Images never fully formed ... yet almost memories. Mister Steel will get Woodcarver. "Oh,
mbt habari sale,
复件 (46) air max1, oh. Old Tyrathect is coming across the castle yard this way." Thumping sounds came from the hole as Amdi blundered back down. No point in letting Tyrathect know that there was a tunnel hidden in the wall. He'd probably just order them to stay away from it. One, two, three, four -- half of Amdi popped out of the wall. The four wandered around a little dazedly. Jefri couldn't tell if it was because of their stretched-out experience or if they were temporarily split from the other half of the pack. "Act natural. Act natural." Then the other four arrived, and Amdi began to settle down. He led Jefri away from the wall at a fast trot. "Let's get the commset. We'll pretend we've been trying to raise Ravna with it." Amdi knew well that the starship couldn't be back for another thirty minutes or so. In fact,
复件 (84) air max2, he had been the one who verified the math for Mister Steel. Nevertheless, he chased up the ship's steps and dragged down the radio. The two were already plugging the antenna into a signal booster when the public doors on the west side of the dome were unlatched. Silhouetted against the daylight were parts of a guard pack, and a single member of Tyrathect. The guard retired, sliding the doors shut, and the Cloak walked slowly across the moss towards them. Amdi rushed over and chattered about their attempts to use the radio. It was a little forced, Jefri thought. The puppies were still confused by their trip through the walls. The singleton looked at the powdering of mortar dust on Amdi's pelt. "You've been climbing in the walls, haven't you?" "What?" Amdi looked himself over, noticed the dust. Usually he was more clever. "Yes," he said shamefacedly. He brushed the powder away. "You won't tell, will you?" Fat chance he'll help us, thought Jefri. Mr. Tyrathect had learned Samnorsk even better than Mr. Steel,
复件 (7) air max1, and besides Steel was the only one who had much time to talk with them. But even before the radio cloaks,
复件 air max, he'd been a short-tempered, bossy sort. Jefri had had baby-sitters like him. Tyrathect was nice up to a point, and then would get sarcastic or say something mean. Lately that had improved, but Jefri still didn't like him much. But Mr. Tyrathect didn't say anything right away. He sat down slowly, as if his rump hurt. "... No, I won't tell." Jefri exchanged a surprised glance with one of Amdi. "What is the tunnel for?" he asked timidly. "All castles have hidden tunnels, especially in my ... in the domain of Mr. Steel. You want ways to escape, ways to spy on your enemies." The singleton shook its head. "Never mind. Is your radio properly receiving, Amdijefri?" Amdi cocked a head at the comm's display. "I think so, but there's nothing yet to receive. See, Ravna's ship had to decelerate and um, I could show you the arithmetic...?" But Mr. Tyrathect was obviously not interested in playing with chalk boards. "... well, depending on their luck with the ultradrive, we should have radio with them real soon." But the little window on the comm showed no incoming signal. They watched it for several minutes. Mr. Tyrathect lowered his muzzle and seemed to sleep. Every few seconds his body twitched as with a dream. Jefri wondered what the rest of him was doing. Then the comm window was glowing green. There was a garble of sound as it tried to sort signal from background noise. "... over you in five minutes," came Ravna's voice. "Jefri? Are you listening?" "Yes,
复件 (52) air max1! We're here." "Let me talk to Mr. Steel, please." Mr. Tyrathect stepped nearer to the comm. "He is not here now, Ravna." "Who is this?"
