"To be honest," Oliver replied, looking Aith over. "Not with that outfit." Aith looked down at her hoodie and jeans, and shrugged. "But don't worry, you'll be good with Sky and I."

"Sky?" Aith questioned, knowing that this must've been the girl she'd seen the other day.

"She's a….friend of mine."

"You mean you're her familiar," Aithne whispered. His eyes widened as he looked at her.

"How did you…?" Aith simply lifted two fingers up to the base of her neck. Oliver lifted to touch where he'd been bitten, feeling slight indents. He could've sworn that they'd been invisible that morning. "But you know about Blue Bloods?"

"I am one." He nodded his head. "You're also her Conduit." He nodded his head.

"Can you read my mind?" he asked. She nodded. "Tell me what to do?" Knowing that most Blue Bloods at this age couldn't, she said no. He let out a deep sigh. "Sky's gonna have to know that you know about me."

"Why's that?"

"It's…complicated."

"You mean, if I tell someone, it'll become complicated." He nodded. "I won't tell anyone."

"Thanks. I mean it. If someone like Mimi knew…"

"Who's Mimi?" Aithne asked.

"You haven't met the Force twins?" Suddenly, it clicked.

"Blonde hair? Strikingly pretty?" He nodded. "I saw them, never met them though."

"You're better off that way," he informed her.

"Is that so? Are they really that awful?"

"Mimi is. Jack's almost as bad."

"Want to fill me in on the details?" Oliver hesitated for a moment.

"Yes," he replied decisively. "Mimi attempted to kill Sky because Sky and Jack have a little "thing" going. As if that weren't bad enough, when Mimi was sentenced to death for the attempt, Jack asked Sky to prove her innocent by drinking her blood. And Sky did, and Mimi still hates her."

"That sucks. I'd be worshipping the ground Sky walks on if that happened to me."

"I know, right!" Oliver agreed.

"But I think you're more upset with Jack than Mimi." Oliver gazed down at the floor, not looking up.

"How could he ask her to do that, you know? To risk her own life for someone who tried to kill her?"

"The Bible says to love our enemies," she replied. He looked up at her. "Blue Bloods are supposed to go back one day, it helps to know what He wants us to do." He nodded.

"I just…" He shook his head in frustration. "If I were in the position, I wouldn't have Sky do it."

"But you're not Jack. Jack had to choose between losing his sister or risking the girl he liked."

"True," Oliver agreed. "But I think there's more to Mimi and Jack's relationship than just being siblings."

"Of course, they're bonded, right?" He nodded. "They're meant to be together."

"But Jack has always had a thing for Sky, who's only a half-blood…Shoot, I wasn't supposed to tell anyone that." Aithne knew that she had him in the palm of her hand. He was telling her everything that she'd need to know in order to get close to the Blue Blood Committee.

"Don't worry, you're secrets safe with me. What kind of half-blood is Sky?" she inquired curiously.

"What do you mean what kind of half-blood? Half human, half Blue Blood is the only type, right?"

"Definitely." She needed to cover up the tracks, but do it slowly, as not to seem like she was rushing. "But where I came from, some people said that there were Blue Bloods mixing with angels."

"Angels and Blue Bloods?" he questioned.

"Well, we did come from Heaven. Is it really that strange to think of the two mixing?"

"No…" he replied. "No, it's not."
