“Oh, no biggie. Alice, right?” Her informality took me a little by surprise.
I matched her informal tone. “That’s me and you are the future luna of Blue Crescent, correct?”
Brook wrinkled her nose. “Yeah, that’s what they call me, but can you please just use my name - Brook. I know you all think of it as some kind of honor, but honestly, it just makes me feel like a trophy girlfriend or something.”
And it was wordy, I thought with a grin. Before I could tell her no problem, someone on her end said loudly, “You all? Did you forget you’re one of us again, Brookie? Really, you’re going to hurt my feelings!”
