Bella is allowing a book to be written about her. She's given plenty of interviews for shorter articles, but at this time she thinks she (and Slipstick thinks she) has the measure of this particular author well enough to expect even a book-length piece to be neither a hatchet job nor an inconvenient exposé. They are having regular meetings, in the journalist's home, talking about what Bella's willing to reveal about magic, the death date prior to which she won't resurrect anyone 'just yet', and the ground rules of Saturn.

...Ripper laughs.
It's only a pentagon to make a little violin appear, about an inch long, hovering in the air and playing very very quiet sad music.

She squeezes his hand, then sighs and floats into his chair and wedges herself in beside him.

"I suppose me locating him and telling him off wouldn't accomplish anything."
