[ Recognition like a jolt: Enri's spoken at length with her. (How much does she know? It doesn't, really, matter.)
He'd had an inkling. After what Enri had said about Lydia being on his side (whatever the meant, precisely) (Darius doesn't need anybody anywhere near his side, doesn't require any fucking defenders) (still, it's worth noting, and recalling). And given Lydia's subtle keenness. But it's strange to think of anybody knowing the terms of their agreement. (How much does she know, precisely?) Darius doesn't quite like it. Darius grits his teeth. But ultimately, there can be no harm in her having heard, or in Enri having told.
(If any other Puppies had spoken the details of their contracts, there would have been some minor hell to pay.) ]
No; that boy won't bend beyond his wishes.
Enri possesses [ ... ] an uncommon strength of conviction.
