INTERMISSION - Kiernan & Lea!
"You flatter me, honey," she said, laughing. This was why she'd liked Kiernan in the first place. Easy, flirtatious, no need to get too attached (though that, ultimately, had been her goal). "Picking up after everyone, honestly," she continued, "Apparently someone came in late, and things got a little flustered." The description was vague and finished off with a wave. Problems were irrelevant; only solutions were worth thinking over.
"How's Fee?" Lea asked, moving on jocularly. It was a testament to how close she and Ofelia were that sharing men was of little consequence. In response to Kiernan and Fee's hooking up, little more had been had between Fee and Lea than a shared joke in honor of their similar tastes. "Heard she rode on Luce with you."
