The dresses and skirts of the official and the assistant were much finer attire then Trex was used to seeing on female wolves. He had mostly only had contact with soldiers, or the farmers down in the occupied lower planes.

“You may take a seat,” said the Secretary, pointing towards some plush chairs against one wall with her writing quill.

The three travellers took a seat.

Trex and Sara both secretly enjoyed the sensation of sitting in such fine leather furniture. Sara glimpsed to see Trex flexing his tows in the thick plush rug, enjoying the sensation of the fabric between his digits.

Trex caught Sara’s side-glance and reacted sheepishly, his ears drooping.

Sara, sitting tall and proper, simply gave him a small smirk.

The sound of a writing quill filled the silent room, seemingly being kept in rhythm by a ticking pendulum clock in the corner.

Sara looked focused, Trex fidgeted and Sage Filfia gave the impression that she was meditating.

The door opened a few minutes later and the young grey furred assistant reappeared.

“You may come in Sage Filfia Ma’am, the others will be with you in a moment.”

Sage Filfia stood up, quickly followed by the two youths.

“The children can stay here,” said the Secretary in a firm voice.

Filfia paused for a moment as Trex and Sara stopped dead in their tracks at the stern tone.

“Miss. Kelgorn is my potential apprentice. And I have taken responsibility for Mr. Tristfull while here. They will not be in the way.”

The statement that Sage Filfia was potentially taking an apprentice was enough to momentarily shock the stern Secretary. Trex and Sara quickly rushed after the Sage, closing the door behind them before the Secretary could say anything else.

“But…” said the Secretary before she was cut off by the closing door.

Sara and Trex turned to see that they were not alone. In front of them and the Sage were the most powerful wolves in Torstberg. Mayor Petrice, Sara’s grandfather Mr. Thorntreck and a wolf Sara recognised as Mrs. Litzess, the head of treasury.

“Should they be in here?” asked Mrs Litzess, a little annoyed at having such young Anthros in the main council meeting room.

“Yes,” replied Sage Filfia simply.

Mrs Litzess looked affronted, but was getting no support from either of the senior wolves around her. Her long delicate sash twitched, indicating her tail was swishing back and forth a bit in irritation.

“Mayor Petrice, Mr Thorntreck and Mrs Litzess. I offer my most humble greetings.”

Sara and Trex bowed respectfully, Trex having payed attention for any indication from Sara.

“Thank you Sage Filfia,” said Mayor Petrice kindly, “please, take a seat.”

All six Anthros took their places at the large long dark wooden table.

“I was not expecting to see either you Mrs. Litzess, or you Mr. Thorntreck at this meeting today. To what do I owe the pleasure?” asked the Sage diplomatically.

“Mrs. Litzess, and Mr. Thorntreck will be taking over affairs here in the city while I am away. It is important that they are informed about this expedition.”

“Really… where will you be going Miss Petrice?” asked the Sage, genuinely intrigued by the unexpected development.
