[That. That's the thing she knew but wasn't saying.]
I haven't told Eleanor or Phi either. Nor was I planning to tell you. First of all, it's not my news to tell. It's Edna's.
[Which is how Velvet assumes he learned about it.]
Secondly, what good does it do to tell you? Eizen ended up a dragon and there's nothing we can do about that except go around being sad about it. [But Velvet figures that Eizen ended up a dragon on his own terms and not someone else's.] He's always done what he wants and I doubt it was any different then.
The other two don't need to know, they'll handle the news worse than you are.
