Draiss sensed Ama entering the room, but didn't react. "Well, she has to start somewhere, and it wouldn't be immediately. She would be on the aspect's hip, watching the meetings, learning the books, things like that. It would take years before..."<br/><br/>He paused, head turning to the side slightly as someone contacted him, and sighed suddenly. He held up a hand, indicating he needed a second. "Bastetta, to the common room. Now. No, I don't care what you are doing, this is important. One minute to be here, or you are in trouble with me. It isn't bad, yet, but definitely not good."<br/><br/>He looked up at Tysinni, and sighed again. "Brace yourself for bad news."<br/><br/>He waited a moment, as Bastetta came in, looking irritated at the interruption of whatever she had been doing. Once she was fully in the room and by her mother, looking a bit uneasy, no doubt going through all the pranks, tricks, and mischief to see what she might have done to get this reception. "Tysinni, you father has less than two months left. Your mother likely less than a year."<br/><br/>He formed a portal behind her, straight to the palace gardens where he and Bast had had their talk, and he nodded to it. "I will be along in a couple days, just for a while, again when I have time, and then again when it is time. A task force will be along shortly to ensure there are no problems during that time, and before that a couple construct with enough of your wardrobe to keep you comfortable."
