It seemed that Bilro was determined to upset his companions. He was at the Citadel every chance he had, and some of the younger members would come screeching up to Reeda to tell her that they had seen the fiery streak approaching the Citadel.

A week of fascinating conversations passed before the inevitable day arrived. Bilro showed up in a skimmer with the other Guardians and asked for the occupants of the Citadel to bring Reeda out.

Reeda learned this in her morning etiquette class, and she smiled at the young woman who was whispering in her ear. Reeda inclined her head to her instructor. “Please, excuse me.”

“Of course. Well done, by the way. You asked before you stood. You are learning.”

Reeda stood, bowed and followed the child out of the classroom, through the hall and into the courtyard.

Bilro smiled tightly. The other Guardians were waiting in the background. “I just wanted to come by and say goodbye before I leave.”

She nodded in a short jerk. “I understand. Do you know where you are posted?”

His smile relaxed. “They are sending me home. With retirements imminent, the senior Guardians have all decided to leave and pursue instructor positions on other worlds.”

“So you will be a complete team?”

He nodded. “We will. It will be nice to be amongst my peers.”

Reeda glanced over at the skimmer full of green men. “Do you know who your commander will be?”

He shrugged. “I suppose we will work it out for ourselves. If the Imperium doesn’t assign one of us as in charge, we will have to fight for it.”

Reeda made a heroic effort not to smack herself in the forehead. “Perhaps they won’t want you fighting; it isn’t really in keeping with the idea of Guardians.”

He shrugged again. “I suppose, but it will be one of us. There are usually only four Guardians assigned per world.”

She nodded. “Well, enjoy yourself and I wish you success.”

He stepped toward her and kissed her quickly. “I wish you success in your life, and thank you for the week you have given me.”

She nodded and looked past him. “You may regret doing that, but enjoy your trip home. It will be good for you to work at defending your own people.”

He touched her cheek, and she leaned into the small caress. Kimda cleared his throat and Bilro whispered, “Goodbye.”

She replied. “Farewell.”

He turned and left.

She waited until the skimmer was out of sight before she returned to the Citadel and headed for the administrator’s office.

A bright scream greeted her. Reeda smiled. “Hiya, Fixit.”

He chuckled and shifted from side to side on his perch.

Veera looked from her mental companion to Reeda. “How are you, Reeda?”

“I am good. He’s on his way.” Reeda sighed.

“Are you ready? This isn’t going to be easy. His species is notoriously pigheaded.”

Reeda flexed her hands. “I am fine. I will deal with it. It isn’t Bilro that I will have the problem with. It is the other guys that are going to cause me problems. Bilro does want to remain part of their group and that is where the problem will come in.
