A thought that might make it into the next chapter:

okay so the alfar have super-good hearing, an incredibly paranoid and backstabby culture, and no concept of romance; they have a lot of sex, but it’s brief and brutal and emotionless.

For all her relative niceness and stolen human memories, Agent First really isn’t going to be used to sleeping with someone else in the room, is she?

I mean Alex isn’t either, but he didn’t grow up in a “single-minded deathmarch” of nasty GoT style infighting, did he now?

Some time in the first week of their confinement Alex rolls over in his sleep or goes to snuggle his adorable sleepy fairy princess or w/e and Cassie, her Host instincts assuming he’s there to assassinate her, proceeds to jolt awake, scream, and punch him in the solar plexus
