Ava watched the scene before her unfold. She was surprised that Kaleb decide to jump into the conversation. It was an unexpected move, one that told her a great deal about the bond the two of them were building. Still, Ava’s mind played over Reine’s actions carefully. Every move and even every word designed for effect. She smiled as her hand carefully moved her blond hair to the side. This girl had promise, if only she could learn to get over herself and out of her own ways.

“You speak of privilege, as if I should be ashamed of it. Why? Simply because I was born to a household of wealth,” Ava questioned as she let out a laugh. “Are you kidding me,” she mocked. “But Kaleb is right,” she added. “You do deserve explanations for the events of today.”

“First, I did my homework weeks ago. Chain Codes here are no different than they are for me back home,” Ava took on a more informative tone, as if she were giving a class. “There is only one way your Chain Code has been deactivated,” She spoke with a grin and her eyes locked on Reine’s. “You, my dear sweet girl, are dead. Or at least officially listed as such. Based on your most recent of actions, you have angered your patriarch and as such, they have reported your death. I have seen this happen to a young girl back at Richie Resort. It is a sad state for someone to be trapped in.”

“As much as you would like them to be, no one is looking for you. Which brings me to our second ‘Command Decision’, Being dead, means you have no rights. You are, for all intense and purpose, a non-person. But we need you on this mission. You are not known, and I can easily get you passed security as one of my Servants. So yes, I made that choice, because it was the most sensible at the time.” She frowned, “I suppose my only mistake was not telling you before hand of what was being planned. I had imagined that since you knew that you required access and would be helping in the mission, that the most logical step would be as one of the Servants.”

She held up three fingers, “and the third Command Decision was to save you from your own lack of self-control. That man you picked a verbal altercation with was Baklid Secret Police. I have heard Lady Loran speak of them. And surprisingly, she does not like them. They answer only to the Prime Minister, and do you know what happens to people like you who make them angry? They disappear. Do not think that I am out of my element here,” Ava said as she brought her tone back to normal. But still her slight accent showing through. “I know Secret Police when I see them, and I know how deadly they can be.”

She gave Reine a slight nod, “there is your explanations. As for your apology, I have none for you. Nor do I want yours. There is nothing to apologize for. As I have said, this squabble between us is over. And yes, it is that simple. I choose not to engage you any further on these matters which are behind us.”
She turned to Kaleb, “I am grateful for your words, but it is unnecessary.” She turned her gaze back to Reine, “you can accept me at my word or not. The choice is yours. I will waste no more of my time on this. I have a mission to plan. If you fail to help us with the rescue, then I will have my answer.”

Without a second thought, Ava turned in military fashion. She walked from the room and allowed the door to close automatically behind her.
