The grand ball
#94
Jay's travel limitations made more sense after Nikolai explained it. Evelyn smiled reassuringly when they looked to her, but honestly she had not thought about the restriction as a matter of military origin. She knew the complexities of CCD government affairs inside and out, studying them since she was in school. Travel between the Dominances functioned much like travel between states in America. There was little oversight unless someone was moving permanently, taking a new job, or attending a new school. However, foreign delegates of other nations had quite a few restrictions upon entering the US themselves. For instance, foreign delegates and heads of state that travelled with security were limited to how many armed personnel could accompany them, the manner and types of those arms, and where they went. Little miniatures armies couldn't be allowed to roam freely across the countryside. The same went in the CCD.

So she continued to give Nikolai the benefit of the doubt. The more he explained, the more foolish she felt for doubting him in the first place. Then, when the time came, he agreed to the request as Evelyn knew he would. Now, if she hadn't been there to guide his hand, to remind him that soldiers were human beings, he may have forgotten being so focused on the lofty goals of the Custody. But luckily enough, she was there, and when he met her eyes, she could feel the winds catch his sails and steer him the right direction.

She smiled warmly when asked to return to the ball in his company. Perhaps she could even speak with Mister James himself on their behalf. She would like to meet the preacher of fame. He had remarkable trials behind him, and like all, had stumbled with them. But nobody was perfect. Furthermore, his wife was governor of Texas.

Yes, she would definitely need to talk to him before he left (as she was certain he would).

"Good luck to you, Jay. You too, Natalie. Don't hesitate to reach out to me if there's anything else I can do for you."
She smiled sweetly, closed her arm around her escort, and was led from the room.

One of Nik's guards fell into step behind them. It was the same man she recognized from their night together, but Evelyn was careful not to blush. In fact, she avoided looking him in the eye just in case.

"That was good of you, Nik-- Ascendancy."
Her heart wanted to flutter from her chest. "Healers should be shared with all of humanity, not kept aside only for the whims of the rich and powerful. In fact, it's the least of us that need the healers most of all. We should probably include some verbage about skills in our treaty."
