That idiot Squalo tried pulling one over on me earlier! I can't believe the gall of that bastard. I had to throw him into that book case over there before he learned his fucking lesson.
[She helpfully points to the book case in question, which looks fine, while Squalo is probably not.]
...Squalo? [Luci looks floored, but after a beat she can't say she's totally unsurprised. He had an incredibly hard head, and he could be truly idiotic when he thought he had something to gain. In this case, apparently, it was gambling with Lesedi Santiago.]
[Luci feels a brief flash of fury, and thoughts of punishment for calling out bullshit leave a bad taste in her mouth. But those quiet down very quickly, not just because she's naked in Lesedi's bed but... something else tells her to be quiet.]
I'm surprised, he can be thick-headed and can say some stupid shit. Why did you make an exception?
