Shvosi and Aizshuss had arrived before them and were comfortably ensconced in a back parlor. When Khassis arrived, their UâChurian hosts brought refreshing drinks to suit each palate. While Shvosi spread the delicacies she and Aizshuss had bought on the low table, Azwokkus presented his homekeeper with the gift of the crystal.
Once their hosts had retreated, Khassis started their meeting.
âGetting all Reformists and Moderates together not possible without drawing attention, so we leaders of the parties meet in privacy. Kuvaa, you here as concerns you deeply. You are handler of Giyarishis.â
âZaimiss set the topic deviously so Reformists not all be there,â hummed Azwokkus. âThis decision must not stand.â
âAgreed, but legal number present, I could not stop the vote.â
âSo what we do now?â asked Shvosi, picking up a piece of fruit to nibble on.
âWe have Kuvaa tell Giyarishis why he must not follow orders of Camarilla, that it not representative decision.â said Khassis.
Kuvaa stirred at this and looked at the TeLaxaudin female. âI am unsure what is right here, Skepp Lady,â she said, dipping her head deferentially. âI swore to uphold decisions of Camarilla, and this was one. Like you, I not like it, think wrong, but . . .â
âReticence does you credit,â said Khassis. âPotentialities do not favor our intervention in so terminal a manner. If we do, disaster for us it predicts. Zaimiss blind to this in desire to cut ties to younger worlds and isolate us.â
âIs precedent,â said Azwokkus. âWhen Camarilla voted on bringing your species into it, was such a set up vote. Voted No they did under Isolationists.â
âThis is so. I was young then, but remember well. I helped bring first Cabbarans to Ghioass and into Camarilla chamber. Was almost rioting, most amusing,â Khassis said reminiscently.
Kuvaaâs mouth dropped open in surprise. âIt was . . . You did?â
âWe did. Forced Camarillaâs hand that day, had to decide Yes.â
âThis depends on you, Kuvaa. You hold key to what happens,â said Azwokkus. âReport us you can, or join us.â
Her head was spinning with facts and decisions that she felt she had not the experience to make. âThe potentialities showed disaster,â she murmured, thinking it through slowly. âImpossible to recall all field Agents, and what of rest of our species? Will look suspicious if those in key areas disappear. Ones left will take the wrath of Child races. Only way Zaimissâ plan could succeed is if all of both our species vanish. Even then, still danger as draws more attention to us both. Search for us, they will, never stopping till they find us.â She looked up at the expectant faces around her.
âPresent course must be continued,â she said. âFoolish and dangerous to all is any other decision.â
âHow you answer why should we involve ourselves with their war?â asked Shvosi.
âWar been going on long time. Was born involved,â she said dryly. âAmbition of Warrior Sand-dwellers knows no bounds. Destroy or enslave all species they will. Vote was not majority will of Camarilla.â
âThen it is decided,â said Khassis. âPlant imperative to find and destroy matter transmitter in Hunter we must.
