Salat laughed.“Where are you going?”
“The dim sum place.Sorooth will meet us there in twenty.”
“Nice.Do you mind if Khytten and I pop by in forty minutes?”
“Are the kids with you?”
“Nope.Mom is taking them on a tour of the prefect’s offices for a few hours.Dad is there to help the nannies.”
Keska nodded.“Fine.I will tell Sorooth you are joining us.”
“I will do it.I am getting better at this communicating stuff.”
“See you there.”
Jienne followed her guidance, took turns in the ladies’ room in the workshop, then walked back into the bustling lobby, and Keska grinned.“I am hoping to bring her back today.She can check out the ins and outs of dealing with these enthusiastic clients.”
The clerk grinned and waved them off.
Jienne was still grappling with what Keska had said.They returned to the car and were soon on their way.Jienne had some things to think about.
Chapter Five
The hostess saw Keskaand smiled.“This way, miss.He’s waiting.”
Keska nodded to Jienne and gestured for her to go first after the hostess.
The man they walked toward was in a very large booth with a turntable in the centre of the booth.Sorooth got to his feet and shook Jienne’s hand.“So, you are the little wren who is hatching.”
“I don’t know what that means.”
Keska sighed.“New activation, Jienne.He means you need instruction.”
Jienne blinked.“Oh.Right.I suppose I do.”
He eased her into the booth and turned to face Keska.He took both of her hands in his and rubbed her knuckles with his thumbs.“I have missed you.”
