Chapter 22 p16 – All the single Beings
Nov04
Poe (thinking): Her dad’s here . . . that’s awkward. At least Master and I have a plan for this.
Poe: So sorry about the appearance kerfuffle. I don’t mean to offend.
Miss Cohen asked me to visit — and to be discreet.
Miranda: Ah! It’s you, Raven. Not a problem.
Cohen: Ohhhh, there’s a problem all right! . . . The lady prefers to be addressed as Miss Lake.
Meanwhile, in a completely different part of the plot . . .
Looks like Daddy found out she has a contract with a being, and that is a problem from his perspective.
THAT’S NOT THE RAVEN! The feathers are too poofy, for one. I’m inclined to believe it’s the Cormorant. Or alternatively I’m wrong and reading into this too much. I dunno, this just screams “NOT RAVEN” to me.
Notice the transcript says “Poe”.
Also that it has Poe’s purple color, the one associated with him.
So…what do I win for somehow guessing correctly…when I wasn’t correct?
I wonder if he’ll realize that she said “Miss Cohen” because she *can’t* say “Miss Lake”? Well, probably not, because I daresay Erin wants to spin this out even longer before he finds out.
Maybe that’s the very thing he’s objecting to about the name?
Oh no. He knows now.
