154 Dedication

Katie had already sent off letters to Edmund du Pont and Marcy Grandin, the other proposed members of the delegation, and expected to hear back within the next few days. Using carrier pigeons to get messages to the post office at the base of the mountain sped up communication.

One of the refugees who fled to Rowenhilde had learned how to train them before moving back here. His skill had been indispensable.

In the meantime, Jae would be staying at the de Kanta home so Al could inform him fully about the mission and what he would be expected to do. Abby hardly saw Blaise at all because he preferred tagging along with the men than with Katie.

She missed him already when he hadn't even left yet. Once her head had cleared from the euphoria of being reunited with her sister she found herself realizing that not talking to him had made a noticeable difference in her day.

How strange.
