Elizabeth's posture changed slightly, indicating a subtle shift that Rex had learned to recognize as the specific adjustment she made when a topic emerged that she had been approaching but would have preferred to discuss on her own terms.

"The document, the relay structure, the name Solmordia, all of them," she said, setting the document on the table. "And when she gets to the section about the Balance Keeper, she's going to ask the obvious question."
"She will ask whether we have a name," Rex said.
"Yes," Elizabeth said.
"And she will also inquire about the circumstances under which the name was shared," she said carefully. "Kregg gave it at the end of a sustained interrogation."
"If she asks how far that interrogation went, and she will ask, I have to either answer accurately or construct a version that holds up under scrutiny." She paused. "I'm not built for the second one."
