That also. Did not work very well. Especially when it was Vaughn finding information.
Not because she had a problem with him getting information. It was just...she was active and by his side looking for information back in Ceiori. Even if he'd been the one to find most of it, anyway. The point was...
She wasn't even by his side helping this time, and that just.
Really stuck out.
It was really frustrating.
