There weren't many words that you could say to Marlowe that would have struck her so harshly. Her fists tightened into balls, and she seriously considered pouncing the elf - not for fun, but to give her something to remember! "You know what? I think that's a great idea! Shouldn't be hard to find someone who finishes what they start. Your parents are going to be so disappointed when you let them down too."

Her jaw tensed tightly. So tight that it felt it might snap. Marlowe didn’t know the full story but her words tore through her spine, crowding into her lungs and making her blood run cold. “Shut up.” She muttered softly before snapping her head around to look at Marlowe. “Shut up, Marlowe. You should never have followed me up that tree.” She scowled at the woman, her shimmer bubbling her sleeve around her left arm. Cold sharp eyes fixed on Marlowe for a brief moment before she turned and stalked away.

Estelle stared down at her phone, Thessa's guidance sitting at the forefront of her mind. Hulta might have a lead on Kim'Bee? Or at least a step towards one? It meant everything, and it was not an opportunity she could let slip through her fingers. So she shot out the text.

Hey... I know this is random, but I heard we have a shared interest in Kim'Blee Crimson? idk if this is a private in that you have or not, but I'd love to maybe connect the dots?

Hulta was half way up a tree when the text message came in. She managed to wrap her legs around a hefty branch and wriggled her phone out to look at the screen. Meree seconds after the message was registered, Hulta phoned Estelle. She had dropped to another branch and was sitting cross legged after scanning her surroundings to make sure there weren’t any spy pigeons.

“Hi.” She said with her hand half covering the phone like that would protect her from any nosy people. “I do have an interest in the KBC….But we can’t talk about it like this. We need to keep things secret.” She was acting like a spy but in her mind this was warranted. “I could meet you somewhere…to talk….I know a place.”

Estelle almost jumped at the immediate ringtone that went off, her phone vibrating in her hand with Hulta's name flashing across the screen. She looked over her shoulder, ducking into a hallway that was far quieter than the one she'd begun in. Shakily clicking the answer button, she pulled the phone up to her ear with wide eyes. Hunching over as if that would make things more secret, she immediately echoed Hulta's greeting with another "Hi."

Eyes peered left and right, she nodded despite the fact that Hulta couldn't see her. "Right, yes, secret. Thank you, yes. Where? When? I'll be there."

Hulta crowded her hand around the bottom of her phone as she tried to hide her words from anyone that could be listening in. “Yes. Secret. I…I will meet you tomorrow at 10am….at You Knead It. It’s a bakery!” Hulta told Estelle with a small smile. “I will tell you more then!” She waited for confirmation before hanging up.

Her fingers flew through her phone contacts and she instantly started to ring Koko. Her body still in the same hunched position as she had been when calling Estelle. “Hermana…it’s Twigs. Can you talk?”

Lips pressed into a thin line of focus as Hulta spoke, committing to memory the time, the name of the bakery. Nodding her head, "Yes, OK, I'll be there!" But then before she hung up, quickly, she blurted, "Thank you!" And then she clicked off the call and hugged her phone to her chest with a breath. Tomorrow it was!
