CHAPTER 2 Angers Resolved
Running up into the Eastern wall Aly saw Taybur and walked over and sat quietly next to him.
"You heard?" Taybur asked.
"She didn't even mention Nawat coming with me and not a word was said about my daughter." Aly replied angrily.
"Maybe you should just ask." Taybur said wisely. Aly nodded and started to walk back down the wall's stairs.
"Oh and get your spies out of the barracks." Aly smiled.
"Why? It's not like you have anything to hide." Taybur grinned. "And I would never remove them, besides I have more than one spy in that barrack. Don't I trick?" The Darking squeaked and Taybur laughed. Aly quickly made her escape.
Aly came to a halt outside Dove's study, and then knocked.
"Come in." Dove called. Aly entered and sat down in front of Dove's desk.
"Why can't Nawat and my daughter come?" Aly demanded.
"What do you mean? Of course they're going. This could take months. I couldn't separate you from your husband and I would never take a mother away from her daughter." Dove replied shocked.
"Really? It's just when I asked who was coming you didn't mention them."
"Oh Aly," Dove cried. "I thought it was a given. I'm sorry." Realisation dawned on her face as she said, "So that's why you were mad at me?" Aly nodded.
"What's wrong Aly? I thought you would have jumped at the chance to see your family. They get to meet your baby and you don't have to worry about hiding yourself because you are there to make peace." Aly smiled.
"I s'pose so. It's just I feel like something bad is going to happen while we're there." Aly looked at Dove. "Maybe I'm just getting old. That's what having children does to you." Dove laughed. "Now don't you have some packing to do?" Aly groaned and hopped up. "Make sure you always have secret on you." Aly waved and left.
"Fun?" Asked Trick.
"Maybe." Aly replied.
"FunFunFun." Aly laughed.
