“Tina.”

“Tina?”

“Yes.”

“Both beautiful names my woman answers to the name of Auscha.”

“Auscha that is a northern name is it not?”

“It is, “Daiya says answering Bette quite impressed with her knowledge, “Her parents migrated here when she was young.”

“A wise decision on their part, “Gaia says.

“Indeed….. dinner don’t be late, “she says smiling before turning around walking towards the castle. As Daiya walked away speaking of Tina she silently hoped her letter had finally reached her.

Nephele…..

It had been a few sunrises past, however the thought of someone snooping around her chambers unauthorized left Tina in an uncomfortable state. Furthermore, none of her belongs had been touched or removed with the exception of a personal picture she kept of Bette. It was no secret who she was and whom she was married to but because the taking of the picture seemed so personal she wasn’t sure if it was a direct threat towards her or her wife. Either way, she refused to be left alone in her chambers until a secured lock had been placed on her door. Until then she planned to remain in Kits chambers at night to rest her body. When she ask to stay with her at night, Kit did not question why assuming she felt lonely missing Bette. For, Kit she welcomed the company they stayed up late talking and laughing about the past and future over wine. Until she was able to conduct her own private investigation she withheld from telling Kit what happened. Rising with the sun as Kit slept she quickly dressed and made her way towards the massive dining area for breakfast. Once she entered Molly spotted her right away waving her hand in the air signaling to her to sit next to her once she prepared her plate.

“Morning.”

“Morning to you as well, “she says taking a seat.

“You’re up rather early.”

“Yes, well when the sun rises so do I.”

“I haven’t slept in since Shane departed.” She had no more tears to shed thinking of Bette the mentioning of her name would immediately cause her to breakdown so she decided to change the subject.

“Uh, when crossing the main corridor I did not see Adele has she been moved?”
