    Summary

    The idle thought at the back of Glinda’s mind is that Nessarose never talked about her sister as beautiful.

    She shakes herself to stop those thoughts, knowing she can’t have them, and instead gives Elphaba a smile. “Congratulations,” she says sweetly. “Nessarose never told me how talented you were.”

    “Thank you,” Elphaba says, and takes a sip of her champagne. “So kind of you to come over when there are still reporters watching.”

    “I...I didn’t-”

    Summary

    ((SPOILERS THROUGH ACT 3))

    “It would seem our guardians are sloppy,” Shadowheart snarled, “since you have the energy to still cast spells.”

    The blade withdrew, and the prisoner’s breathing slowed - her blood, just as red and warm as Shadowheart’s own, pooled beneath her and slowly dripped off of the table onto the purple marble floor.

    “Your name,” Shadowheart snapped again.

    The prisoner hesitated.

    “Lae’zel,” she said.

    --

    Shadowheart's triumphant return with the Githyanki artefact is muted by a lukewarm reception - in her absence, apparently, the cloister had taken heavy losses from an apparent Githyanki assault. When the acolytes capture a Githyanki, they assign Shadowheart with ripping the truth from her lips.

    But something's wrong. The Githyanki seems... familiar, somehow. The Githyanki seems to know her in a way that's impossible - in a way that she can't remember being true.
