The success of the ball and the relative quiet of the past month had left Valdis with feelings of both joy and concern. Joy in that many enjoyed the ball. Concern in that the Cultists have been quiet since their last attack. She might have been relieved, if not for Alex’s concern over their lack of movements. She would need to put her ear to the ground and see what she could find.

"I wish I could find something," he said grumpily. "The lack of attacks is, of course, good, but not hearing anything...I don't like it." He shook his head.

"Don't worry too much Alex, they'll slip up sooner or later."

She had doubts about that, but she could hope. It had, however, been far too long without a solid lead, so she understood his frustration.

He snorted. "Maybe their doomsday cult all drank some Flavor-Aid and decided to go meet their god in person."

Then he closed his eyes. "It's less worry and more that I don't like not knowing where my enemies are. Knowing is a habit that's served to keep me alive."

"I'm not sure this is about Malicant anymore, Alex," Valdis sighed, thinking back to her conversation with Devin. "He's dead. They must have some motive that we don't know about yet."

She looked at him, smiling, "Enemies, eh? Well, you have allies here to help keep you alive. The magic helps too."

"A dead and useless ideology hasn't ever stopped anyone with a desire to kill before," he muttered, but let it go.

When she said that, though, he smiled. "That's a definite plus."

[redlightgreenlight]

"True, but understanding their motives will help us figure out their next move."

He didn't want to let it go, but she appreciated that he was trying, so her smile broadened.

"I appreciate the pluses, there aren't enough of them."
