“The swelling should be down by morning,” Siri says, cuts off any heckling before anyone can add anything not the conversation. “Please don’t resort to violence as a way to solve disputes in the future, the fewer injuries we have because of each other, the better we’ll do against anyone else.”
“Won’t do any better if they have guns,” Twist replies. Barely glances up from her plate, looks to Siri, not Lucinda.
“Please keep the infighting to a minimum,” Siri replies, sets her jaw, looks up to meet Twist’s gaze.
