Draiss enlivened the story with illusions, using the lessons Ama had given him, though he was very concerned about her, it had been months since she had slipped in to see him, and that was not like her.

He kept up the story, though part of him was still waiting for the status report of the plane, as well as the weekly report from Kammy and Ash. They were slightly overdue, though Kammy usually was when Ash was busy elsewhere.
