He chuckled and moved his hand from her thigh to rub her back.“I know.Caska told me about it in depth.”
She sighed.“And Avagail set the pricing based on the housing and medical treatment.Plus, the maternity wardrobe.”
He rubbed her back again.
Kessie looked at them and smiled.“They have pictures together until they are holding me.”
Khytten blinked and wiped away a tear.“That is so sweet.”
Sorooth smiled.“Neither of us regretted her, so we wanted her to be celebrated.We meet in Daycross four times a year, but now, we can see her much more often.”
Keska grinned.“That we can, but I still own the house on Daycross.”
Kessie smiled.“I made a friend there, so that is good.”
Sorooth nodded.“Lii.Vallu’s niece.”
“Oh.Right.Khytten knows Vallu.”
Khytten grinned.“The family is very nice.Val is a healer, and she was number five on the capitol roster.”
Kessie looked at her.“What number were you?”
“Um, Eleven.”
Keska chuckled.
Nelith asked, “Keska, what number were you?”
“Um, I was before numbers.I was Escort Tek.There were three of us.Tek, Tal, Tak.”
Nelith laughed.“Really?All Uraddan?”
“Yup.You should ask Zera about how the BDC got its start.It was not a one-woman show.”She looked at Sorooth and said, “Ready to travel?”
He nodded and left to pay.
Keska looked at Jienne.“Enjoying being around actives in a family?”
“Yup.You were right.Pushing you was not a great idea.”
“Yes.Next time you get to find out how close me and Nelith actually are.”
Kessie whispered, “Can you do the thing?”
She folded a napkin quickly and handed it to Keska.She looked at the paper and started to flick her fingers, and when she was done, there was a strand of snowflakes.
Nelith stared at her with her mouth open.“You have blades?”
Keska winked.
Nelith looked at Salat.“Where are we going?”
He laughed.“I know the house well.”
Keska looked to Nelith.“May I have your com code?I can send you the address.”
They opened their coms and did an exchange of data.“Oh, nice rings.”
