Who: Evvy and Tris Where: The market What: A reunion
Evvy put her journal away, having told Tris that she was leaving to find her. She smiled. It was good to know she'd be able to see the temperamental redhead again. "Luvo, guess who I'm going to meet," she said, as the crystal creature emerged from under the bed.
"Who, Evumeimei? I am not in the mood for a guessing game."
"Tris. She's here!"
"May I accompany you, Evumeimei?" he asked, always polite. "I have been in this room too long, I think."
"Sure. I'll get the sling." She finished tying on a black headscarf that matched her tunic and picked up the handy sling she'd worked up to carry Luvo. She fastened her sandals before she put him in the sling, then set off.
It was a short walk to the marketplace; once she reached it, she looked around for Tris. It should have been easy to spot the redhead against the identical masses that made up most of the population of the Realm, but it took her a moment to find the chubby girl. When she did, she trotted over and was surprised at how young Tris looked. She looked to be about the same age as Briar, who was now only two years older than Evvy instead of the usual four.
"Tris!" she greeted the weatherwitch, glad to see a familiar face. "Have you killed anyone yet?"
