Her heart did a little leap for joy when she read the beginning of that last entry....at least until he noted that she was in love with him. Ilassa had honestly thought she was more adept at concealing her true feelings. This wasn't limited to her feelings with Laskey, either. Assuming she had to enter into negotiations with a particularly vile emissary from another realm, she needed to conceal her disdain as well. The whole East Wonderland incursion demonstrated that she hadn't done a very good job of that, either.

But then again, the General had taught her contemporary human colloquialisms such as Poker face and Playing your cards close to the vest

However, the whole part about having to 'tell her' left her intrigued. Was he trying to suppress a declaration of love- one that would get him in trouble with his superiors in the HLF? Or was he trying to find a way to tell her that it could never work out because there was someone else in his life?

The worst part was that she simply couldn't ask him directly. Doing so would tip her hand that she had been reading through Laskey's personal journal- something he wouldn't appreciate.

She continued reading, her vanity hoping that she would see her name mentioned more and more often
