Linden was talking about her? She seems a little surprised to hear it, though not unhappy about it. At least if she had ever shown up in the 6 suite Steven would know who she was. It also would make it easier to consult Stephen if there were anymore incidents like the one the night before her first Arena, though she hopes to hell and back that it never happens again.

Why Linden mentioned her is less surprising. Her smile becomes a little more gentle, and she takes a sip of coffee as she writes.

they're children. someone should be looking out for them.
Linden gets more done than I do.
