That was the impression I was given. 'Bout the Girl, I mean. But fuck if I know. I do know he's the Alpha, which gives him authority as a blanket thing. [Sweeney exhales.]

But I would suggest talkin' ta Lark 'bout this shit. 'Cause I don't fuckin' know, an' I got reason ta think Iris doesn't either. An' that's what has me pissed the fuck off. I feel like her knowin' basics like Rules an' Rituals is a pretty fuckin' low bar. [However, there's a fact that doesn't change, and his voice calms again.]

I have no right or place ta ask about any of it. But you do. Lark may tell you ta fuck off, but at least then he'll have ta say it to yer face an' not get off on yer ignorance.
