"Dalia!" Faye shouted happily as she opened her door. She moved forward to hug me and iI wrapped my hands around her too.

"What happened?" the older woman asked, looking at that bandage on my head and the one on my hand.

"I chased down some assassin and he picked up a good fight," I said and she sighed, waving me inside.

"I hate that you get hurt on these things," she said settling down on one of her couches and pushing me to sit with her. "You shouldn't be out there at all."

"Yes I should. I'm useful," I simply said making Faye sigh.

"Well did you at least learn something?" she asked and I shook my head.

"Vittore didn't get the answers he wanted but I think he found a loop hole around it, he hasn't told me his plan yet."

"Oh ok. I guess that's good enough," Faye murmured running her hands over the green sun dress she was wearing.
