If he won't talk to me about it I have another idea. [he just has to figure out a way to go at it that isn't manipulative because he cares deeply for Archer and won't do that to him.
Why is it so complicated to care about people's feelings.
But speaking of manipulative angles:]
Has Nadja granted any requests of yours? Or have you had reason to ask?
The only thing I would ask for is my necromancy, and that's not happening now. Whatever protection it'd give me isn't worth whatever she might want out of it.
Right. ...We can hope you aren't permanently paired with her and the next warden will grant them. Perhaps I could ask for them back, too, after you're not her ward--I don't know if I'm allowed to now that I am paired but it couldn't hurt to try.
[He doesn't actually mean 'handy'. She says 'legends' which implies she hasn't tried it. Anita is not the sort of person who runs around controlling people, and that's one reason he likes her.]
I'm curious what Dracula has to say now. If there's some sort of pattern to necromancers across the worlds, like there are other similarities.
[They should have just done this in the first place.]
You.
[She answers faster than she's comfortable with, so she takes a second and thinks over anyone else.]
Pagan. Maybe William.
[Dracula floats in her head, but she rejects that idea. They get along, she might even go so far as to say she likes him. But he's a vampire. One who's going through some really relatable stuff, but still. She's a vampire hunter. They're bound to end up at odds eventually.
And that thought makes her suddenly sad. Which is confusing. She's frowning hard, as lot of thoughts run through her head.]
[Of those three options, the only one Lark trusts to use the information is himself, so. A small, grateful smile, and he programs it to save an extra copy to his own device.
But as he hands it back to her he notices her expression.]
Re: [Voice] [private]
I don't know. But I can ask.
Re: [Voice] [private]
Let me know. I'll keep you informed on Godric, too, but...I don't know how much he'll tell me.
Unrelated: have you spoken to him at all since your first day?
Re: [Voice] [private]
Just the once.
[When they talked in her barren kitchen.]
I think we're avoiding each other.

I really thought it would scare her, or I wouldn't have brought it up.
Re: [Voice] [private]
Re: [Voice] [private]
Legends say necromancers can control all undead.
Re: [Voice] [private]
Well that's handy. If it's true.

Re: [Voice] [private]
He already knows. He found it interesting, but he's not gushing about it.
Re: [Voice] [private]
I suppose if he isn't threatened by it that's something. Then again, he doesn't seem the type to be threatened by much.
Re: [Voice] [private]
No, he really isn't.
[She knows some things about Vlad, that are his private business. She's much better at not sharing other people's secrets than her own.
That probably says a lot about her.]
I guess you don't get to be a bona fide legend if you get spooked easy.

She stops him several times, and makes him repeat himself. "What's an icon? I don't see anything like that. Nothing is happening."
She is so bad with technology. It's torturous to give her tech instructions over the phone.]
Re: [Voice] [private]
Now, to back it all up in case something...
You know what, why don't you bring it here and I'll set it up?
Re: [Voice] [private]
[She's already moving, because she wants this thing out if her damn hands before she smashes it.
She has take so many pictures of her forehead and hair. This madness needs to end.]
Re: [Voice] [private]
THERE.]
Do you have anyone you'd feel comfortable having access to the recordings? In case someone steals your device?
Re: [Voice] [private]
You.

What's wrong?
Re: [Voice] [private]
Just thinking too hard. Thanks for this.
