Where is everyone?” Bella wondered on the edge of a yawn as she came out from her and Jaison’s sleeping area. “The quiet woke me up.” She rubbed her cheek as she dropped onto the mat by Jaison. She smiled in gratitude when he handed her a cup of broth.

“Most are out,” Ash said as he returned inside. “Lyra and Nolyn are meeting with the Vi’linu. Star and her Swordanzen guardsmen are speaking with the elders. Terrence is off corrupting Marcus.” A small, satisfied smile curled the man’s lips when Bella choked mid-sip. He accepted one from a chuckling Taylin.

Bella wheezed. “No fair. I just woke up.”

“Not bad, Ash.” Mureln winked as he sat back on one hand with a casual air. “You are improving your ability to shock Vodani.”

Tyrsan grunted as he sat down, taking a towel to wipe down his torso. “When you can do the same to a bard, you’ll have mastered the art of flustering Vodani.” He arched an eyebrow when Bella poked his chest.

“Why in the world have you been training incessantly when the sun is up?” the woman asked. “Are you trying to get sunburn?” She poked his deep red and brown shoulder. “If so, you are succeeding admirably.”

“It is a technique from Sevmana I haven’t had to use in more than two centuries. Once the burn passes, the skin remains brown and does not burn so easily.” He stretched, popping his neck before taking the broth from Taylin. “And the lotion we received from one of the tribes does wonders soothing the sting.”

“Ironic that you na’Zhekali can’t get burned by fire but the sun can roast you like a rabbit on a spit.” Bella shook her head. “Speaking of incessant training, where is our other illustrious leader, anyway?”

Ash looked toward the sleeping area with a faint frown. “She has been complaining of not feeling well since the meeting of the tribes. I told her to sleep in a little longer, but I thought she would be up by now.”

“I am awake,” Storm stated, pushing the curtain divider aside. She sat by Ash, crossed her arms and closed her eyes.

Taylin’s expression filled with concern. “You do not look healthy at all.” The healer reached out to touch the other’s forehead, drawing back when the surly woman growled and swatted at her hand in irritation.

“Aelia na’Zhekali!” Ash snapped. “That is enough of this nonsense. You have not been feeling well long enough that it worries all of us. You know very well Taylin is not going to attempt healing you without permission. She only wants to make sure whatever ails you is not something she could aid in. She could, at the very least, ease some of your discomfort.”

“No,” the unhappy Storm stated, crossing her arms in stubborn petulance. “I do not need a healer.” She grimaced, shifting her crossed arms over her abdomen.

Ash sighed. “Beloved, you are miserable. You have not been eating enough for even one of your people.” He reached to put his hand on her shoulder, but she slapped him away.
