Kai caught up with Babatunde before his teacher could reach the hallway leading to his room. "Babatunde!" he called. "Wait!" Had the talk of slaves had anything to do with Babatunde's talk of medallions?

"No, Kai," the little man said fondly. The sounds of music and merriment drifted up from the floor below. “Your father would want you at the party, not puttering around with an unfashionable old fool like me. Go." There was force in that final word that stole the words from Kai's lips. Babatunde turned and left.

Kai sighed, then walked back the way he had come. Halfway back he looked down from a stairway and saw Ali and Lamiya. They were together in the moonlight; alone. At that moment, Ali seemed very much the man, the inheritor of the estate; Lamiya's expression was affectionate and as calm as an oiled sea. Ali leaned forward and kissed her.

It was the first time that Kai had ever seen them kiss, and it caused a twist of pain that he would not have credited.

Stricken, he turned and fled.
