Thankfully, no one Zoya happens to know from home is around, or she'd cross her arms and pretend she was giving the orders. (Appearances are important! She can't be seen going soft.) However, she does stop assisting for a moment. She can return to helping later; talking to someone who may be able to provide further clarity on… anything is the priority.

She doesn't need to ask anything further about storms. Zoya's seen firsthand what damage they can do; she's been the conductor of many of them, after all. But the mention of this Singularity is one she can't pass up.

Noting the men's reaction to him, she ignores them for now. They've been kind enough, but none have been particularly forthcoming.

"Does this Singularity throw a lot of fits?"
