"No!" Anora sat up. Looked at them. "That is what happened. Honest!" Eula had no reason to lie. The arrival of Van Ea set Anora on edge but she relaxed when she saw Arkanaje with her and they appeared to be doing the impossible, actually being pleasant to each other?!
It would only be, when Xugan made his appearance and told her, that Anora believed them. "Where you fell, it may have been swimming." "Sometimes, it likes to come up in the Estuary do some bathing, taking in the sun. Must have been a bit of a shock to it seeing you falling from the sky! He started to laugh. "Not funny Xugan!" Anora started to grin. "So I guess you owe the Grovok a thank you."
Seeing that happening anytime soon might be interesting! The Kets were definitely amused. They were interrupted by the arrival of Anietta. "There is, a party in the Great Hall tonight." Not sure the entertainment is going to be up to much, but food and drink is free. How are you feeling Anora." Aniette moved in to peer at her. Anora scowled.
"I hear the Grovok was badly concussed when you fell on it." She burst out laughing. "To think you always believed it would frighten you and you must have scared it .." Her voice tailed off as Anora grabbed what we would know as a pillow and threw it at her. Aniette left. They could hear her continuing to laugh as she headed off to tell other Kets about the party.
Delise and Cala were stood in front of the Galweis Triplets. Cala handed them a small package, which they opened, looked at the contents. Galyna glanced at the others. "It says here, a locket of hair, from each of the members of that band."
"If you have a locket of hair from each of them, is that not enough DNA?" The Triplets moved to one side. Whispers?
They stopped, turned back to look at the Kets. "If this is the genuine article its worth a lot of Slips. You sure, you want us, to open the sealed units?" "Once we do, the value will plummet. Won't be worth half, of what it is now!"
They would not be persuaded from what they wanted. "Alright! Go away, we will sort this. Yes they will be there on time!"
Delise, had decided, they needed to sort out some male dancers. Minutes later, it was only the Galweis Triplets left. Balyna looked at the other two. She grinned as they moved towards the Embrionic units.
In the Great Hall, rehearsals were under way. Everyone bar those providing it, had been locked out! About two hours later? The Great Hall was once again accessible.
"Don't ask! All I know is we can take in the refreshments, we've been given the all clear to set up the food and drinks." Elite Mers was not going to argue with the Kets. She had waited patiently to be given the all clear for the rest of the proceedings to be sorted. Those who had been rehearsing, off to change?
"Genuine period costumes?" "Totally." Dario had helped his sister secure them, if only for the evening. Their owners wanted them back! As for those locks of hair?
Galyna had managed quite cleverly, to take a strand from each of the units, with a skill that had her fellow triplets in awe of her. You could have examined the units and not known, anything had been removed. Resealed and returned via Cala to Becci who surprised Aisha when out of the blue, she appeared and handed the package back to her.
If Aisha had been worried, she was relieved to see the items untouched. In the condition she had given them to Becci?
It might have puzzled her, as to what the heck was going on, but she shook her head and headed to give them back, to Dario. He glanced at them, tucked them into his pocket.
On his way back to his domicile, stepping out from the shadows Delise? She smiled, stopping him, to ask him if he wanted to sell the item, he had just had returned to him? Three hundred slips down to two hundred and fifty. A deal.
She paid him and pocketed the package.
Leaving her he walked off in the opposite direction satisfied at another profitable venture. Delise grinned.
By the end of the evening she could sell that item for three times what she had paid him for them.
