Chapter seven

If Jelly knew exactly what the Djinn had meant, she wasn't telling any of them at lunch. Troy kept looking at the girl, concerned it seemed to Kate, but not angry or suspicious. Given the timing of events, the Alede hand sign coming less than a minute after the warning from Yasmine, it seemed likely that the two were related, but the lines coming off of Troy didn't seem to be indicating the Mage at all and instead seemed focused almost exclusively off into the distance, splitting between three or four different factors.

Don watched her closely for a second, not picking up on exactly what she was thinking, it seemed, but instead watching how the energy flowed around the room and between the people seated, picking at and in a few places readily consuming, their food. Not having anything in particular to go on at the moment, the Human decided to hold back and wait for Kate to make a move. She knew this because he sent a line of focused thought at her, making this clear. The tendril that reached out to her had a purple hue, and felt friendly, if a little devoid of emotion.

Jelly managed to get her tears under control and told everyone that she had just been taken by surprise and that the warning probably had to do with her family issues, rather than anything more immediate. Though she certainly had enough new people around to learn to trust in, if that became an issue. She looked at Troy and held his gaze for a few seconds, telling him specifically that she'd be all right.

Kate noticed that this made Troy blink. That, at least made sense, given that the girl and he hadn't really met before, except in passing once or twice and today had been the longest they'd spent together. On top of that, the girl had seemed disinterested in him not ten minutes before, but now she seemed to be acting like they were old friends.

The twin Alede decided to try and turn the conversation to more fun topics and suggested that they all get together soon and have a party. Kate smiled herself when the idea was presented. As a rule, Alede loved parties. People did things at them they ordinarily wouldn't dream of, often in ways that were good for harvesting energy. When everyone said this sounded like fun, Kate got elected by a show of hands as the person that got to find a place for them to hold it. No one seemed surprised when she suggested the living room, since everyone was already staying in the same house, unless they managed to invite some new people.

Everyone that people thought should be invited already lived at the house or worked at the Mall at least. For instance, Chi the Bat or Birk the Trolleinkein, if they could dampen the scent of Alede enough. Don voted for Maryl, because she was cute, he told them winking at Kate when he said it, and of course Libby.
