At first he had thought to use the encounter with Aylssandra and her party as an excuse to stop for the evening. However, there was enough light to make a few more miles. Now he wanted to be sure Lady Aylssandra got the message that she was under his control. Under his control? He rebuked himself for the images that thought had brought to mind.

He straightened in his saddle. They had to ride on. He did not trust himself to spend a long evening in camp with the woman. Dax rejoined the huge, multilegged organism marching south toward Frohliem City. Scarlet fell in beside him. Dax nodded to his friend. After a few minutes, Dax invited him to circle back across their rear. He wanted to make sure all were on the march—especially Lady Aylssandra and her party.

“So what did the good Lady Aylssandra have to say?” Scarlet asked as they rode along.

Dax looked at Scarlet. “That she was out taking a ride to see about purchasing a farm.”

“Never would have taken her for the farming type.”

Dax smiled and shook his head. “She’s not. She lied about the whole thing—especially the part about being glad to see me.” His smile did not last. “She did answer one question I had.”

“What’s that?” Scarlet asked.

“She is almost certainly one of the reasons the Tharans were way out here where they shouldn’t be.”

“That thought crossed my mind as soon as I saw her.” Scarlet rode on in silence for a while. “So what do we do with her?”

“Do? I think taking her back to where she doesn’t want to be is just the thing. Frohliem City just staged a reception for the Tharan ambassador. I think more Tharan visitors are coming to stop by the city to say hello before long.” He nodded toward the troops riding ahead of them. “We missed the first reception, but I don’t want to miss the next one.”
