The guard thought the Princess might be understanding more than he liked and did not desire to give her unnecessary time alone with Bracus and President Bowen. He would take her tonight, it was the perfect opportunity for him. He was assigned duty to she and Lillian at the bathing springs. He would take her and she would be his to return to the sphere. He smiled as he thought on his plan.

Clara saw the smile slowly reveal itself upon the guard and thought that it would behoove her to never be alone with him. She maintained an uneasy silence.

Bracus felt her disquiet and could not ascertain its origin. He looked at his Band members and saw nothing amiss, but her eyes remained troubled. He did not wish to leave her yet, he must get to Evelyn.

He turned away, giving a curt nod to Clara. With the President ahead of them he walked outside and spoke quietly with Matthew, Stephen and Jack. “She may try to escape. President Bowen has told her enough that she feels confident that our intentions are for the good of both our peoples,” Bracus said, rolling his shoulders into a shrug.

Jack said, “Joseph will remain behind and either Stephen or Matthew will accompany the women to the bathing springs.”

Matthew looked at Jack.

“If Lillian is well enough to go,” Jack said.

“It matters not. The women like to primp and preen,” Stephen said disdainfully.

Jack replied, “Watch your tongue before I cut it out. Lillian does none of that. I think it is but an excuse to wheedle information out of the Princess.” He glowered at Stephen.

“There is much to be learned of the sphere-dwellers, that is true,” Bracus said.

“Another female may coax information,” Matthew agreed.

President Bowen reminded them all, “She is to be kept under close supervision. I wish to make haste with a treaty of sorts and that cannot be done if harm befalls her or she escapes and is picked up by the fragment.”

Bracus would never let that happen.

Out loud he said, “Let us make haste to rescue Evelyn.”

“See that you do,” and with that, Bowen walked off with a member from the central clan’s Band.

Bracus turned around and looked at the cottage, his gaze lingering. He desperately wished to see her one more time before his departure. No matter, there would be plenty of time upon his return to sort out his feelings and deepen their acquaintance. He knew he did not wish for Clara to return to the sphere.

Ever.

And as he stood there she appeared in the window, her form warped from the glass’ imperfections. She gave a small wave and Bracus’ heart became lighter. After all that she had been through, she bid him farewell.
