CHAPTER

THIRTEEN

T he men and women facing her in the conference room looked anxious as she came in. She recited what Pitt had suggested, almost word for word; their faces relaxed slightly.

“I’ve been irritable,” Ky said, at the end. “My apologies to anyone I’ve bitten. A more thorough medical evaluation should take care of everything—you know they told me when I first came in that I shouldn’t check out so fast—”

“Don’t worry,” Argelos said. “We’ll take care of everything, and if we need to hold departure awhile—”

“I doubt that will be necessary,” Ky said, “as long as I do what I’m told.” She managed a grin. “I may be as stubborn as all the other Vattas, but I can follow orders…sometimes.” There was a chuckle in response that sounded almost natural. “Feel free to not tell me anything you’re doing—I’m sure you’ll be fine without me. For a while, anyway.”

It was hard to turn away from the table, hard to make herself leave the room, but inside she felt a shift, a change of something indefinable that told her she was making the right decision.
