Sometimes no news is good news. Alicia does not know how to react to hearing that whatever they have on him has been wiped so she picks up her coffee and stares at the oiliness on the surface and the steam rising up off of it and breathes that in. Swallows down whatever her next question was going to be. Nothing else for her to ask.
Which brings us to Grace's confession. The secret network and the people who want to chew her out and the people who've chewed out Elijah. What Elijah's told everyone. She frowns and she thinks back to a conversation she had the past weekend. How it was Kalen knew to tell Elijah not to go rushing off to rescue her father.
At least she lets Grace finish. Her anxiety and her anger are contained things. She's getting better at not exploding the instant the catalyst introduces itself to her system.
"... he told everyone what I told him?" That puts the nail in the did he have permission coffin. Alicia sighs and rummages through her handbag until she finds a rumpled five-dollar note and tosses it on the table. Slides out of her seat. "Yeah. That's fucking fantastic, alright."
She doesn't bother with a farewell. She doesn't need one to walk away from the table.

Look. I have school. And RP. And all my other time is taken up by sheer, unreasoning panic. I don't have time for Reddit.
