"The kedan aren't taking any chances, they don't trust the Chihuleans, and for good reason. After all, they invaded once before and the Justicar wasn't exactly...reassuring in her message."

Valdis didn't notice any change in him, she hadn't exactly known him well enough to pay much attention and they certainly hadn't parted on friendly terms, though it wasn't as if they hated each other. She herself didn't look a day older, but internally she knew she was different from when she had first arrived in Keeliai.

"My main concern is that we haven't dealt with the internal problems and I can't get the kedan to focus on anything but the Justicar and her forces." She shook her head. "I can teach them to fight and I can teach them self-defense, but if we get caught between two enemies..." She sighed, "At least the family heads seem to be cooperating with each other."
