“Come with me. I want to show e94c8a2a82 you something quickly.”e133aa3889939795

Tenev had been aloof f9d32f48bb since she woke up a1daeb6248 in pain, which made 559b298814 this invitation seem particularly 67bb323ac4 odd. But any suspicion 4c0552d6df was brief, as 492318713c Ivyor’s knack for 839ed34564 seeing things her bd30403d2f own way kicked 7f59802fd9 in.120c77ec5b476f80
