*** Yasmine ***

Yasmine curled up to nap after the warrenlady had left. She was mentally
and emotionally exhausted from all the questions. She slept fitfully, but a
few hours went by and the door opened, awakening her. There stood A'rillia
and younger girl of about the same age as Yasmine.

"Good afternoon Goldenrod, I've brought someone to meet you.  This is
Ailill," Arri greeted her.

The girl looked at Yasmine as if she knew her and yet Yasmine had no
recollection of ever meeting the girl, though she looked friendly enough.
Yasmine sat up, rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and looked at the girl
with confusion, "Do I know you?"

"I'm the one who found you," Ailill announced as if it was obvious.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember much. I remember two voices, but..." Yasmine
shook her head slowly in confusion as she tried to piece things together.
Strange how some of the past few days events were so clear in her mind that
they wouldn't go away and others so vague she could barely recall them.

"I am sorry, I my memory fails me," Yasmine apologized, "But I thank you
for finding me and bringing me to safety. You wouldn't happen to know who
the other person was, so I could thank him?"

*** Lord Utha ***

Lord Utha arrived unhappily at Marrid, complaining loudly as he climbed off
the back of the dragon that had transported him from Marrid. Just then two
other dragons landed on the green, with Trey, Diana, and the twins.

Totally ignoring the female dragonrider who had been dispatched to fetch
him, Hiram Utha went straight toward Trey and demanded, "Show me where
you're med center is, and tell your warrenlady, Waylene, I am here."

*** Yasmine ***

Yasmine and Ailill talked quietly, albeit awkwardly, under A'rillia's
watchful eye. Suddenly the door burst open and in walked Hiram Utha.

"Papa!" Yasmine cried out, the fear showing in her voice. She slid down
under the covers, making herself even smaller if that was possible.

"Yasmine! What is the meaning of this?" Lord Utha demanded.

"Papa, I..."

"I won't here any of it. Here you are, embarrassing our family that way."

"But Papa, I did nothing wrong," Yasmine protested.

"That's what I expected you'd say!" the old man blustered, "You are just
like your mother, acting like a slut!" He raised his hand, preparing to
slap Yasmine across the face when he was interrupted by a voice from behind.

"Lord Utha, If I may have a word with you," Waylene said sternly from the
doorway.

Utha, hand still raised, looked at his daughter who had shrank down even
farther and was sobbing in terror, and back at the warrenlady, and slowly
lowered his hand.

"Now," Waylene prompted. "A'rillia, take care of Yasmine, please." With
that Waylene and Lord Utha stepped out of the room.
