Kein chuckled, “The men already know, at least sof the Administrators,” he said.
The Brothers all remembered my outburst at the Administrator’s threat. At the tthey had not understood. Now all the pieces fit. The Administrators, at least a few of them, understood what the women did for control.
“We will watch for it, but we will not act oddly,” Damien assured Hannah. “I believe Nu-reeh would punish us for this knowledge.”
“Men aren’t supposed to know,” Ra mused. “I am surprised the Administrators know…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBane chuckled and eyed Ra with shumor, “Men are not all ignorant, young one, we can think just as you can. The Administrators know things about the world, I’m sure they noticed at spoint.”
“It is a limited bond,” Hannah continued to explain. ““Nu-reeh would have to be close to you all to do it.”
We stay away from her for good reason then, the men decided.
Abruptly the conversation changed and Damien was asking Hannah how her travels were. He even asked her what land she enjoyed best. It would have seemed odd if I wasn’t listening to the internal conversation.
Christof had heard someone coming. Whoever it was in the area was being quite sneaky and avoiding making themselves known. They were coming at us from just above; Christof had noted the rustle of wings and slight change in the shadows.
Hannah quirked a brow at Damien and he nodded to her. The subtle human gesture would not be noticed by anyone but us. Hannah and Ra nodded back and continued with the light conversation for several moments with us. I noted the girls looked around now, intent on finding what Damien had.

There were warring sensations in my head suddenly. The impression we were being watched was replaced with the idea we were alone with Hannah and Ra. The men noticed the aberrant thought and realized it had not cfrom any one of us.
Nu-reeh was here and close. We hoped she had not heard us speaking. Probably not or she’d already know all she needed to.
“We don’t wish to hold you longer than we should,” Damien said cordially to Hannah.

“Yes,” Hannah sighed signaling ‘up’ silently with her eyes as Damien nodded, “so much travel to do and so much to learn. Ra and I are expected in her female breeders mountain in three nights. She has generously agreed to let us train in her mines for a few days. It is a test really, to see if we are worthy of being claimed by her Later.”
“Fly safe, Hannah,” Damien said clasping her arm and pulling her into a hug, “and best of Luck to both of you. You also Ra, fly safe.”
Hannah hugged Damien and thentightly.
“Cvisit when you can,” I said hugging the girls and keeping a steady voice.
Hannah and Ra flew off and Damien Lounged against the rock wall. Inside my head was the idea we should talk about what Hannah had just said. It would feel good to relive the conversation. The hair on my neck prickled with fear. This compulsion cfrom outside of us.
“So the girl Likes to travel,” Kein said throwing rocks Like baseballs toward another cliff.
“Didn’t we tell her she would?”
“Wish she’d bring more tami leaf,” Evan said. “You should have asked her, Brother. She said she’d been in that area,” he addressed Damien.
