Meena
***

"What do you need me to do?" Meena asked, looking up at the tall man.

"Just bump into him, let him apologize and move on. I'll do the rest."

Meena looked at him with doubt in her eyes, but she had to do something.
They had to find Greta. Greta was the only sister she had .. even if they
weren't really sisters. And if nothing else this was definitely keeping her
mind off of Devon.

"Now," H'tor whispered.

Taking at deep breath she headed around the corner, their plan working
perfectly, as Timone nearly plowed her over. Meena said nothing as the
large guard looked at her with wide eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Carameen." He smiled apologetically, "I didn't see you
coming."

Meena nodded briefly before moving on as he moved out of her way. Meena
moved quickly around the next corner until she hear the dull thump she knew
was coming.

>Meena studied him for a moment. She was remembering how he'd knocked Devon
with ruthless purpose. Meena felt that this was not the man to leave a
helpless prisoner with. "Don't hurt him, H'tor," she said. "We don't do
that at Norwall."

>"I won't leave another mark on him," he said as he began to pull him into
the back again, and from there his voice called out to her. "I'm just going
to make him believe a few things that may or may not be true, and maybe
explain a few other things to him." There was a short pause as something
scraped across the floor. "Somehow I doubt anyone's really explained to
this gentleman how these things tend to work out." Several moments more
passed and H'tor's voice spoke a last time from what was clearly a room
some distance from this one. "Gather your charges Meena," he called out.
"I'm going to need an audience." 

>And with that Meena turned and left.

She wasn't happy with the way things were going. H'tor certainly seemed
more violent then she had expected. Sure she'd heard the rumors, but for
the most part had discounted them. This was the man who had saved her son
after all. He had been extremely gentle with Demee.

Though now she wasn't so sure she liked the way the small boy had come to
admire the tall man. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, after all. Though
she didn't know how she could stop it.

<Vonn, I need you to tell Naomi we have Timone. H'tor wants her to come and
bring Lars. Tell her to meet me outside Harkon's quarters.>

<I will tell her, Meena.> There was a pause as the albino dragon spoke to
the Warrenlady. <She's on her way.>

<Thank you, love. How is Demee?> Meena had gotten used, the last few days,
to having Vonn check on how Demee was doing. She was very worried about how
Devon's appearance had effected the boy. 

<He is having fun with Rybeth. He still does not know about Xanith and his
rider.>

<Good.>

Meena then headed to her fathers quarters. This was also something she was
not looking forward to.

She knocked on the door, and was faced with Megandra as the woman opened
the door. "Meena." She said plastering a smile on her face. "What a surprise."

"Hello Megandra. Is my father here?"

"No, not right now," she said, "Though I expect him back anytime now."

"Well, I won't keep you. I'll come back in a little bit." Meena said moving
toward the door.

"You can wait here, it's all right." Megandra said amiably. "You know
Meena, you and I used to be friends. Can't we be again."

Meena smiled, "Of course, Meg. Though as I recall you never quite forgave
me for not marrying your brother."

"Oh, that was years ago. I was young, and I was sure you were making a big
mistake. Imagine choosing a poor cobbler over *my* brother." Meena didn't
allow Megandra's barb to irritate her Megandra pushed back her light brown
hair, "Besides, I was really looking forward to us being sisters."

"Well, now you're my step-mother." 

Just then there was knock at the door again. Megandra's eyes narrowed
slightly, "Busy place this evening."

Regards,
Meena & Vonn

NRPG: I imagine Harkon will be along soon. Probably Naomi is at the door. I
doubt Harkon would knock :}

My next post should be Meena on Patrol to go rescue Rain :}
