Kein chuckled, “The men already know, at least some of the Administrators,” he said.


    The Brothers all remembered my outburst at the Administrator’s threat. At the time they 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…”


    Bane chuckled and eyed Ra with some humor, “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 some point.”


    “It is a limited bond,” Hannah continued to exin. ““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 whatnd she enjoyed best. It would have seemed odd if I wasn’t listening to the internal


    conversation.


    Christof had heard someoneing. Whoever it was in the area was being quite sneaky and avoiding


    making themselves known. They wereing 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


    reced with the idea we were alone with Hannah and Ra. The men noticed the aberrant thought and


    realized it had note from 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.


    “Your Mama exined you are in the middle of something.”


    “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 imed by her Later.”


    “Fly safe, Hannah,” Damien said sping 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 then me tightly.


    “Come visit 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. Thispulsion came from 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.
