Dreamer nodded slowly.  At least if Sherra stayed behind with Feldana, should Dreamer and Kitten "buy the farm" there was a chance that the little one would reach Kassemar alive.  No place was safe for furs right now, but she'd be better off there than here... probably.<br/><br/>"All right," he said.  "That does sound like a plan... though I'd have to suggest the civil war aspect be just an extra.  Maeve and Feldana are our priority right now."  He shivered, reminded that Maeve was waiting, suffering who knew what, while they were talking here.  "Fine, we'll try that.  You give us one hour, then you head for Kassem... Kazmer.  Whether there's violence or not..." he didn't say it, but he knew there would be... This 'Lanner' was going to pay for what he'd done.  "It'll all be over before an hour's passed."<br/><br/>He frowned suddenly.  Lanner... wait, hadn't there been one of Maeve's slave workers named Lanner?  Or was he mistaken?  No... yes...?<br/><br/>"Come to think of it... he may know me... I may recognize him when I see him, too.  If it's the same guy... he'll probably remember me..." He scowled.  Anyone from the farm would remember the 'incident...' he might not have as much of an advantage as he had at first thought.<br/><br/>"Kitten, I may say a lot of nasty things against furs in there... I won't mean any of them, I'm telling you right away, but I'll have to cover for how I was when I lived here.  I was one of the better-treated slaves, so I might have to... compensate."<br/><br/>He frowned again.  Truthfully, he doubted anyone would go to war with Shark... from what Dreamer had seen of the man, only an idiot would defy him openly.  But if it DID work... it would also cover their escape.<br/><br/>"Right, let's go, then," he said.  He looked up and down the road to be sure no one was coming, then said, "Sherra?"
