Revna left the embassy and made her way down the street towards Sloan Square. There she crossed the park to the merchant district, where the city’s hotels were located. Their house would be ready in about a week, after Seamus and Ragna’s. Revna had insisted. They had been living in the penthouse long enough. It was a wonderful place, but she thought some normalcy would help Ragna. She was different, but Revna wasn’t sure what had caused it. She didn’t press though, as Ragna was steadfast in refusing to discuss it. The story was Ragna’s own.

Revna entered the Seven Palms and scanned her bracelet to the private lifts and then stepped into their own penthouse. “Mike! Remember you love me!”

Revna, Lady McKenzie

“Won’t ever forget it!” he bellowed from somewhere in the back. “What did you do now that would make me wanna forget?”

Revna laughed as she followed his voice. She stood in the doorway and sighed at the sight of him. “I just came from my meeting with Ambassador Mathis.” She held up a hand, “I’m NOT going back to diplomatic work. I am going to spend tomorrow at the embassy helping her. That news blurb last night about the murder of Dashiel Jones. He was her only staff here. They worked together 8 years. She has no one else. Not even basic staff. I’m going to help her do interviews. Oh and we’re going to meet her and her family at the farmer’s market at Sloan Square this Saturday.”

Revna, Lady McKenzie

Mike was in the middle of getting dressed; a process he slowed down considerably when Revna’s eyes fell on him. “That’s cool. I gotta meet with the Governor tomorrow anyway. And then me, Seamus, and Capall are gonna go look at somethin’ Seamus found on the land. So you do your bit for God and Country… and I’ll tend to our wayward clan.” He slowly pulled up his pants and then shook his hefty backside at her. “And then I’m gonna find us a Clan bar!”

“I thought you were opening a bar. I was looking forward to it too, and Runa might start a revolt if you don’t.” Revna watched with obvious appreciation. “I can take time to go to that meeting, we really should both be there, and I doubt Mathis will begrudge me time to meet with him. I make my own schedule now, and you come first, Clan second, everything else I’ll decide as it comes.” She walked over and before he could get his shirt on and pressed up against him, wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him hungrily.

“I would love to stay in this room with you, for the rest of the day and all night, but the colony ship has been cleared to land. We have live stock and people to settle. And I really don’t want to miss the reunion of Seamus and Ragna with their four legged monsters.”

Revna, Lady McKenzie

“I am, but that takes a back seat to getting us settled. Until then, we will need a pub.” Mike said as he finished dressing. “And of course you can come. Means I will have to do less of the talking.” he said with a grin.

Mike

“That’s going to have to be a really big pub.” Revna chuckled, “You know I’m usually the one listening not doing the talking.” She kissed him along his neck and his jaw. “Two more nights in a real bed and then we get to camp until everything is built. We should make the most of it.”

Revna, Lady McKenzie

Bump

Mike smiled and said “‘Camping’ may not be the best descriptor.” and he laughed. “So because we don’t have access to water yet, living off the land isn’t viable right now. So… as we speak there are crews setting up prefab structures for each family. Once we get water flowing.. which we just gotta, or else we are SO screwed, we can start moving those that want to into more ‘traditional’ housing.”

Mike

“Well it will be a lot rougher than some people have ever experienced. It will take some adjustment.” She stopped kissing him to turn and grab a PaDD. “However, despite her dislike of leaving home, Ragna has been very busy on the clan’s behalf. Power, sewer, and Water have been run from the colony to our lands. We just have to open the reservoirs. We might have to haul water for a bit. And the wind and solar collectors have to be finalized. But all the plans have been approved and an inspector will be out in 3 days to answer any questions.”

Revna, Lady McKenzie

Mike’s eyebrows raised. “Well damn… you go, Ragna. Nicely done.” He paused and looked at Revna. “Have you noticed a… I dunno… ‘shift’, I guess… in Ragna? I mean, when we left she was, uhhhh…” and he smiled at Revna, knowing how protective she was of her baby sister. “… we’ll say ‘set in her ways and lacking in flexability’.” and he chuckled. “But now? Now she seems… I dunno… more engaged with everybody.”
