Lataniva was a little confused at Benny’s sudden turn in attitude about the freshening of air. It wasn’t a matter Lataniva was overly concerned with, but apparently, it was a matter. Hm.

She then nodded mostly about Sandra’s comments about her story and was then going to comment more, when something entered her awareness. The Dalentian paused, her eyes and face turning in that direction. Her psionics were giving her information but she knew not what to make of it.

A man. His signature. His feel. It was Dalentian, yet it was not. Nobody else would feel it unless they had similar powers, but Lataniva certainly would not miss it. Her solid control felt the unstable masses of the foreign man’s Sh’kwarr, returning to her their findings. … It was not a threat. If it wasn’t suddenly going to blow out of proportions, she was safe. His physical body could still be a threat, but psionics-wise she had it covered. That part of the deal was in her favour. However…

It felt Dalentian. Yet, it was warped. Twisted. Foreign. [i]Wrong[/i]. She had never felt something alike to this, ever, and she had grown up on her homeworld. She was more experienced and accomplished a Dalentian hunter than most, yet… What? What was he? An immediate guess was that he was an alien race that simply happened to be very similar to a Dalentian, perhaps related in some form of way, but… Lataniva had never heard of any such.

… However, quite honestly, it was none of her concern. Assuming none of them died, she’d have time to investigate the matter. And if they did, it would stop mattering. Lataniva momentarily abandoned the issue, relaxing her fingers and looking away, because she had promised herself to another activity.

[indent]‘Yes. Let’s see what methods of self-cleaning are available to us.’[/indent]She said to Sandra as the two hurried along to see what they could find.
