“I could always try,” Gambler said. He loped over and, by resting his forepaws on the windowsill, took in the view. “The Seer is no friend to felivets.”

Luca shot him a look. “Araktik is friend to no one.”

“I’m not that familiar with humans,” I said, “but isn’t she quite young?”

“Barely nineteen,” Luca confirmed. “Not much older than Khara and me.”

Araktik stood facing the crowd, absorbing the cheers and squawks and water slaps. The terramants burred their wings and dipped antennae. The felivets remained silent.

“I feel that I am home,” Araktik began in a strong alto voice. “For many years I lived here on the isle. I learned much from great scholars of all species.”

“She cheated her way through exams,” Luca said, smirking.

“So she’s not so smart,” Tobble said.

“Don’t ever imagine that she’s not intelligent. Intelligent, cunning, ruthless, and dangerous.” Then, in a different tone, Luca added, “And a bully.”
