((OoC: this will be my last one before I keep Nez from replaying - sorry Thal - lots of responses happening - and thank you for understanding.))
Another notification came through but Elyse ignored it for the time being. Cade had come out of his shell and offered to help. This was new, and more so, he offered her a flower. Elyse saw the subtle way the flower responded to his gentle touch and his humming, and she remembered the stories of such people. Cade was a singer - whether he knew it or not she didn’t know.
”This is so sweet,” she said accepting the flower with a smile. ”I will treasure this!” she slipped it in her hair, held up by her ear. ”Please excuse me while I check this.”
She read the message, and even though she hadn’t expected it, she kept the surprise off her face. She thought of telling Sage to tell Nox to not get involved, but she knew her ex enough to know that he wouldn’t back down. The moment Nox found out her father had moved against her was the moment Peter Andersen’s death warrant was signed.
She sent Sage a message.
Thats…a lot…and kind of a relief. You’re a good man, Sage. I have some more thoughts I’ll send you later. I need to disconnect from this a bit - let it sink in. But answer me this - Elyse doesn’t have to die? And if she doesn’t - she’ll not be attracting more Atharim attention - I mean more than she would with the association from Kallisti? Please keep me informed on my father if you know anything else.
She put her wallet down and turned back to Cade. ”Distractions would help! You know, if you like flowers - you should check out the flower shop in the market. Most beautiful I’ve seen.” Elyse had an inkling that the red haired proprietor of the shop had a similar gift.
