(Naomi says that you can give Demee to Rybeth for now. The crisis is over)

Lacey breathed a sigh of relief but wondered where Meena was if things 
were alright. She would seek out Naomi as soon as she had dropped the 
little boy off.

"Demee" Lacey said "we need to land now"

Demee protested, but halfheartedly as he was getting sleepy. Lacey 
delivered him to Rybeths waiting arms & explained that noone except her, 
Naomi, or Meena was to be allowed to pick Demee up from her care. Rybeth 
had heard about what had happened earlier & nodded.

Lacey then headed towards Naomi's office when she ran into M'Lent.

"Hi there little one, was looking for you" M'Lent said

Lacey looked puzzled & then grinned at him "I thought you only searched 
out those who did not have dragons yet, M'Lent" she teased.

M'Lent grinned. "Thats what I want to talk to you about, Lacey. Naomi 
says you saw the dragon affinity in little Demee" As Lacey nodded he 
continued" Why didn't you tell anyone that you can see the affinty?"

"Well..." she paused "First of all, its only recently been developing & 
second.."

"Yes?" M'Lent prompted

"Well, there's no way they are going to send me to Travellors rest to 
search as they wouldn't put me in an environment like that by myself & I 
didn't think it really useful if I couldn't do what you do" Lacey stated.

M'Lent threw back his head & laughed. "Lacey, anyone who can search is 
needed. People like you & I are rare. Your talent needs to be trained"

Lacey sighed. "I had a feeling...." she paused & then added "I already 
have so little time to myself. I know that seems selfish, but sometimes I 
just want time to walk the forests & hills"

"I know little one, & someday you will also be Warrenlady, when its your 
sister's time to step down" M'lent said "Its a lot for a little one like you"

Lacey nodded "But I guess I need to grow up a little. Naomi needs me"

M'Lent nodded. "So then you will meet me at different times to learn?"

Lacey nodded reluctantly.

"Good. Now, I need to get a little rest" M'Lent said & kissed Lacey on 
the forehaed & hugged her & walked off.

Lacey headed for Naomi's office to find out what had happened with Lord 
Harkon. She still had a hard time believeing that she had stood up to him 
& D'Gerrit. She hoped she hadn't made things worse for Naomi. She knocked 
on Naomi's door.

"Come in" she heard her sisters voice.

She walked in."Oh, I am sorry" as she noticed a man sitting in the chair 
near Naomi's desk "Garnet said you wanted to see me...this is the second 
time I have walked in on you today, sis" Lacey grinned at her sister.

She walked over to the man who sat there & held out her hand. "Hi, I am 
Lacey, Naomi's sister, Queenrider of Garnet. It's nice to meet you."
