A few minutes later, Jason and the twins arrived at the Council House. Before they could reach the audience chamber, they were waylaid by Penelope, looking sharp and calm in bright blue silk. "The Council is currently in session and can't be disturbed, but your mother is waiting for you in a side chamber."

The number of mothers Jason had was a little dizzying. "I'll follow you, then. Is Ferran there?"

"Ferran's work with Ambassador Howards has finished, and he is awaiting his mother's pleasure in her private rooms."

"We'll go to him," Neyarr said. He took his brother's arm and headed away down the hall. Jason turned back to Penelope, who inclined her head slightly and gestured to the right.

"This way." The rest of their walk—and it was fairly long, down halls that hadn't been nearly so elaborately decorated—was a silent one. The slicker became looser and looser on his body, until Jason finally stopped to pull it free. Penelope didn't say anything; she just waited with a look in her eyes that somehow took the place of a tapping toe. Jason folded the wet fabric into a small roll and straightened his tunic before raising his eyes again. The rest of the walk was mercifully brief.

"Jason!" Giselle was right there the moment the door to the side chamber opened, smiling broadly. She took his arm and pulled him inside. Penelope didn't follow him. "How was your first night in your new home?"

"Fine." And even if it hadn't been, Giselle wasn't the one Jason was going to be complaining to.

"Good. Grenn and I spoke this morning, and she speaks very well of you. You've made a good first impression."

"That's what I do."

"Funny man. Dori wants a look at you." She made way for her physician, who came out from behind her and cupped Jason's face impatiently. Jason jerked back, surprised out of his normal imperturbability for a moment.

"Oh, hush. I'm just checking for any sign of allergic reactions," Dori tutted. "Open your mouth, stick out your tongue, and say ah."

"No."

"Close enough. No spots, no discoloration..." He felt Jason's lymph nodes. "No swelling. Anything else I should know about? Strange reactions to food, loose bowel movements, erectile dysfunction—"

"Stop," Jason said firmly, pulling Dori's hands down. "I'm fine. And besides, I've only been here for a day. How is that enough time for you to determine whether I'm going to stay healthy in this environment or not?"

"It isn't," Dori agreed. "That's why I'm going to have to examine you on a daily basis for the next little while."

"Just until you get your feet under you," Giselle added.

Jason looked back and forth between the two of them. He had the suspicion that he was being effectively tag-teamed into doing something kind of underhanded. "I don't need a medical checkup every day. Why are you saying that I do?"

"Because," Giselle said, frowning in annoyance, "I'm operating under very tight constraints. The Council is concerned about the repercussions of our relationship and the ways in which it might affect your smooth transition into Perel society.
