Thanks. Lia is actually soft by nature, but her experiences make her cold.

Oh trust me, there's more. Checkov is the devil in disguise. Not as bad as Issack though, he just kinda flaunta it I see.

Oh, that would be interesting. Kat and Atty dining with the elders and Checkov and Issack. Because you know, Atticus won't let Kat go alone. And we could see how Atricus reacts to he and Kat being alone with them, and knowing Lia (and likely Mitch) wont be coning in ay all. And theyd get to meet the asshole, I mean Issack. 

And Checkov is always up to something. ;) nothing bad for now though, I promise. He just want a to feel out how things could go for his special announcement at the ball. Because I figure by now the decision has been made and they are just figuring arrangements, hence the more frequent meetings 

At least that's how I see it
