trail at this very moment
I told u thats the problem with vague waarnings
“which is going to be annoying if we need to sneak back in there at some point to get back to the Library.
Uh oh
had been careless of Dominic. Almost to the point of outright dereliction of duty
Not suspicious
and talk to Dominic in person, then.
Oh damn he dead
