#in which The Faber and Efnisien Comedy Show intersects sharply with

[not-poignant]

Daily excerpt from chapter 78 of Underline the Black:

'Would you want to do it again? Spend the day with Faber sometimes? Or visit Marikit or Lachlan?'  'Maybe,' Efnisien said. 'I mean, yeah, I liked doing- I liked doing stuff with Faber. Please don't...do anything bad to him. This is the kind of thing you would have done eventually anyway, right? Don't like... don't be that guy who gets really upset because he's a peak alpha and wants to be in control all the time.' Faber made a sound, like a quickly hidden laugh. When Efnisien looked at him, his hand was covering his mouth and he looked shocked at himself.  'I am a peak alpha,' Gary said, 'and I do need to be in control often.'  'Okay,' Efnisien said quickly, 'so you took control by letting Faber look after me for the day, and Faber made this decision, which still kind of happened under the umbrella of your control?'  Gary stared at him, then he looked at Faber. 'I see you're both well-suited to being co-conspirators.'
