Pssst, Pied mentioned her name in my second post. :)

The query took Pied by surprise, as it seemed not only like a non sequitur but also uncomfortably intuitive. She blinked, wondering what on earth to say in response. She shook her head lightly, deciding to answer the parts of the question she could honestly and skirt around the rest.
