Allori cut him off with a frown. “Your best source of that information is standing beside you.”
Selena trod lightly. Carefully. “We haven’t had much opportunity to put our heads together,” she said, saving face for Dobry—for if he’d listened to her, if he’d truly believed her capable in her legate posting here, he’d have known better.
“Ah.” Allori nodded his understanding. “As for the other, you have my complete cooperation. Things out of the ordinary it is.” He drummed his fingers on the desk, one quick riff and then silence. “As delighted as I am to see you, Selena, I’m surprised to find them asking this of you. And without official cover, unless I’m mistaken.”
“Don’t worry about me, Dante.” Selena couldn’t hide her grim response, not entirely. “I would have volunteered for this one, given a chance.”
At that, Allori’s perceptive gaze narrowed slightly. He knew Selena chose her words with care, and that they were to be plumbed for significance…and that whatever was happening, it was of personal importance to her. So again he nodded, and then he turned on his public persona for Dobry’s benefit. “Have you eaten yet? I know of a place you might find interesting.”
