An hour passed. Kazi had been going around instructing everyone where to go and how to prepare. Convincing them was simple: all he had to say at the end was, "Your representatives will give further instructions."
However, most people didn't need that assurance. Most players and soldiers were fine listening to him, proxy of his benevolent smile. Everything was going smoothly.
Kazi was at the stables, feeding the fifty-plus horses when a muscled brunette in a pony-tail arrived. Long eyelashes staring up at the horse, who seemed eager for his touch, he did not immediately address her. His hazel eyes were a source of comfort, as was his natural aura and scent. The horses loved him. A blend of masculine and feminine features that transcended into home for all he laid eyes upon.
"You sure like to steal the show," Ksenia commented. She put an arm on the fence, inadvertently showing she was as tall as Kazi himself. "Did you work in the military or something?"
