>[Sola seems mostly unphased. She orders a mocha and enjoys it when it arrives, surprisingly quickly. She listens intently, nodding along and sipping her drink.]“Your father, and the FBI. Huh. I'm really sorry to hear that. Kanako... once upon a time, Minnie Moo blew up the hospital. Just down the road. Cassie Kade once killed half the aquarium – sorry, I have to say this, ‘allegedly' killed half the aquarium just to get in my head before a match. Warhorse tried to explode Hailey personally, and she killed one of them in retaliation. Don't worry, C.A.M.O.'s mostly better now... but still kinda scary. I think Cactus once ate a guy’s tongue or something. Club Xtacy is wild... but, you absolutely have my promise, I won't say a word.”
>[Sola returns the gesture, with a silly grin.]“This is kind of embarrassing to say, but... I mean, the way you talk sometimes and how you sort of seem in a rush -- if you didn’t just tell me otherwise I would have suspected you were a spy or something.”
