Difference between revisions of "Summary:White Sand"

As Kenton returns above to meet with Aarik, Senior Trackt Ais arrives, informing Kenton that High Judge Heelis has assigned her to be his bodyguard. Kenton blows her off and departs—immediately realizing he has just acted exactly as Drile did the day before—he immediatelyquickly returns to apologize and asks her to use the ladders if that is her preference.

Lord Admiral Delius is dropping half-drunk glasses of wine from his balcony while goading the [[Kelzi]]n that are petitioning him to curb his drinking. They depart as Kenton, Aarik, and Ais arrive. Delius's [[Delius's Sons_son|Steward]] shows them in. The Lord Admiral assures Kenton that he will vote for him, because he always votes the opposite of Lord Merchant Vey; and, as a Kerztian, Vey is sure to oppose the Diem. As Kenton's party departs, Delius asks his Steward what he thinks the Kelzin think of the Sand Masters. The Steward explains that most Kelzin are Kerztian, or at least Ker'Reen, and will therefore hate the Sand Masters. Delius agrees with a very malicious (and sober) gleam of the eye.
