Spoilers welcome! What plot threads are you hoping come up in the latest chapter?
I really hope Titus and the Raven Queen get to meet. Maybe in an informal meeting where she “randomly” hears about his desire to meet and just visits him some night.
Although thats not all that likely with how low profile she wants to stay.
But I love how their modus operandi for a random encounter is no longer a “try to catch” but basically just a “please let us leave while we make a token effort to ask you to come with us”
Well, I was secretly hoping for Lacer’s thought on the latest Myrddin info drop but I’d settle for Ana’s POV next chapter
I’m trying to think what she’d get out of meeting with Titus.
No one believes she stole the book out of coincidence and trying to clear her name feels futile (sigh) and maybe even counter productive considering how much her reputation has actually managed to get her out of tricky situations.
But I feel like a warming of relations between her and the coppers would improve things. Especially if she could contribute by helping him reduce patrols in certain areas so he can focus on others (but that would involve working with criminal or near criminal groups and borders on sedition).
Still, it’s an intriguing prospect. I’m looking forward to the lunch!
I think someone said, very early in a comment on this story, that the Raven Queen is going to end up being a Batman-like figure. All she needs to do now is save some coppers to convince them that she is fighting for good, and the coppers get a mysterious way to signal her …
She can give Titus a drink coaster with her mark to allow him to contact her…ie Bat Signal,
Or btter yet The Raven Signal … than Damien will see it and think Titus is part of the thirteen point star group…
?
On rereading I noticed this little tidbit:
“Fake? ” Damien was more discomfited by this surprise than he would have expected, though he wasn’t sure why.
He is confused. He has not had the benefit of Lacer teaching him to latch on to that confusion.
But if he did…Sebastien told him about the ring. Sebastien was there when they cracked the safe. Sebastien handled that ring box.
I wonder if Damien’s subconscious caught that and is trying to send him a little message.
I wonder if he’ll receive it.
