XViv: Riley? I don't --
Zia: He's getting a bit above himself, isn't he? Bothering the kind of people who expect not to be bothered. Pushing into places he has no right. I'm sure you know what I'm referring to.
Viv: No
Zia: Then I suggest you find out. You understand your position here, Doctor. You do your work, keep your head down, stay safe. Communicate that sense of self-preservation to your husband.
Viv: We don't talk about work.
Zia: Then there are many candidates for a job like yours who do have influence with their friends and family. Doctors who can offer the Board something more useful than a knack for keeping patients alive. I'm sure you understand me.
Viv: (quietly)Yes.
Zia: Then I won't distract you further from your surgery. I know these things matter to you. Have a pleasant afternoon, Dr. Garrett.
Zia: T-there, Harvey. Happy? I did my p-part. And from now on you can just leave me out of the dirty work.

In Ketterdam, money is not king. Money is God. God doesn't love people like Kaz Brekker -- but Kaz knows how to bring the God of Ketterdam to heel. All it needs is one impossible heist.

A nice cheerful page for new readers to come in on! That's right, this week one of the SpiderForest Comics of the Week is, well, me. But no fear, there's two other fabulous culture-building comics for you to visit:
Leylines by Robin Childs - When an irresponsible prince, his dream-weaving sister, and their adopted brother are given a mission by a voiceless goddess of dreams, they will be forced to choose between their future and their family.
The Ferrin by Alyssa Laraine Steele - All Elanor wanted to do was finish her Thesis project. Looks like she's going to have a lot more to write about than just the Ferrin's social behavior if she ever gets to finish it.
