Keska shrugged.“I have purchased a few homes suitable for Kessie and you around the city, in case you ever wanted to stay for a while.”
He smiled.“Which we do.Now, where are we going?”
She stared at him.“Now?”
“Now.Right, Kessie?”
Keska nodded and said, “Let me get my bag.”
She ran into the house and into her lab, gathering piles of microgadgets and putting them into her crossbody bag.She hated running around the city without the means to defend herself.
Sorooth smiled when she came upstairs.“I am driving.”
Keska sighed.“Of course.”
Kessie grinned.“Can we go for dinner afterward?”
Keska checked her com, and there was room for them at the restaurant.“We absolutely can.Where did Jienne go?”
Sorooth smiled.“Emergency session with her therapist.I think they will get along well.”
Ava smiled.“We sent her off with our car service.She’s still staying here tonight.”
Keska nodded.“I will stay in my workshop again.She’s welcome to my wardrobe.”
Caska said, “We can put her in the guestroom, but everybody sleeps better in your room.”
“It’s the frequency generator.It’s embedded in the headboard, otherwise I don’t sleep.”
Ava blinked.“I didn’t know that.”
“I have nightmares now and then.It stops them from forming.”Keska shrugged.“She will need deeper and natural sleep later.”
Ava nodded.“Noted.How do we turn it off?”
“Put her in a different room.I fused the emitter to the headboard.”
Ava nodded.“Got it.”
“When is your assessment?”
“Tomorrow morning.”
“Do you want a ride?”
“I don’t want you going out of your way, Kes.”
“Not out of my way.I have an appointment there at eleven.I am following your example.”
Ava grinned.“Excellent.They won’t know what hit them.”
Caska grinned.“I am good with my legal talent on record.”
Keska nodded.
Sorooth said, “Well, since we have to see that house, can we go now?”
“Yup.Nigel, you have control of the homestead?”
