Vin's Rules (Outer Settlement Agency)
“As Allie straightened her dress and walked outside with Vin, the idiotic thought occurred to her that she didn’t know him. The more quiet, yet supremely rational side reminded her that she’d never bothered to learn.
For the first week she’d known him, she’d followed him around the base, omnitablet in hand, looking for ways to lay marks against his personnel record.
Now what would she say? That the man was a quiet hero, hidden below a gallivanting, smiling mask?
She wove her arm through his, too... ashamed to look up as her feet shuffled along the wooden sidewalk. Maybe it wasn’t a mask but just him, and as it turned out, just him wasn’t so bad after all.
Just him was not only working out how to save their butts but had been both smart and generous enough to use her in the process. He didn’t have to. A lesser person of his speed and skill could have snuck out and made a run for it alone.
Or worse.
She didn’t give credit for being decent. Everyone had an obligation for that.MoreLess
