| K'del spent a few weeks - with B'sil; thank fuck for B'sil - investigating, after receiving the information from K'ndro. It wasn't too difficult, in the end, to add two more names to the list of definites, and a few, too, who were suspicious but just couldn't be confirmed. Interrogating the three was awful. This wasn't just some holders or raiders or someone like that: these were riders, and they'd done this because of him. To him. About him. They didn't really deny it. But they didn't confirm anyone else, either. K'del was pretty sure B'mel had been involved, but there was no proof. "Just got to let it go," said B'sil, equally frustrated, but calm, too. "Just the way it is. We'll watch him." We'll transfer him out of Hailstorm, you better believe it, though K'del, though he nodded. They separated the trio, took away their privileges, made sure they couldn't go anywhere without permission from one of the queens. Igen was willing to take one of them, promising they'd made sure he never had the opportunity to do anything more. K'del wanted to keep one at the weyr: a signal to other people, he explained. It didn't really feel like enough, making him endlessly watchrider, but what else was there? It all made him feel dirty. These were riders. And the timing was bad. He had to leave straight from the sentencing to go to Fort and pick up his mother and Kash and the baby, and take them back to Tillek. Kash barely looked at him, and wouldn't touch her son, and all he wanted to do was put his arms around her and tell her things would be all right, but she flinched when she was touched even a little bit. But it was good to be away from the weyr for a while. It wasn't that he was hiding... well, all right, it was that he was hiding a little bit. Mostly, he was just trying to keep his head down, to do his work and move on. He knew people were looking towards Iovniath, knew that if public sentiment had anything to do with it, he'd be moving out sooner rather than later; but then, hadn't public sentiment always said that? At least most people were still loyal. They might not like him, but he was the Weyrleader, and they were loyal to the Weyr, and that meant to him. More or less. He worried about his sister. He kept close tabs on the former Hailstorm riders now flying in his wing. He eyeballed Sh'kel every chance he could. Traitor. Bastard. Treasonous filth. |
