"Hey, Captain Mood Swing," Keefe said, gently grabbing her arm. He sighed when she didn't smile. "Look, I get what you're feeling. Shoot, I can feel what you're feeling—and I don't blame you. At all. But remember what we're trying to do here. We want to fix Alden, right?" 

The last of her anger cooled as she nodded. Shame swelled in its place.

"Hey—no feeling guilty either. You have a right to be seriously ticked. And as soon as this is done, you and I are going to put our heads together and figure out how to send the Black Swan a few secret messages of our own—preferably covered in glittery poop. But in the meantime I think we need to do what they say."

"Yeah," she mumbled, unclenching her fists and staring at the red dent where the alicorn pin she'd been squeezing had cut into her palm.
