ksmithStill plugging along on the chapter 15 rewrite. About 2000 words today. Closing in on done. One more scene, then sleep for a few hours.
Snippet from the opening:
Jani entered the House to find a confab going on in the middle of the courtyard. Dieter, Val, and John, standing amid the empty tables and sundered buffets of late evening sacrament, voices rising.
Then John spotted her. "Where the hell have you been?" He started toward her, more relieved than angry, the first hints of a smile lightening his face.
Then something he saw behind her caused him to slow. Stop. Clench his fists.
Jani heard the entry door close. Footsteps.
"Stormy." Lucien removed his weatherall and shook it, sending water spraying. "I'm guessing it'll last the night."
