Showerdried and dressed in one of her new ensembles, a yellow wool sweater set with a weave as fine as silk, cocoa leggings and soft boots, Kiri ate breakfast in Natan’s galley, glad to have his company as a distraction from her troubles.

Kai was somewhere in the building, probably with Bronc, Taara was in a conference with Daanel about her new fashion line, and Zaë was doing something in her room.

Natan didn’t blink when Kiri asked for decaffeinated coffee. He did, however, present her with a tall, slender glass of pale green to begin her breakfast. “Full of nutrients, Ms. Kiri.”

Kiri shot him a wary look, wondering if he could possibly know she was pregnant, but he stirred eggs serenely, and besides, the doctor had promised complete confidentiality, so how could he know?

The smoothie was delicious. She also ate the eggs, a warm moonberry muffin and drank a cup of delicious coffee with cream. Yum, she could just keep eating and eating. No, bad idea. She didn’t want to be waddling in eight months. She was going to have to buy new clothing as it was. She glanced down at herself in consternation. Her belly was going to stick out as if she’d swallowed a huge pala melon.

“More coffee?” Natan asked.

“Ah, no. That was delicious, thank you.” She pushed her empty plate away with a regretful look at the tray of muffins. “I want to speak with my brother. Do you know where he is?” Natan had an uncanny grasp of the workings of Stark’s household, and the activities and needs of its denizens. Kiri had realized this during her stay with Logan in the scraper.

“The family has been given access to most of this building,” Natan said. He brought up a holovid of the building, and pointed at the different levels. “Top level, offices. Next level medcenter, where Mr. Stark is resting. Next, living quarters for staff, along with galley, dining and conference rooms. Below that, the penthouse, and finally, the techlabs. I believe Mr. Berenson invited your brother to view one of the labs.”

Kiri nodded. She had heard Logan mention various labs where LodeStar techs of all kinds could work and confer. But she had no idea what they produced. Couldn’t be anything that bad. Logan was a businessman, not a supplier of top secret military weaponry.

“Thanks, Natan. I’ll head down there, see if I can find them.”
