If it was Ulanda's call to bring her here, then let her decide.”Except that Ulanda had shown no further interest once the original order hadgone out.“There's the immediate problem of security,” he reminded Eunni.“Ulanda is either something very much approaching this woman's god, or.” Hetried to remember what Peecit had said.“A lie,” Eunni said.Still cradling the girls' head, she gently smoothed Peecit's hair.“It's much easier for them to think she is a lie.”“Was what she said that simple?” he asked, startled.Surely something muchmore complex.His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps on the marble outside.Bolda's link died just as Alicia poked her head in.She wasn't alone, Silassic was at her shoulder, two additional security - Rilla's people - further back.Dressed in the pants and tunic she had favored since leaving Wilni, her ClanZimmer rifle was in a harness attached to one leg, the knife she'd gotten fromGennady on the other.She wore both openly, even the Spann tops on occasion.She moved to let Silassic get by then crossed her arms as though planning towait exactly where she was.When the medic carried the Zimmer girl out, shefollowed, still blocking Rilla's two.Rit followed her, carrying the books, Eunni the muffins.The two Blackmouth ti'Linn who had come in with Garm were waiting at Kori'spavilion and Alicia seemed content to trust them, politely dismissing the Temple Military guards to return to their posts.Silassic and Eunni stayed with the girl, he and Alicia continued on through thecommons towards the Brambles.Overhead, a warm breeze moved the ribbonleaves of the ni’at tree.As they passed under the tree, he pulled one of the long leaves free andwrapped it around a finger.“Did Ulanda send you?”Alicia stopped and looked up at him, squinting in the sunlight.“As you said, it’s a matter of security.And security here isn’t your problem.”Laurel Hickeywww.2morrow.bc.caEye of the Ocean – Book 1: Ji’Jin StationHe moved the large leather volume so that it was held against the sleeve of histunic and not touching skin.“Did she send you?” he asked again.“It was my job to be there.Don’t put this on me.Ask her if you wantanswers.”“Is a simple yes or no, so difficult?”“Why were you there?”What had taken him to the flitter bay? Eunni’s involvement? Or that Peecit wasZimmer? “It seemed the thing to do at the time,” he said lamely.She took his free hand in hers and they started walking again.Half a minutelater they were at the porch of the Brambles.- 15 -Ulanda leaned against the trunk of the ni'at, thoroughly bored.All the actionwas away from her, the small bag being well kicked after each break, just neverbreaking in her direction.Cici was up this time, slowly circling the break post as the bag spun upwards to the release point.The break was towards Mirwin again,he reached the bag just before Cici did and they almost collided then foot-fought to gain control.Cici got the bag away and started kicking it around the post,going wide and gambling on her speed advantage to gain points for herself - ifshe managed to keep control and bring it in without Mirwin getting it.Twice around, Ulanda thought Cici might try one more time before going to thecenter, when Mirwin slid into her to knock the bag away, jumped to his feet andran opposite, going around as he kicked the bag but already starting to cutinwards.The noise was deafening, everybody was screaming and jumping up anddown.She settled for yelling and rubbing her back against the tree at the same time.They were getting more used to each other, but Mirwin still couldn't find an itch if his life depended on it.A tickle in the Net and she turned to see Eunni watching her from the front ofthe common's awning where the meals were usually taken.Lunchtime then.Shecontinued to watch the game as the other woman came around.Mirwin hadkicked over but missed the post; he and Cici were foot-to-foot again as they vied for control, trampling one of the flowerbeds on the far side.Eunni took over the job of leaning against the tree.“He's still ahead,” she said then winced as Ulanda screamed at Mirwin for being a fist-footed idiot.Ulanda coughed.“Not by much,” she said roughly.Laurel Hickeywww.2morrow.bc.caEye of the Ocean – Book 1: Ji’Jin StationThe nine-tone spiral on the revolving break post had the white just ahead ofthe violet.A spur for Cici to have taken the gamble of circling around - and she had the bag again.Mirwin was down and slow about getting up [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
