And we’re back! Thank you, readers, for your patience in these times of technical uncertainty.
Fact-checker #1: Yes, Mr. Bennett!
Fact-checker #2: What can we do for you?
Bennett: Research project! For a . . . guest. A potential guest. Who is thinking of revealing something newsworthy. A thing of a personal nature.
I need you to research personal news revelations that go over well, and get an analysis of what they did right.
And have it on my desk by six!
Fact-checker #1: . . . Don’t you want the file in an email?
Bennett: That’s obviously what I meant.
(SLAM!)
Bennett (thinking): That went well! I’m sure they didn’t suspect a thing.
(hff hff hff)

Cybele: Boss! Are you okay?
Bennett: Great! Fine! I’m sure the room will quit spinning any second now.
Cybele: I want you to know that I’m right here with you!
Bennett: . . . I know.
Cybele: Unless you want me to go get Mr. Cohen?
Bennett: What? He’s back in Boston today. We’re in New York.
Cybele: I promise I’ll run really fast!
Is Bennett going to publicly come out?!+
That would be the implication, yes.
Or that he owns a being.
Part of me is like, “aw, cute, Rabbit wants to fetch her Master’s hug and squeeze, which probably means Bennett wants Cohen to be there with him, which makes my shipping happy.”
The other part is REALLY curious about whether Cybele can actually deliver middle-aged hotness in 30 minutes or less…
Is poor Bennett having an anxiety attack? Is that why Cybele is so worried?
the Aide in the hoodie looks familiar for some reason…
She’s an AU version of Elisa from Leif & Thorn, if that helps =)
