There had been time enough in the early morning for a gentle revisiting of last night’s energy, followed by a brief return to sleep, before duty woke them again.

They presented themselves at the usual hour, showered and seemly, to the breakfast room, finding it occupied only by Posit, one of the elder cats. She yawned at their entrance and stretched along the window cushion, exposing her belly to the wan light of a Surebleak summer morning.

Fast broken, they parted—Miri to the nursery for an hour with Talizea before she went down to city.

“Appointment with the storytelling committee,” she told him. “Kareen says, ‘everyone who grew up here is a primary source,’ and apparently neither delm nor Road Boss is a high enough card to get me out of telling what it was like, back before Liz come and signed me up for the merc.”

“You will be instrumental in forging the new world culture,” Val Con said.

“So, I’ll get a card that says Founder, will I?”

“Should you like to have one?”

“Nah, then everybody would know who to blame.” She kissed him. “On your way to the office?”

“I will walk over and see Mr. Shaper first, on Shan’s business. Then, yes, the office. We are dining with Nova this evening. Shall I come home, first?”

“’Less business keeps you late. If we go down together, Nelirikk can have the night off.”

“I will come home then,” he said. He took her hand and raised it, bending to place a lingering kiss on her knuckles.

“Until soon, cha’trez.”
