Seven

They stood outside Home, stunned.

Turn around and walk away no different than we would on any other day, Gama sent to Hest, too angry to speak out loud and let Home hear the panic she felt.

We should talk to Home, he sent back. Reason with it. You’ve convinced it to change its mind before.

Panic and anger bubbled in her — showing on her throat. She knew Home, its stubborn streak. It was unlikely to change its mind. She turned her back toward their dwelling. Home won’t let us in. Maybe later, but not now. We need tell Reln what’s happened, and find a place to stay until Home comes to its senses.

Hest touched one of the spots glowing like fire on her throat. All right. Let’s find Reln.

Gama put her hand over the back of her neck and walked with her head down. Panic that could be seen could easily be spread. She lifted her head once they’d gotten nearly halfway to Reln’s and she’d begun to feel calmer.

Prill met them at the door. Gama’s spots had quieted, but still showed enough color that one blue-red spot of anxiety bloomed on Prill’s own throat in response.

“Reln,” Hest said, and Gama looked past Prill at their guide coming toward the door.

The words tumbled out of her. “Home won’t let us inside. It blames us for the strange things that have happened. The brez disappearing, and the empty fields. And for Frarm. But Hest and I didn’t do anything. It was just circumstance. We have nowhere to stay.”

Reln reached out to touch her throat, then seemed to think better of it.

“You can stay here until this is straightened out,” he said. “I’ll go tomorrow and speak with your dwelling myself.”
