Kiss! "And maybe Gwen's luck will kick in, and Andromeda will think you're her wayward daughter."

"How's that supposed to be luck?"

"...Might take her longer to think to go after mum."

"Oh."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

"Maybe we can - encourage her to conclude that, somehow?"

"I have been hiding who my family is. Maybe we could get Daniella to 'accidentally' drop something about me saying I don't want to go back to the New York seniors?"

"Especially if we read her in... And since the enclaves are trying to poach us, Dani could also tell them that it's you insisting on not joining New York specifically..."

"Muddy the waters a bit."

Serious nod. "Yeah."

"Sounds like a good plan." Kiss.

Kiss!

And snuggle sleep? 

Yep. El's gonna snuggle her sister all night long.

Excellent. (She even falls asleep at one point, wonder of wonders, though she still wakes up well before her sister.)

Mm. Good. They should do this every night now.

Definitely. 

Kiss!

Time to get another day started.

'By El's side' is a perfect start. 

Unfortunately they don't have all their classes together...

They can play with their schedule for next year. 

Could be the collar works in their favor there too.

It'd be especially important with seminars...

For sure.

They'll work it out.

Kiss! Yeah. 

In the meantime: their current classes (and setting up the auction, and figuring out what they want to come clean about to Dani, how much, and how to go about it).

Shinta seems to be doing well with the auction set-up, El will let her handle the work there. She and Lu will be ready for a demonstration when required, though she does note Daniella's estimate of time to learn.

As for talking to Dani... She seems- trustable. The only thing El isn't sure about is her ability to lie.

...Yeah.

Maybe start small?
