âAh, that feels divine. Youâre so good at this, Lynne.â
âDonât fall asleep now, Tina. We agreed to take turns,â I reminded the drowsy Miss First Place as I ran a brush through her pretty platinum tresses. We had taken a bath after dinner and returned to our room early in preparation for the morrow. Now Tina, Caren, Lily, and I were all dressed for bed and doing each otherâs hair.
My dear sister sat by the window in her white nightgown, quietly flipping through the data weâd gathered earlier in the day. When I thought of what sheâd been doing all this time, I couldnât help feeling that sheâd been rather unfair.
On a nearby sofa, Lily combed Carenâs lustrous silver-gray locks. âWhat silky hair you have, Miss Caren!â she giggled. âIt feels so nice and smooth.â
âThank yâ Ah! L-Lily, not the earâ Eek! Only Allen gets to touchââ
I felt embarrassed just listening to them. And so, apparently, did Tina. She covered her mouth with her hand and kept stealing quick glances at the pair. In Ellieâs absence, it fell to me to protect her.
âThatâs quite enough, Lily!â I snapped.
âOkay!â My cousin released the breathless Caren and promptly set about preparing tea. The sheer material of her pale-scarlet nightgown seemed to emphasize the twin peaks of her breasts.
Someone ought to regulate those lethal weapons.
Tina glared vengefully at Lilyâs bosom. I passed her the brush and took my turn in the chair.
âDonât get carried away,â my dear sister said without looking up from the papers she was reading. âToo much fooling around will come back to bite you tomorrow.â
âYes, maâam,â Tina and I responded together.
âI...I know,â Caren gasped, still catching her breath.
âJust leave everything to me!â Lily chimed in.
A crescent moon and comet hung in the sky beyond the large windows. The city seemed at peace. I found it hard to believe that tomorrow, a battle fought here would sway the outcome of this Southern War.
While my cousin served us all tea, my dear sister laid her papers on a round table and said, âLily, show me a map of the city.â
âYou got it!â Having placed the last teacup, my cousin climbed onto a bed and waved her left hand while clutching a cushion. A large projection of the city appeared in the center of the room.
âIâll go over the terrain,â my dear sister continued. âCram it into your heads before tonight is out.â
âRight!â Tina, Caren, and I straightened our backs and nodded in unison.
In the north lay the old city, where the Nittis had kept their archive. Proceeding from there along the Grand Canal, which bisected the city from north to south, we came to the Isle of the Brave, the Grand Library, Seven Dragons Plaza, Cat Alley, the Old Temple, the great assembly hall, The Cat Parting the Seas, and finally the Water Dragon Inn in the extreme south. My dear sisterâs dainty finger tapped a northerly district.
âWeâre currently here, on Cat Alley, home to the cityâs beastfolk,â she said, light glinting off the brand-new pendant hanging from her neck.
