“I didn’t wanna overload her with information!” Julia folded her arms. The two of them stood in her living room, the same one they’d grown up together in. She had since repainted and bought a new TV, but the way the late night shadows crawled along the walls was still immensely familiar to Asmeret.

“Julia!” Venom dripped from each syllable as it left Asmeret’s beak with a hiss. “And no I won’t go home. I came all the way here in the dead of night. I’m going to do my job.” They grabbed their cardigan with a huff.
