Chapter 15
Although he didn’t try to disguise his voice, Sean only said, “Good morning. Is Daniel up?”
“We were just finishing breakfast,” Rob said. “Do you want to talk to him?”
Sean could hear a fine trace of uncertainty in Rob’s tone but it was very subtle.
He hoped Daniel wouldn’t pick it up. “If he’s free.”
There was perhaps half a minute of silence before he heard a thump, a click and then a voice.
“Cousteau here. What can I do for you?” The self-proclaimed arch mage sounded somewhat gruff or curt but not overly hostile.
Sean plunged right into his pitch rather than get sidetracked with idle chat.
“Some of us would like to get together with you as soon as possible about the solstice ceremony. We think we need to talk it over some more before we get into working on the arrangements. For one thing, we have doubts about the UU Hall being the best place to do it. Could you meet a few of us this afternoon, say at the bookstore or the coffee shop?”
