    Beyond My Knowing, chapter 28

    Anara and Lanam set out the food and water for them all, more than the usual allotments because of what was going to happen today, but not so much that they wouldn’t still be able to manage for a time in case things went badly.

    They ate a mostly sedate meal together, Kes explaining to Artem their plans to go back to her home below ground and telling him that he, his sister and mother, and Vastu of course, would be welcome to come with them. At Lanam’s prompting, Kes also told them more about the city… her favorite places, what the buildings and people were like, things such as that.

    The meal done, Tresit spent a minute or two putting things away while Kes considered. ”We need to leave soon, before the day becomes too hot…”

    ”I… shouldn’t go with you. Artem should.” Tresit spoke.

    ”Why?” Artem asked, surprised by the statement.

    ”They will trust you at the first. For me, the opposite… The opposite is true.” He spoke. ”It’s for the best.” Unspoken, Kes could sense (because Tresit was practically broadcasting the thought, knowing she would hear it), was that Tresit, while hopeful, was still less that entirely convinced of his cousin’s trustworthiness and didn’t want to leave him alone with his mother and sister and thought it would be better if Artem stayed with Kes who would be able to tell beforehand if he got any ideas of betrayal and be able to put him to sleep again before he could act on them. She had more faith in Artem than that, but, of course, she and Anara had already decided on the same course of action, knowing that his family would trust Artem much more readily than they would Tresit, or herself or even Anara for that matter. Adding to the fact of him being Miteza’s son, Artem was also male, and, regardless of merit, Anara knew Miteza would more naturally defer to his wishes than to most anyone else in a situation like this. Much as that personally bothered Kes to think about.

    Artem looked to Kes then. ”…Alright.” Kes told him with a small encouraging smile. ”Do you want that?” She asked him.

    ”…I do.” Artem replied, the desire to be reunited with his family strong in his mind.
