All the next morning, Jali was hanging out for Tira’s promised message from Trevali. He hadn’t been able to get any work done and so had sent the new client that had come along to Xhen. Jali’s nerves were wired to the highest pitch and he had paced his office until he was sure he had left a trail of wear in the carpet. “What do you think?” Jali asked, not taking his eyes off it. Xhen looked from the package to Jali and then back at the package. “What?” he shrugged “Is it your name day and I missed it?” Jali looked up at Xhen. “It’s interesting you say that.” But nothing happened.
