Searching (Radiance)

[Jaxen Marveet]

Zoë Marveet

Zoe offered to shake hands with the cousin, who was promptly introduced as Carter. “I assume it’s Carter… Volthstrom?” She asked pointedly without being rude. Cousins didn’t exactly mean they had to resemble one another, which they didn’t, but they had the same bearing.

“Zoe Marveet,” she added just to see if the name might spark some recognition. “I heard you crashed my adopted father’s Patronage announcement, Carter.” She added a bit coyly. Even if the adopted-daughter wasn’t invited that night, gossip got around. Plus, Cyrena had been a bitch about her ankle ever since then and might have name dropped Carter a few times. Not that she wanted to talk about Cyrena. Speak her name too many times and she might appear.
