Summary
“Think about it, Johanna,” Emmrich murmured against the shell of her ear. “Why would the Mourn Watch send me all the way to Cumberland to meet with you? It hardly befits my reputation to be seen consorting with a known heretic.”
In response, Johanna shoved him lightly in the chest. “Fuck you, Volkarin.”
But her hand lingered, and she was smiling.
Or: A worried Emmrich checks in on Johanna shortly after her expulsion from the Mourn Watch only to discover she has plans of her own.

Bookmarker's Notes
They share parents, a birthday, an age, shared the same bedroom until they were eleven. She even shares a name with him, really. Because they were never Bethany Hawke or Carver Hawke; they were always Bethany-and-Carver. Part of a set.

Petr Vectern is fine - if by fine, you mean stumbling through cabinet meetings with a raging hangover, dodging judgemental glances and that one impossible scenario regarding Anton's secretary.
And the fact that he might be hallucinating Anton Rayne, standing on a rooftop, telling him not to jump.
