Turan stared at his mentor a moment, a smile frozen on his lips. Well, it couldn’t happen to a nicer chap. He shook his hand. Congratulations.

Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Durand tried to down play his excitement; seven hundred years was a long time to live alone. Tell me about you then?

Turan’s good mood evaporated and he went back to his food. Nin Lamamu and I were just working on a project.

You’re not being straight with me, Durand insisted. It was quite obvious to him how Turan felt about the girl.

I am. His voice shrunk to a whisper. I’m not supposed to tell anyone, but we performed the time loop and it worked. You were right.

That explained why Turan had reconstituted. So why wasn’t I told. I am Head of Time and Space studies, you know.

Because you weren’t involved originally. Only the High Priests of the council and Nin Bau knew, for only they were required to perform the task.

I suspected something was going on.

Turan shrugged in resolve. What’s done is done.

Darius has what he requires to aid Lamamu’s husband, and I suspect once she has the cure she seeks, she will return from whence she came and all shall get back to normal around here.

You sound as if you won’t be sorry to see her go?

She should be with the one she loves. Just as you should. Turan attempted cheer. Leave the damn papers.

Go, have fun.

Durand could hardly believe these words were coming out of Turan’s mouth; Lamamu had had a profound effect on him. He so wanted to tell Turan that Lamamu’s King and the Shar’s good self were one and the same person, but he’d vowed he would not.

You know, it was only because Lamamu mentioned to me that she’d known me in another life, that I even considered Nin Lilith and myself might be compatible.

Durand thought he might be able to drop a hint somehow. She told me we’d been happily married once before.

Did she now? How fortunate. The Shar seemed more interested in his meal.

Durand tried to make his clues more pointed. She’s known lots of us before, she told me.

What are you trying to say, Durand?

I can’t say. I promised I wouldn’t tell you.

I see. Turan was rather amused by this game. Well, it would seem to me that you’re inferring that she’s known me before.

Could be. Durand raised his eyebrows. I gather from what you’ve said that Lamamu has already told you she’s married to this King Maelgwn of Gwynedd.

Did you say, Maelgwn?’

Indeed I did. Durand was hopeful they’d had a breakthrough.

That’s what Lamamu called me, the first time she laid eyes on me. Turan pondered the implications of this.

Funny about that, Durand commented, as he quickly gathered up his things.

Are you saying … Turan’s words were seized by a burst of joy that near choked him.
