     Alexander's breath caught. The Flowerew Headquarters?! He dragged his fingers against the paper's smooth silky surface. He presses hand to the middle of the paper. He had only recently joined the Retfihsepahs, barely getting to know it's language and customs, why? Why would they send him on a mission now?

      "kca, diputs sretrauqdaeh" He mutters aloud. 

      "You know if any of the Council heard that you'd be send to the Latrom world?" a soft voice said behind him.

      Alexander turns around, peering at the girl standing, half leaning against the door frame. She smiles slightly, her turquise eyes glittering mischievously. She was dressed in normal clothes, a t-shirt and jeans, a thin turquoise jacket hung loosely around her shoulders. She was his sister, although.. not by blood, but mby similarities in personality and features.

     "Hello May," Alexander muses, a smile teasing at the corners of his mouth. "And yes, I know"

     May laughs softly. "So what happened? Why are you calling the headquarters 'stupid'?" 

     Alexander sighs. "Look"

     He says quietly, plucking the paper off the table, and holding it out to May. She takes the paper eagerly and looks at it. 

     "They're always so vague" She mumbles. "And.. Woah... seriously? I heard that the Flowerew are complete slobs" 

      He laughs a little, but then his face becomes serious. 

     "Seriously, I could get killed" He narrows his eyes. 

     "Oh, c'mon your a shapeshifter for God's sake!" 

     Alexander was quiet, no one called the Retfihsepahs shapeshifters, ever. Shapeshifter was a morta- A Latrom word. His eyes darken. 

      "You could be banished for saying that" He says quietly.

     "Yeah... but the rules.. they-" She didn't finish her sentence, someone was approaching the door.

      A Counsil member pushed through and looked towards Alexander. 

     "Time to leave" He says, a tinge of English accent in his voice. 

     Alexander looks at May one last time and nods in the Counsil member's direction. 

      "I'm ready" He says quietly, hiding the emotion in his voice.
