Broken Boulder who run the world? (girls)

Lanawyn felt similarly.  Although she did not experience the pressure of maintaining a sunny disposition since she hadn't ever shown one in the first place, she was able to commiserate with Lily for other reasons.

Namely, Alarian up and fucking disappearing all the time.  She wasn't angry per se, but she was getting kind of incomprehensibly anxious having to step up and be the big man all the time (even though the Sanctuary pretty much ran itself).  With the induction of Delight it seemed as if it'd all be over.  Which would be fine... if Delight had ever even met any of the Sanctuary's members.

So what, he brings someone home and just decides he's Chancellor now?  Whatever.  It wasn't Lanawyn's problem, and it was likely that nobody else even thought anything of it.  Again, the Sanctuary pretty much ran itself and rank didn't matter anyway.

Except for maybe — Lily, she breathed, you startled me.  I didn't see you there.
