Yes and no. She did want to confirm that information, but she already suspected that he didn’t own that brothel. XY used that question as an excuse to meet with XL to try to diffuse his remaining anger with her after her charcoal shenanigans at their last meeting, and she succeeded. Which is why she was so happy after that meeting despite being injured.
The trash talk about XL at the beginning of the scene before XL arrived was not in the novel. They added that for the drama. But she did trash talk Furball when he came to her and she asked him to arrange the meeting with XL, and they cut that from the drama. They also took away the comments she made after the encounter to a “startled chipmunk” that helped explain what she was up to. I’m on mobile rn but I can post the excerpts later. Those moments kind of make me miss cheeky WXL.
Yeah, I thought it was kind of weird that she thought XL would own a brothel. Ahhh. I'm not sure why I didn't connect the face drawing incident with this meeting. It also explains the tree branch breaking.
I think they did film that exchange with Furball. There was a clip I saw, that had XL talking to Furball, while he was sitting at a desk in the camp. But I didn't remember seeing that scene in the show.
That would be great! Thank you!
