CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Lore was pressed between the need to find out if the ambassador was going to charge them with any crimes, as Malik clearly wanted, or follow Trig. He didn’t need to see her face to know that she was distressed. While he did not know if he would be welcome, something about the way she left made it impossible not to follow. He looked to Tyber, who made no outward move but who Lore could feel was also fighting his instincts to follow. But they both knew while Lore might not be welcome, Tyber definitely was not, so without a word passing between them it was understood that he would go after their female, and Tyber would stay to deal with the fallout with the ambassador.

The last thing he heard as he glided silently from the room was the ambassador saying they found something suspicious when they searched the ambassador’s frigate for Trig. He was out the door before he could hear what they had found. Nor did he really care, other than to be glad that Trig was there with them, and not on the compromised frigate with Malik, and whatever other dangers she could find there.

He followed close behind her and still he had to go searching for her through the maze that was Lucan’s home on Port Sea. Lucan did it on purpose he knew, making it difficult to find your way to the inner sanctum of his home if you didn’t know how to get there. At first he wondered if Trig had gotten lost somewhere in Lucan’s labyrinth, but he eventually found her.

She had been smarter than he had been. She hadn’t tried to wander the unfamiliar corridors. She’d simply gone outside.

He found her on the beach. She was barefoot, her toes buried in the sand where she sat looking out at the crashing waves.

He had no idea what to say so he said nothing. He was pleased to see she no longer looked to be overly emotional, at least as far as he could tell. But there was a silence to her stillness. More so than her usual serene countenance that always made him wonder what she was really thinking.

He had watched her often in the few days it took to travel here, even if she was unaware of it. He felt like he knew her better than she perhaps believed. But that did not mean he knew what to say in these circumstances. So he sat and looked off into the distance beside her and waited to see what she needed from him.

Finally she spoke, her voice small beside the crashing of the waves and the sounds of the birds in the distance. "Why are you here?"

He looked her way, but she still watched the water, and he found he did not want to look away, even as he wondered what she saw in the ocean. "In case you need something?"

That had her turning his way and finally he could see her eyes.
