She still could not decide whether Neesa was speaking the truth, even if it was meant to make sense in the first place. Of course, Sabine saw no reason that Neesa would make up so absurd a lie unless she was insane. Perhaps that was another possibility all along. Sabine remained quiet either way.

"Well," Lunise said, clearly tiring of the subject. "Best of luck with your future apotheosis, Hal-Neesa. I am almost certain we shall be calling upon you for the invasion before that happens. Now, unless you are not done gawking at Sabine's curiosity like a hungry fox, I believe you have everything you need for your stay."
