Ted narrowed his eyes.
The person coming towards him was not a man, but she definitely walked like one. It was Zerielle. She was not part of the geometry group, or at least she did not have the visual signifiers needed to clock her as one of those ladies.
Ted got up and motioned towards her so that she knew that it was safe to come to him.
She was a delightful woman with good opinions and many skills, and if she was also an independent strategist who did not take directions from her mother, she could, in fact, be very valuable to the high cor.
"Zerielle," Ted greeted her. It was quite a peculiar thing that he had not instantly recognized her. Did she have the ability to imitate other people?
"Ted. It has been a rough time, but I did bring you something to eat. Berries and ham. You have lost a lot of weight lately."
"Thank you. I have no idea what I would have done without you."
