A few hours earlier….

 

“She’s waving at me.”

 

“She’s what?”

 

“Waving. At me. ”

 

Alura t’Prin turned to glance at the monitor positioned in front of her surveillance tech. There, across the busy street was the Talon’s Daise’Maenak, io hand on her hip, the other io waving her shadow on to catch up. She could almost hear the woman’s toes tapping impatiently. It was a struggle na to burst out laughing at her dark rinam Kal t’Sahen as she responded. “I think I like this io.”

 

“Au would.” Kal responded flatly.

 

“Rinam, au sound bitter.” Alura smirked to herself as she adjusted the contrast of the monitor against the protests of the tech manning the station.

 

“Should au na have sent the new io to do this…this…this babysitting?”

 

“But au are so good at it.”

 

The scowl on Kal’s face was present in her voice, “If au are mad at me for some reason….”

 

“This has nothing to do with my emotional state or how I feel about au. Au know that.”

 

“Then why did au send *me* to watch *her*.”

 

“Because.” Alura purred.

 

“Because why?”

 

“Because I said so.”

 

“Oh hnaev.”

Morgana maintained her stoic expression even as she left the hearing rooms, through Galae Medical halls, out the compound gates and into the hired flitter. Only when she was safely ensconced in the vehicle did she allow herself to melt into a puddle of exhaustion.

 

“Destination?”

 

Ksa struggled to comprehend the most simple of questions. An awkward pause preceded her response. Numbly she rattled off the address of the apartment building she was staying in during the duration of the investigative sessions. She then sat back and stared mindlessly out the window.

 

She did na have to turn around to know she was being followed. She’d been leading a fvadt parade through the city for the past thi hours.

 

I just want to go home. She sighed, watching the city pass by in a blur. As a young girl she’d had reveled in the energy and light of the city during the family’s annual sojourn to the Capital. It was so different than her home, she’d felt as if she’d entered a different world altogether. As a cadet, she’d spent much of her free time exploring nearly every neighborhood within walking distance of the Phi’lasasam, gleefully getting lost in the rhythm and pulse of everything around her. Today, however, she felt as if those same energies were drumming her into the ground.

 

Yet she was stuck here until the Galae released her from further interrogations.

 

The flitter glided effortlessly to the curb signaling Morgana’s re-entry into the chaos surrounding her. She tipped the driver and stepped out cautiously lest she loose her babysitters. Na sudden movements from this Maenak.

 

Stopping only to pick up a take-away dinner, she proceeded up to her quarters. Alone, much to her own disappointment.

 

Little did she know she would na be alone for long.
