Arriane

Quote 1

Arriane shrugged and produced a giant bag of popcorn from her carpetbag. "I can only look after so many new students," she said, tossing a buttery kernel at Luce. "Lucky you." (5.69)

Not only can Arriane get access to things that the other students might not—like the popcorn, for instance…probably courtesy of Roland or Cam—but she also chooses whom she'll trust with her information and her attention. By inviting Luce into her social circle, she's making her privy to the secret parts of Sword & Cross.

"Callie," she said, sighing into the phone, "I gotta go. I'll call again as soon as—" But by then there was just the vague buzz of a dial tone in her ear. The phone itself had been rigged to cap each call at fifteen minutes. Now she saw the tiny timer blinking 0:00 on its base. They hadn't even gotten the chance to say goodbye and now she'd have to wait another whole week to call. Time stretched out in Luce's mind like an endless gulf. (5.29)

It stinks to have limited phone time. Sometimes you just want to chill on the phone with your BFF and chat about all the things that are going on in your life, especially when you're in a new place with no one else to talk to. Luce, we feel your pain.
