Lorenz looked at her. “Another time, ma'am, I have to be back at the Maca's side within the hour.” He turned back to Laten.
“I'm going to need you and Dolo later tonight. Don't get too exhausted in your reunion.”
“Laird, my counselor, my laddie, and I would lay our heads on your shoulders.” Lavina bowed as she intoned the words.
“As long as someone keeps them covered.” Lorenz could think of no way to refuse that would not have offended them. He heard the Sisters gasp as the still Ab clothed Laten took the stunner from Luman. Lorenz realized that this society was far more stratified than what his father had told him.
