	''If the wraiths are still after me, then I'd say my worldview's justified'', Irina thought back. "True enough. It could also be something like Petra. The western world lost it for 1500 years but the Bedouins who lived there knew where it was all along. It could be you just haven't talked to the right people." Irina turned the page on her paper and continued mentally. ''As much as I would love to talk archaeology and ancient lore with you, I have to get moving. They'll expect me to turn back home in another minute. Is there anything else you need to pass on to me?''<br><br>		''If the wraiths are still after me, then I'd say my worldview's justified'', Irina thought back. "True enough.

	"There are no ''right'' people for this sort of thing, only the right sort of ''wrong'' people." Renny flashed her a boyish smile. "And I think that's me." He stood up and began folding his section of the paper. ''I wouldn't fret too much. They are still looking for the wrong thing in the wrong place. Also, your Aura's gone through a bit of a makeover since our little encounter with Murkel''.~~<br><br>~~		"There are no ''right'' people for this sort of thing, only the right sort of ''wrong'' people."

They are still looking for the wrong thing in the wrong place. Also, your Aura's gone through a bit of a makeover since our little encounter with Murkel''. Renny didn't look back as he turned and began walking south on Boylston, away from the hotel and the Society offices. ''You may want to take it up with the Leos. It's old business and wouldn't involve Natchez folks. Just claim you had a vivid dream. Lonya's been having a ton of those lately. Speaking of which, be sure to wave to her before you leave. 5th floor balcony nearest''.<br><br>

	Renny didn't look back as he turned and began walking south on Boylston, away from the hotel and the Society offices. ''You may want to take it up with the Leos. ~~Its~~ old business and wouldn't involve Natchez folks. Just claim you had a vivid dream. Lonya's been having a ton of those lately. Speaking of which, be sure to wave to her before you leave. 5th floor balcony nearest''.<br><br>

	"I think you're right," Irina said, with a twitch of a smile. ''Thanks. I just might do that''. "Take care, Renny." Irina lingered with the paper until he was half a block away before moving. She pulled the paper together and folded it under her arm, then stepped off for home. She flicked a glance up at the hotel across the way and spotted the Russian and her rifle. Knowing Alona could see it, Irina winked with the tiniest of nods and pushed on. As she walked the three blocks west and two south, she mulled over the conversation and found herself relieved that Renny had remained pretty much the same as she'd remembered him. Odd how of all the people she currently knew and trusted, it was a vampire who proved a touchstone to reality in a life gone increasingly surreal. <br><br>		"I think you're right," Irina said, with a twitch of a smile.

	''Why do you think I am talking into my paper?'' Renny sighed mentally. ''You do realize that part of being in the ‘real world’ is pretending that you’re in it?'' "I don’t know that there’s anything in particular you should worry about, other than maybe not going back." Renny turned his head toward her, looking thoughtfully for a moment. "How’s your French?

	Irina didn't much like Eliza but she respected her. Eliza understood the current era far better than the previous Prince and as such, Irina knew that Eliza was better suited to rule. Even so, everyone had their blind spots. Even before they'd pulled it off, Irina knew the coup would be seen by Eliza's adversaries as an opportunity to test her, watching the city and waiting for her to fatally slip. Irina had planned to offer her services as an investigator to find out who wished the Domain ill. She didn’t get the chance before she had to leave. ''Going on the lam tends to throw a spanner in the works. I need to get back. Get the city ready. I need more time. How many people are going to die because of it?''
