Well, at least there was a line. It was a foggy line, but it was a line. Tanith would take what she could get at this point, and she was fairly sure Kelly would too.

There was an awkward silence as Saffron finished the first sketch, which Tanith found uncomfortable purely because she could feel Valkyrie shifting in an awkward manner behind her. So while Saffron worked on the second sketch, Tanith decided to embark on the second part of her job, and the second reason for coming here. "How are all the girls, after yesterday?" she asked Kelly. Kelly, who for someone so sleep-deprived just a few minutes ago, was looking suddenly very alert and just the slightest shade of green. "Is there anything we can help you out with?"

Tanith wasn't sure if she could say that the person responsible was dead, and she wasn't sure if the knowledge would actually bring anyone any comfort. Mortals were funny about revenge. Many had a strange idea that killing people didn't actually help anyone. Tanith had first-hand knowledge that it did; and then, of course, there were all the stories about Mevolent. Tanith didn't think a single person wasn't glad that he was dead. Well, no one who mattered, anyway.
