limp. “Is there every going to be a reason for me to throw that many blades?”
    “I sincerely hope not, but you need to have the skill set. You are part of a new hope for the Lrrko, and that means that you will become us as time passes. That title carries a weight of skills and a mindset that you need to understand. Every child in school can make the throws that you did today. You are starting late.”
    Ty straightened, and Brex stepped back. She turned and looked up at him. “Not my fault.”
    “Didn’t say it was. I am glad you are embracing the training.”
    She wrinkled her nose. “Even if it hurts.”
    “I will give you a rubdown after your bath. Are you ready for your run?”
    She groaned. “No, but I will do it anyway. I need to keep my cardio up.”
    “Come on then. Once around the building and then back to your quarters.”
    She made a face. “When can I see the city?”
    “When you can see danger before it strikes.”
    She kept her face twisted. “That seems unlikely.”
    “I don’t know; your instincts are better, reflexes faster. We will soon run a trial, and you will be tested.”
    “Wonderful. I can hardly wait.” She stretched. “A run now?”
    “A run. Ten extra minutes of massage for every kilometre you can run.” He gave her a slow smile.
    She took off at a steady pace, loping around the running track until her body glowed with sweat and her mind was clear. Thoughts of her sister flickered up, but she was constantly being reassured that her sister was alive and well, though not really chatty at the moment.
    Ty let her feet thud into the ground as she ran; each impact jarred her body until she was swaying with every step. She had probably been running for an hour when Brex called a halt to her exercise.
    “Enough for today. Tub and then massage. Let’s go.”
    She stumbled after Brex to her quarters. She took a shower to rid her of sweat and then soaked her muscles in the bath. When she was done, she wrapped herself in a towel and headed into the main room of her quarters. Her bed was in the centre, but Brex preferred to use his bed for the massages. His bed protruded from the wall and folded up in the morning. It did make an excellent massage table.
    Brex was ready for her when she came out. He helped her onto his bunk, and she lay down on her stomach, loosening the towel so he could move it as he needed to.
    He put oil on his hands and rubbed them together. “I hate to say that this is the most fun part of my assignment.”
    She chuckled as his hands slid over her. “I had a funny feeling.”
    He was thorough with every touch. He found each bound muscle, and his hands slid along her until she was limp and relaxed, dozing under his touch.
    When he flipped her, his hands were just as devoted to relaxing her, but as he took out the knots in her pectorals, her body started to tense in the strangest places.
    He worked the muscles down the sides of her ribs to her belly. When he shifted to the front of her thighs, she exhaled in relief.
    He rubbed her calves, tweaked her toes and moved to stand behind her head. Her shoulders and neck got a thorough rubdown before he wrapped her up in a towel and tucked her into her bed.
    “Brex, would you join me for a nap?” She felt warm, relaxed and on the border of propositioning him.
    He paused. “I would love to, but I have to file your progress report.”
    Ty yawned. “When can I learn to use one of those flying suits?”
    “When the elders give their permission. I would not hold your breath.”
    He dimmed the lights and went to the terminal. “Go to sleep. You need your rest.”
    “It is the middle of the day.”
    “Then, you need a nap. Get some sleep. If your readings are strong enough tonight, we might be able to go out into the night market.”
    Ty glared at him. “You tell me that after you tell me that my napping is essential? Jerk.”
    Brex chuckled. “Yes, I am.”
    She yawned and nestled down in her cocoon. She would show
