Kire nodded, considering the suggestion to take Zeke along, if only briefly. It would be good for him, but she wasn’t too sure how well they would work together, and definitely she couldn’t bring him when Ruli was coming along, too. She feared, too, what would happen if Ikegai or Akuma had somehow tracked them there, and she had to worry about his safety amidst a fight.

One of these days, she should invite Ysaryn for a drink. 

While she still had the space to herself, she stayed a while longer in the kitchen after finding some of the herbal teas she had brought back with her. The smell alone reminded her of Elva and the cold North. After finishing the piping hot cup, Kire sighed and got ready to leave to speak to Envy and Rulitus.
