They stopped at High Reaches Weyr on the way back. Weyrwoman Sonia was happy to see them, as evidenced by Lyrinth’s proud bugling when she spotted Fiona’s queen.

“Congratulations on your flight!” Fiona said to Sonia and D’vin when they met.

“And you on yours,” D’vin returned.

“On your two flights,” Sonia added. “I take it that I’ve lost my queen to Telgar.” She raised an eyebrow questioningly as she added, “Unless you’re here to request a transfer?”

Fiona smiled and shook her head. “No, Kindan and Lorana were at Tillek returning borrowed gear and insisted on stopping here.”

“They did, did they?” Sonia said, eyeing the pair speculatively.

“If we could, we’d like to check in your Records Room,” Lorana said, hefting a carisak onto her shoulder.

“Let me send for some klah and we’ll join you,” D’vin said.

“Actually, my lord, we’d prefer to do this ourselves,” Kindan responded smoothly, gesturing to Lorana and himself. Fiona hid her surprise and hurt at the exclusion, giving Sonia a look of resignation as if to indicate that one had to make allowances for harpers.

“Well, then, we’ll meet you in the kitchen,” Sonia said, waving them away and motioning for Fiona to precede her.

When Kindan and Lorana rejoined them half an hour later, Fiona saw the way that Sonia’s eyes darted to Lorana’s now empty carisak and the Weyrwoman’s thoughtful expression.

D’vin waved them toward chairs and continued saying, “I understand that we’ll see you tomorrow.”

Sonia gave Kindan a triumphant look as if to say “Take that!” but the harper merely nodded, saying, “So you’ll be at Telgar tomorrow noon?”

“A bit later than noon,” Sonia said in response. “I’ll need some sleep.”
