Michel could barely believe his ears.  An invitation to see the Hatching.

  "I apologize for my earlier..apprehension," he stated, "I was unsure 
why someone of so high a standing would be approaching me."

  Aleta nodded.  She seemed about to say more, but instead said "If you 
are going, we should leave soon."

  Michel agreed.  He set up a time to meet her later shortly thereafter, 
stating that he had to take care of a brief bit of personal business first.

  As he left Traveler's Rest, he headed back to the alley that served as 
his "Home".  Carie was waiting for him.  At 17, she was very old for her 
age.  Having lived on the streets as long as Michel, she had picked up 
many of the same skills.

  " 'lo Brother," she said happily, "Anything of interest today?"

  "Just this," he said, tossing out several coins.  "These shouldn't be 
missed, and I wasn't caught.  Also, something weird happened to me 
today.  I can't speak long, but, I was approached by a Dragonrider.  She 
wanted me to come with her to the Hatching."

  Carie said "Aren't you too old?"

  "That's what i thought.  It will probably amount to nothing, but, it 
will give me a chance to be around folk a..Lot more wealthy than most 
around here."  Michel shrugged.  "But, this should take care of ya til i 
get back.  I don't think it will take too long."

  "Then take care, Brother, and fate be with you."

  "You as well, Carie.."

Several minutes later, Michel had a small pack made up, and was waiting 
for Aleta to meet him.  She came several minutes later, as Michel was 
watching some people nearby.

  "Greetings, M'lady" he said.  She greeted him back, and they were on 
their way to the Warren.
