I strode into the hall where the meeting was to take place. I saw the eight lords sitting at the head, waiting. I looked around the table and saw Re'at, Sif'ar and Ki'o were already here and waiting. Re'at was holding his wounded hand that was now bandaged in a sling.
"Now that the accused is here we will begin. Lord General De'rax do you agree with the charges brought against you today?"
I stood to my full height as I answered. "No I do not."
"Very well then can you tell the lords why you don't?"
"Certainly. The three of them barged into my home unannounced and knocked over my butler."
"The three of them? Can you specify the three you are talking about?"
"Re'at, Sif'ar and Ki'o are the three."
"Thank you for being clear lord General. Carry on with your side."
"Yes sir. As I was saying. That they barged in almost knocking my butler over."
"Almost? You mean he wasn't? Why is that?"
I gritted my teeth. I was getting perturbed by the constant interruption. "No my partner steadied him before he fell."
"Your partner is the one in question is he not?"
"SHE is my lord."
"Ah female, I see. Continue."
"She stopped him from falling then returned to my side to greet the intruders. When Re'at approached her I warned him not to touch. He didn't heed my warning and touched anyway. He called her a he as well. It was an insult to her as well as an unwanted touch."
"So she bit him thinking she was defending herself." He grows silent for a few minutes as he thinks. "It has been my experience with females of any kind that unwanted touching leads to bad results. It also sounds like this wolf?" I nod in response. "Has only been on our planet for a few days and hasn't become fully accustomed to our ways. So I find that she remain indoors unless accompanied by you until such time she has become accustomed to our laws. You will keep a sharp eye on her lord General De'rax. I do not want any more mishaps."
"Yes sir. I will teach her. Thank you for your leniency my lord." I bow my thanks.
"Now as for you Re'at, it was your fault you got injured. I suggest from now on you listen to the lord General when he request you not touch. Also Re'at, Sif'ar and Ki'o will be required to complete a manners and respect class as a punishment for barging into a higher level home. That will be all I have to say in the subject. You are all dismissed."
Bowing in respect and turning I leave the room. I am followed out by Re'at, Sif'ar and Ki'o. Re'at being his arrogant self has something to say.
" You won't get away with this De'rax. I will have that wolf for myself I swear. "
With that statement he storms off with the other two following behind like lackeys. I sigh and shake my head at the stupid threat.
I climb into my hover and head back to my home.
Landing in the yard I headed toward the house. Jez'ar opens the door and shouts. "Lord General, Lady Kyra and Caylee are in the woods."
I noded and turned toward the woods. As I got closer I heard laughter and spotted a dress running through the woods. I heard two voices laughing... Who could be with Caylee?
As I got closer I saw the dress again but this time I glanced blonde hair. I stopped and thought. What was Caylee hair color again? I need to pay more attention. I took a deep breath to sigh. That's when I smelled it. The best smell ever. It was light and smelled like lilies. Wait. What is a lilie? I must know or I wouldn't be able to decipher the smell.
I took a other deep breath and followed the scent to the clearing. Where I saw Caylee and Kyra running around the log. I must being seeing things. The dress I spotted is on Caylee and there is no other human besides her. Kyra spots me first and comes over.
"Is something wrong?"
I shake my head no. Motioning back to the house we all turn and head in that direction.
