Interest piqued, Febs tried to downplay it, but wasn't so sure she'd be any good at it. He had the annoying knack of seeing right through her sometimes. She leaned back a little to loop her arms around his neck, pressing up against him in an attempt to use some subtle persuasion. "Oh she did? Anything good?" She quirked one eyebrow expectantly, though smiled a little hoping to feign nonchalance.

Whatever it was Miss Valentine had to say to Edric, it wasn't like Febs was going to put any stock into it. Honestly. What self-respecting woman would go on the word of some woman she'd never met and who knew nothing about the situation? (Thank Merlin!) Febs realized briefly that her sister likely would, but Febs had never and would never be that naive. September was a sweet girl but Febs was made of stronger stuff and had opinions on her own life, unlike some girls her age.
