Maria was styling my hair as I was thinking about the upcoming event organized by the Council.

Aldus said that it's on the property in the Alps, within the Austrian border, and that we will be there in about half an hour with the helicopter.

The good news is that after the event we can go home. The bad news is that we will all go and return together, so I will need to wait for Aldus and Calista to finish their official mingling with the members of the Council and their guests before we can head home.

I wished that we are staying there overnight. It's not that I wanted to linger more than necessary, but an overnight accommodation would give me an opportunity to grab a few snacks, exchange a few smiles, and then go to my room.
