I watched as Tanex’s fingers bridged again as he debated what to say to Ximh and Rexikat. A strange smile was taking form on his face, but it was far from a happy smile. He turned his attention back to me for a split second.
“Well?” I asked sharply.
“Let me deal with our unexpected guests at the moment,” he answered. “Welcome you two. We were all just discussion future plans, and I will have one of the children explain it to you later.”
Xyta gave Tanex a defiant glare, but he just smiled back. Aidex looked from Xyta to Tanex with a worried look.
“I know you have been listing as carefully as the rest of us,” Tanex answered. “Now the if you wouldn’t mind, please take one of the empty seats for now. We have three chairs open due to Marlex, RaXi, and Xemmsur’s absences. Actually…….” Tanex stopped. “Please wait a moment or two. I will be back shortly.”
Tanex vanished into a portal leaving his chair vacant. I looked from Rexikat to Ximh and then back to Rex.
“How did you two get in here?” I asked.
“Long story,” Rexikat answered.
“Same,” Ximh answered.
I sighed and nodded.
“Um…..” Aidex said walking over towards Rexikat and Ximh. “I….I can tell you what they said…..”
With that Aidex retold everything that was said at the meeting with astounding accuracy. After she was finished, Aidex turned her head and ran back towards the base of Nyx’s chair. Rexikat and Ximh sat in two of the vacant chairs, and we waited in silence for Tanex to return.
