Hi Eugene,

He doesn't say to Keira that Sethra would know, it's a comment to the reader.

Regards

Really? I think it makes a *different* kind of sense.

Vlad asks a question.
Kiera says she doesn't know.
Vlad says his friend Sethra would know.

That seems to make sense to me from an uninformed perspective. If you
know that Sethra == Kiera, then you ALSO know that Vlad means
something quite different from what the text on the page says: He's
(mistakenly) asking her to drop her guise and just answer the damn
question.

Maybe I am misremembering or misunderstanding.
