Chifrose was in his twenties, quite athletic, which had Ameryst paying him a lot of attention! He outlined the various activities and how they could get involved from the boat race to the Strat comps to the sports tournaments! “We don’t MAKE you do these things! The facilities are there and you’re encouraged to use them! However for you Kets who may feel a little overwhelmed by the sporty and domineering Kets we have the Elder Kets who are called Seflers who can arrange one on one tuition with you to help you improve your physique and “ Ameryst grinned.
“Nothing wrong with his physique.“ Delise giggled. “Ame's!“ Aniette too, was taking a lot of interest! Something Ameryst noted! Let alone Narya. She scowled. Muttering beneath her breath. ‘Typical!’ There was certainly going to be a LOT of competition going on. Ameryst? She was determined she WAS going to be a winner. The mood amongst the Kets was still fairly good, it was to be expected that disagreements and ill feeling, might be apparent. given certain races animosity towards each other.
La Toyah had been surprised. Things had not been, the usual chaos! “This lot “ She murmured. “Appear to be able to keep their emotions in check.“ In the teams, Margise was NOT the Adjudicator to, some of the Kets were making their opinions known on the subject of sharing information? Spies in their midst? A bit of paranoia creeping in! Those who they deemed loyal to her? "They obviously think that because you, look after Narya’s team and Cistera’s team, that us blues and greens are not to talk to you!” Becci was having none of this nonsense!
She smiled. “I’m in the blue team and I’m still talking to you! So they can get on with it!” Becci was furious. “I don’t care, what Fesh says! “ Margise looked at her, she could see she was upset! “Fesh?” “She said, anyone other than the red team and the yellow team couldn’t talk to you, or be friends with you, because that would mean we’re conspiring with the enemy! “ Margise rolled her eyes. “Honestly! We’re here to help, not to take sides.
So I want my teams to do well, but not at the expense of cheating!“ She hugged Becci, “Early days; they’ll wise up!“ There had been a heated discussion going on elsewhere, over the same issue! “Its not right, that Margise, who should NOT, be sharing a domicile with you Kets, as an Ajud. is!“ Ameryst glared at Fesh, “You know the more I listen to you, the more I get the impression you don’t like her." Fesh, said nothing. Xugan had his own opinion on things.
“Look I'm not a fan of Fesh." She scowled about to say that she was not a fan of his either! He ignored her. "Far too outspoken for my liking, but on this occasion, I feel she’s right! What has liking or disliking got to do with the truth!“ Belanna interrupted, she was furious at Fesh, as usual stirring things. “Only when it suits some of us, to use it to their advantage. Isn’t that right Fesh?” Xugan turned on her. “Who asked YOUR opinion?”
Corky had entered the Ovir to hear them arguing. He stepped over to them. They went quiet. “Anyone seen Margise?” No one said anything for a moment then Fesh spoke “In the 2nd Ovir on the west side with Becci and Anietta. Anietta shouldn’t be there. Two blue team, with the red and yellow adjudicator?“ She paused, obviously intent, on getting whatever was bothering her, off her chest. “Every time, we have ideas, or plans, to win merits, over the red and yellow teams, they’ll know our plans in advance. Thanks to them, talking to Margise.“
Corky shook his head. “I can’t believe you lot.“ Ameryst interrupted him.. “Its NOT, all of us Corky..“ She glanced at Fesh, making it clear to all present, who she was talking about. “Just a few that have it in for Margise! “ Xugan stared at her. “That’s not true. Take that back!” Ameryst stood her ground looking at Fesh.. “Someone to fight your battles for you? Can’t you stand up for yourself?” Corky now growled, he had heard enough! They went quiet. “Margise and I, are impartial.. We may have teams as Adjudicators, but we remain unbiased. Neither myself or Margise would EVER, and knowing Margise personally, I can vouch for this, one hundred percent. Would EVER, reveal details, to allow other teams, to have an unfair advantage by cheating!
So let this be an end of it! Why I’m looking for Margise, is because her quarters are finished. Ready for her to move into!“ The Kets voices died away, the realization of what he had just said hitting home? Corky however had not finished with them. "That does NOT mean we do NOT socialise and I will have NO more silly suspicions or insinuations regarding the Adjudicators impartiality.“ He turned and walked off. ‘KETS!‘
