The curses were in my head. Most were about Nu-reeh, swere directed at me. The men wondered what possessedto speak to Nu-reeh.
“Yes, Mistress,” Kein said harshly, “is all you need to say to her.”

Christof shushed his Brothers’ conversation and looked into my eyes.
“Swomen,” he said gently, “you can have a conversation with, just not Nu-reeh. With her it is better to just answer simply. She can be very intolerant. Tosu may cand speak to you. She will easily talk to you and enjoys those interactions. Nu-reeh is not like that.”

Fuji had said her men had made a mess of the bedroom the night prior. She had fought them Like they Liked and they’d torn the room apart. Rose and I both laughed at how much Stayne and his Brothers liked Fuji’s fake resistance.
Damien and his Brothers were loud in my head. Once they had tto process what Nu-reeh had said they understood better. The men that the bandits took belonged to Nu-reeh. Their disappearance upset her greatly. That may explain why she was treating us so oddly.
Evan talked casually to the men in the sorting room. He wandered family to family gathering information. They told him that Nu-reeh had been getting a shorter and shorter temper over the Last several moons. The loss of the families under her care had angered her greatly. She was tasked with protecting men, their loss hurt the whole planet.
