She knew the name Blake Schmidt - she made it her business to know the names of all the big financial names in the city. But she hadn’t heard of the Elite. Another thing to remember and look into. Perhaps she should ask Ezra… perhaps. Something to put to the back of her mind for now. [color=9966CC]”Long winded as it was, I agree with everything Jack said,”[/color] Anya nodded. [color=9966CC]”Dare we forget that Luna’s ‘associates’ tried to pull teenagers into the criminal underground ten years ago? Perhaps they’ve changed, but it doesn’t scream trustworthy. It’s not a plan we can just accept. Nor can we just jump in guns blazing, as Ken suggests.”[/color] She paused, smiling, before she continued. [color=9966CC]”Adora is completely right. We need a solid plan and concrete information. Taking chances has already lost us too many.”[/color] [color=9966CC]”I do believe you, of course, Luca,”[/color] Anya said smoothly, before turning her gaze to Luna and Greyson. [color=9966CC]”But I would like to see this proof. Bringing up Layla’s problem is meant as a distraction, and it does make it harder to trust you, Tsukino. We need to properly verify this information and your trustworthiness. Cold, hard proof. You’d be willing to show that, wouldn’t you, Greyson?”[/color] She spoke neutrally, with a hint of coldness. It was fake, of course - a projected frigidness to keep up the appearance they weren’t on good terms. It was best that way, in public. Made it much easier to work together behind the scenes. Of course, she assumed- trusted- that Greyson had this proof and a reason for using it to bring Luna back in. She was giving him a solid in to show and use it for that end.
