"Hey, you've reached Gray, I'm...probably asleep right now. Leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can."

*BEEP*

Especially people who were totally human.

"Yeah," she said. And then, "Everybody knows. At least in Midnight. I, uh. Nearly made a tornado in the house, I guess."

Of course Arden cared about Midnight's feelings! It was a very good house.

"I meant that people...people saw. And even if we could convince people to believe that the whole digging the nails out of my arm thing could happen to anybody, I don't think they'll buy that. So, yeah. My whole house knows I'm not normal."

Because she'd been so super-good at hiding it.

"I'm not okay. Not really. Not on a bunch of levels."

"Alastair?" Arden squeaked. "Why? I'm really safe here, I promise!"

That hadn't happened in Midnight, it had happened in the junkyard! Super-different.

"Oh. I didn't know that." Because you weren't a Nephilim specialist, Arden. "He won't mind you asking?"

Also, real quick, was that isolation Laz's fault? Asking for a friend.

Lazarus was...what? That doesn't seem right.

"...Oh," Arden said again. This time she sounded absolutely flummoxed. "You and your brothers are all...very, very good people."

She just had to sit with this for a few seconds.

"I don't know how to handle this all sometimes. People being good like this." To her. "I never learned."

Maybe he could learn that his pickup lines were bad.

"I know, I just...flail around a lot right now, trying to figure out how to handle it. I think...oh, I think I see your brother." Arden was going to very properly look down at the blanket so she didn't end up checking out Alastair's chest when he got close enough.

GRAY AND HIS BROTHERS WERE HOT DON'T BLAME HER, OKAY?

"I'll let you go? Sorry for calling--" like a monster "--but thanks."
