"She is," agrees Didyme warmly. "She was a great help to Marcus and I, in the aftermath of the revolution."

"I kinda sorta heard about that!" says Harley.

Permalink

"I would imagine she'd be an excellent storyteller if she so chose," laughs Didyme.

"She iiiis," he giggles.

And then looks at Marcus, and wonders, "Do you talk?"
Permalink

"Not frequently," says Marcus.

Permalink

Harley laughs. "Okay. Why not?"

Permalink

Marcus shrugs. "I rarely have anything to say that has not already been said."

Permalink

"Huh," says Harley. "Why'd you take over the world?"

"I was not much of an active participant by the time takeover was attempted," Marcus says dryly. "It was easier to do as Aro and Caius asked than to attempt to gainsay them, and I was much drawn to ease after my mate was killed." He lets go of her hand and puts his arm around her shoulders; she pats the back of his hand. "Aro feared the coordination humans were capable of in the face of vampire fractiousness - it was why he was so pleased to find Chelsea, and to have me to abet her - and Caius desired power."

"I'm really glad you got brought back to life," Harley says earnestly to Didyme.

Permalink

"So am I," says Didyme. "And glad too that Paola did not have to be permanently displaced for it."

Permalink

"You're nice," Harley observes.

Permalink

"So I'm told," laughs Didyme.

Permalink

"You aaare, you're really sweet, I like you," he declares.

Permalink

Didyme laughs. "You're very kind."

Permalink

"I'm very friendly," he says. "I like people!"

Permalink

"How convenient that there are so many," she laughs.

Permalink

Harley giggles.

Presently it's time for Marcus's interview, and he won't go anywhere without Didyme, so they both go, Didyme waving to Harley as they leave.

Bella finishes looking over somebody's clipboard of checklists, and has a moment of stillness, no longer running around micromanaging everything to her satisfaction.

Permalink
So naturally Harley decides to pester her next.

"Hi, Bella!"
Permalink

"Hello, Harley. How've you been?"

Permalink

"Kerron wants me to feed him tons of pie for science! And Marcus and Didyme are adorable."

Permalink

"What form of science is advanced by feeding Kerron tons of pie?"

Permalink

"Seeing what happens if a hybrid just keeps eating food," he says. "Maybe he'll explode!"
