Ahzahi invited Travott into their home when she felt his presence. “Sorry, Travott. Kalgruss is not around. He’s with Brilkatt, asking for some advice about the safety of our egg to ensure she’ll get through the first year and grow up strong, powerful and healthy.” She smiled at him. However, Travott stared at her without smiling back.
“Where is your egg, Ahzahi? Can I see it?”
Ahzahi hesitated for a moment but gestured a hand. “Our daughter’s in our room. We keep her warm, Travott. As you well know, the eggs are sensitive to the cold temperature and must be in a comfortable environment to hatch at the right time.”
“I understand, but is it okay to see your egg, Ahzahi?” Travott insisted, holding her by the elbow.
She felt alarmed at how he held her tightly that her heart pounded hard
