There was no name to indicate who the message was from but Caius knew. He had never seen the writing before, but he knew. And it pulled a smile on his lips as he folded the parchment back into the shape of a bird as Delia looked over.
"Hmm," she said, and when Caius looked over at her, she had a strange look in her eyes. It was an interesting look of knowing and unknowing at the same time.
She had felt something in the wind pattern. Something familiar. But she had no clue what the bird-shaped note was. Still, she believed they were connected. Her brain just wasn't putting the two pieces together as it should.
"I have to go," Caius said then.
"What?" Kaya said as she, Eloise, and Aylin rounded on him.
"Where?" Eloise asked.
"What was that note?" Delia asked.
Caius felt a little amused. This was likely the most they had ever contested any of his departures.
"A long overdue meeting, I believe" he said to answer the questions and then added, "I'll be back."
