I am hardly his master, nor keeper. It will likely not help you much anyhow, for many a reason we don’t tend to get attached to material possessions. You can try I guess, but Talia did. Talia failed. We got separated in the Ashen Lands. I don’t generally give the Cat tasks, he takes them upon himself. He is not half so foolish as he pretends.” He raised his gaze again, began to look around his friends gathered here.“Or he was not. Let me explain, in short at least. I left for two reasons. One, to draw Deanna off. I didn’t like how things were going and wanted to move the main target – me – away from the all of you.” His eyes rest on Yelena and Katya for a moment as he pauses. “The second was to try and do something active, force her off balance and onto the defensive. We were playing her game, and it could never end well. I used a lay line to get into the faerie lands and headed to the Rose Court as I hoped be able to persuade them that Deanna was as much of a threat to them as to us, and take action accordingly. Talia was present on my arrival at the Court, hardly surprising as she has as much, possibly more, right to be there as me. She helped me persuade them. Command of a legion was given to Talia, and they helped us get into the Ashen Lands. With Deanna on this earth, there was little control at her keep, and we were able to take it with the help of the Court warriors.” Another pause, his eyes drop again.“It was during that battle I lost track of the Cat. Our front line broke at one point and by the time it had reformed I could see no sign of him.” His gaze turned to Talia.“Have I missed anything?”Talia shrugs. “I think you got most of it. Skipped a few points here and there perhaps, but that keeps it short. One thing I would like to know?”He nods at her. “What?”“Who is she?” Talia pointed at Katya. She had noticed the way Katya watched her husband, and the way he occasionally glanced at her.“Her name is Katya, a minstrel born of a couple of merchants. Beyond that, I don’t see how it is any of your business. Not no more.”</blockquote>
