"It's nice to meet you. I was called here for not having any confidential information in my head."

"Yes, sir."

Deskyl signs.

"Deskyl says that she's not going to read the other gentleman's mind again, but that I should tell you anyway that her range now, for him, is about a third of the width the building."

"—that's good to know. What's her general range?"

"It depends on how familiar she is with the person. For a stranger, it would be easiest if she was in the same room, but she could do it from one or two rooms away, if the rooms were about this size."

"Physical barriers are not an obstacle?"

"No, sir."

He nods. "They're thinking of relocating the two of you because of the risk of eavesdropping."

    "That's fine, sir. She'll need to sleep soon, though."

"We could find you two a hotel, and leave you to rest for as long as you need."

Deskyl nods at that, and signs some more.

    "She's recovering from an attack by another Sith, and she's going to need a lot of sleep for the next while; at least a few weeks, probably a few months. It would be better for her if she could be in the same place for all of that time, if it's possible to arrange."

He nods. "It is. Can she go now?"

    "Yes, sir. One moment." She reshelves the book.

When they're done, he leads them back to the elevator and down to the garage.

They follow readily enough, signing back and forth a little as they go.

Into a car, and then they start driving through Brockton Bay, along the street that runs parallel to the beach and the Boardwalk.

Deskyl dozes.

"Did you have any more questions, sir?"

"We'll wait until Deskyl is well-rested for them."

"All right."

Eventually they reach a small beachside hotel.

Deskyl and DZ follow him in.

Things have apparently already been arranged, because he goes straight for the elevator. People give Deskyl and DZ curious glances—sometimes outright stares—but no one approaches them.

Deskyl makes faces at a couple of the starers, but doesn't start anything.

Up the elevator then down the hallway to a very nice hotel room, decorated in soft beach colors, containing a queen bed, a kitchenette, and a spacious bathroom.

Excellent.

She signs briefly to DZ and then goes directly to bed.

"Thank you, sir."
