We small-talked while the drama unfolded, and soon, Chai was back on board her Icarian and Taj had captured it all. I enjoyed my coffee and tried to push the evil dreams I’d been having away. Kei was right, this woman was fascinating.

“She’s looked at our messages,” Da said.

“And?” Kei asked her.

“Nothing, nothing at all.”

“You think she’s waiting to reply?” Lan asked, her brows furrowed.

“No,” Da said. “She’s not interested, I’m sorry Kei, maybe I was too forward?”

“I doubt that. No one could be more forward than Merlara.”

Merlara heard her name and also moved to sit with us. “I’m sure she’s got a lot of emotions running around her mind right now. How long till we can get over there?”

“We can’t fly in,” Taru said. “It would be pretty impossible with the storms.”

“Any of our Metal Walkers good at turning into boats?” I asked.

Lan shook her head. “They’re not specialized enough here for it.”

“We’re looking at hiring in,” Delago said. “Though some of our guards have Water experience—hard not to, living here for so long. Our Metal Walkers are also space-oriented, not water-based.”

“A lot to trust in others,” Kei said.

“We know,” Delago added. “We’ve got some military contacts and people we can work with. Though I’m not 100% on their backgrounds either. As much as Tikinia wants you here, they have to be prepared for what’s coming, too, which they are.”

“Are all Icarian trustworthy?” Lan asked quite innocently.

“No,” Delago said. “There’s as many of them working both sides as there are ours.”

“Can Itazi tell us when he meets them if they’re aligned the right way?”

Maybe, his voice drifted to me.

Why can I hear him so clearly and no one else can? Just now and then, like?

Because he’s my mate, and your right hand’s partner, there’s a dynamic here we both need. Sharing is something of it.

Kei didn’t voice Itazi’s thoughts, though. He kept that to himself.

Pete came in a moment later. “I’ve got some transport across the ocean,” he said. “We can meet her as she moves.”

“Moves?” Kei asked, confused.

“She’s going to follow the storm,” Alek said. “We had storm chasers on Isala but not to her level.”

“Ahh, do you think we can catch her?”

“If we leave now,” Alek said.

“Right now?”

“Yes, who do you want to escort you?” Pete asked.

Kei was put on the spot there, so I moved to his side. “We need those from your circle,” I prompted.

“Of course,” he said, but it wouldn’t work. We couldn’t have Shuko or his father here.

After just another moment, he called, “Geo, Luca, Merlara, Taru, Ezra, Alek, Max, Ori, Pete, Lena.”

“Is that enough?” Da asked.

“We can’t carry too many, as much as I’d love to take you all. You have other jobs I need you to do.”

Kei’s eyes turned to Lan. “You’ve got this, together. When we return, we will be victorious.”

“She’ll love you like we do.” Lan said.

Kei kissed her and then Da. “I’ll keep in touch,” he said.

“You’d better.” She slapped his ass.

“I’m sorry,” she said at his growl, and our laughs.
