Kiden was kind of flabbergasted. Villiers, she thought, you sucker. And he was, to her at least. Why on Earth would he give that much of a shit in the first place--she knew it wasn't an act, she could see it in his eyes from this close--and why would he even tell them about it? Was he actively looking for them to do it again? He was opening the door wide open!

She resisted the temptation to let her shock register on her face. Instead, she just shrugged. His call, after all.
