Luk was not surprised to hear back so soon from Rachel. He expected it actually. He smiled broadly as she spoke and they set up a time.
He wished it were spring and not the middle of winter, the cold was annoying and today it was bitter with the wind. He hoped they could spend much of the time inside. But who knew where the tour would take them.
The latest religion was full of people who believed and followed the Ascendancy as if he was a god. He was a mere mortal with a great deal of power. Only the Atharim believed they were really gods. The whole family hated the Atharim. But that was for later. He had no ultierior motives at the moment but the Shale name did ring a bell.
The building was unique and Luk was early waiting in the bitter cold with a hot cup of coffee for both of them. He had to take a guess at what she liked his coffee was black and stout just the way he liked it.
