597 - We Made a Mess
I laughed until I was wrung out and limp, lying on
Gan who was just as limp. The girls were
leaning back against the walls of the gently rocking platform.
Fluffy grumbled and Bella had her big, fat, block
head on my gut. It actually didn't
hurt. It was as if she pressed the hurt
out of my stomach muscles and growled at it if it tried to creep back.
"You know, Minis, Gan, Ky… this just

596 - Give Me the Lookers!
"Shush, shush, be quiet or they'll catch us!"
"Well, give me the lookers! To actually draw the pictures I need to see!"
"I need to write the story or the High Editor won't
buy the pretty pictures you draw!"
"Ow…ooch…It was my mother's sister's second cousin's
aunt by marriage who heard that he was going to ask her today and where.
So give me the lookers! Ow."

595 - She Like
I hung onto my temper with everything I had and
took a deep breath. Gan had no idea I
wanted this to be so good. He was just
teasing me as if everything were normal.
Ky wasn't upset. She… and Fara
both looked very happy.
Erl was there to escort us to the waiting
mamoka. "Sers, Serinas." It would all be fine, I told myself. They were all happy and the mamoka was
beautifully turned

594 - To Honour My Friends
I was so happy, sitting on this beautiful
horse. She was so smoothly paced it was almost like flying. And Minis had probably driven the poor stable
staff to distraction that she'd be perfect for me. He was so wonderful… such a
silly serin, thinking he was just being himself.
I was so glad I'd seized hold of my fear when we
were in Yeola-e. Fara and I had talked
about it privately

593 - What's So Funny?
I met Ky at the Steel Gate, and offered her my comb
as she stepped out of her chair. She was
dressed absolutely gloriously, in a green and silver outfit. The silver embroidery outlining leaves over
the green silk. It wasn't a dress
though. It was the split style that people were calling Kyriala's Ride… after
her being in exile with me and riding… astride… all over the empire rather than

AN
Sorry Guys... I've just spent the whole weekend packing my house into one bay of the double garage and just got back. No post tonight.
My extreme thanks to Dave and Cat for the help. Three solid days of back-wrenching work. I have come to the conclusion I have too much stuff.

592 - A Prostrated Collapse
I tried to let the frigid temperatures of flying
home cool my overheated head. I needed to
set my household on it immediately. The
moment my feet hit the roof of the Marble Palace.
My stomach twisted, even if I was not going to let
it out on anyone. I planned all day… in
my head, in the air. We didn't relay,
stopping for the overnight and I just couldn't let go of Ky's arm as I

591 - Blush Me Red
As we got up from breakfast, Chevenga said "I want
a word with you, Minis."
"Oh, certainly." He was speaking as if it were important. What had
happened? An emergency of some kind? Or had I done something wrong?
I could feel my gut clench, tight around my happiness from my late night
dreams. I could see Ky's face, worried for me. I smiled at her.

590 - Over the Breakfast Table
Kyriala had this enormous smile on her face this
morning. So did I. I kept catching sight of myself in various
reflections in the Hearthstone. I tried to
tell myself that it was just our joy at Kall and Laisa's announcement of
betrothal but... was it because of the dreams I'd had the night before? Had she dreamed too? Oh… she wouldn't have dared… would she? Oh… oh… I thought to the
