The thread in motion part 2

"Can we just go inside? I have things to ask Zeno right now and I also need to get Alan introduced" Alan? She vaguely recognised that name. Someone's important brother.

So this was a big shot which was very good for their plan. He could get them the final piece of information that Mark might not be able to. She would also get time to start working at him.

Hopefully.

"Let's go then. Zeno has had enough of waiting" now she had even more workload.

Mark could not read Shiro at all and neither could Alan. they could feel her power and emotions but not her actual thoughts about the whole issue. Was she happy to have another companion? Was she cautious? Was she angry?

There was no way for them to tell what she would end up doing in the future but there was one confusing factor in all this - her scent of fear. It was faint and buried up under a lot of other things but it was there nonetheless.
