Azura Loring: smiles as sweetly as possible and shrugs
Edward Hyde: Kasa told most everyone at the hospital she had to chase down a little runt carrying bottles like these.
Azura Loring: Mason jars, very common tings
Edward Hyde: Mason jars filled with deadly cobewbs?
Azura Loring: Dey were gonna do bad tings with ’em.
Edward Hyde: … Really?
Azura Loring: nods

Edward Hyde: Like I said, Beryl mentioned the angels.
Azura Loring: Beryl knows lots, aye.
Azura Loring: Da las’ time da angels got mad they ended an empire. They can do it again.
Edward Hyde: But for the life of me, I cannot imagine anyone at the hospital who would care for using the webs to catch “Cloud angels.”
Azura Loring: The hospital, maybe not, but knowledge be power, and der no such thing as secret which las’ to long
