I found Aleksi easily enough. Aiden was close behind me. Ever the lost puppy. The sheer amount of Asura milling around the space was astounding. Aiden could not appear more bored if he tired but he refused to sit around bored with the hatchlings. He followed me because he wanted to but also because that is what his training dictated. He was an uninvited guest to the locals who did not know him. As such He must stay close to his representative or the one who invited him here. In both cases that would be me. The others in the room stared at him. No doubt comparing how different we were to one another. Then again we were only half siblings.

No one stopped me on the way to Aleksi. There were however more than a few who looked at my now very bruised side. The bruise would fade in a couple days. Depending on how long it took my Hena and Kegan to recover would factor into the healing of my ribs. I stared at him where he leaned against the wall. "You will live then?" I asked.
