"I never thought you would come back, my lady." The woman bowed gracefully. "After Midnight's murder I was sure that you would never return."

"That is well, my lady. I can begin now, is that fine?"
"Yes, of course it is. I need to go round up my old allies anyway. I'll be back in an hour. When you are finished, you may leave."
"Yes, my lady." Velika bowed, and walked into a kitchen as Akemi walked out the door. She covered herself with the shadows, moving about silently and slowly, with elegant, snakelike quickness.
