She said very sweetly and innocently. With wide brown eyes and everything. Just some food for thought, Nigel. Blue raised her left hand for a high-five, grinning. "You ready? Then let's do this thiiiing." It'd be simple. Why Theo and Cassia were having so much trouble Blue had absolutely no clue whatsoever.

Blue grinned and did that cool thing where she pushed up her sleeves and raised her chin up, almost like a backwards nod, at Alice in a second greeting. "Will you charm us? I don't want to have to worry about the tie falling off or anything."

Like getting tempted to run away and steal victory for herself.

Cough.
