Mika entered her father's office to see him working to clear the piles of paperwork from his desk.
"You're here."
"En…" She sat down in an extra seat, "Are you going to stop work for a bit when we start the meeting."
"...yeah." Mano said absentmindedly. Mika shook her head, lately her father has become a workaholic.
Soon afterwards her mother and grandfather walked into the room.
"Are we just waiting for Ailwin?" Lyra looked around.
"En, we will fill everyone else in on what we have decided later." Mika replied just as Ailwin entered.
"Okay, let's get started… Mano?" Lyra called.
"Yes, I'm coming."
The five of them sat in a circle looking at a map of the continent on a table. Mika pointed at Bidian, "There has been some movement coming from Bidian that is unusual."
"Like that?" Zo asked.
