At the hotel, I settled down into the cushy bed, too tired to want to lose the clothes or even to be frisky. Soothing the river’s rage had drained me again. Walker picked me up and carried me into the tub as I grumbled at him.

“My nose is sensitive,” he said drily as he started the hot water running and added soap. I stripped and climbed in. Long strong fingers carefully swept my hair to one side, I smelled the soap he warmed between his hands and luxuriated in the feel of digits digging solidly through my scalp, washing my hair and soothing the last of the river's pain with his touch. Sleep swooped down in the wake of soap and shampoo.

I woke in bed at dawn, with a note and a pre-loaded expense card waiting for me on the other pillow. He’d used paper. Called back to Capitol. Will return as soon as I can. Please limit violence to deserving persons. I couldn’t help lifting my lip in the ghost of a smile.

It rustled as I folded it. After I waterproofed it, I tucked it into my satchel with the lock of Dmitri’s baby hair I kept. A pole boat would get me to where I needed to go, and hire was cheap. Noone would rent a grav going to that area anyway. Soon I would be back to my room.
