The Territories of Halla: After Pendragon

Shaki didn't reply.


Where?

Alder stood there silent, as if anticipated an answer.

It's during the scene at the Forgotten Glacier. Nimica Tari says it to Habachachi in chapter fifteen when he tries to argue with her that he's more righteous than Konanca and should get the Sixth Text.

Shaki curled closer to Kara and closed his eyes, feeling suddenly very tired.

"Aren't you going to say something?"

"No...."

"You came to my door for a reason."

"Because it looked like Kara was trying to bring me there."

"I see she finally came to her senses. The only problem is that you're not supposed to be here; it's too dangerous for someone like you. I'm going to have to send you to Bobby." He paused. "I'm going to have a stern conversation with her when she regains consciousness."

What happened to Kara?

Shaki hissed violently. "Leave my sister alone!"


She was attacked.

"I'm not doing anything to her! She broke a cardinal rule of Traveling!"

I thought so.

Shaki kept snarling.

"Don't snarl at me!"

Shaki's snarl turned into a cough that shook the young Klee's body and sent blood flying from his mouth.

"You clearly need help. Tell me what's going on."

Shaki coughed again. "I... don't know."

"Then tell me what you know."

Kara suddenly coughed and raised her head, looking around blearily. "Wha...?"

"Impeccable timing," Alder muttered.

Kara sat up, rubbing her head.

...

"What... happened?"

"I don't know. All I know is Shaki had enough sense to find me. He's not supposed to be here, though. I'm sending him to Bobby for him to deal with as soon as I get the story straight from you. And before you protest: no he's not staying. I mean it."

Kara snarled, leaping upright. "I don't think so!"

What about it?

Alder, normally calm, was getting mad. "Yes, he is! Since he doesn't belong here, he will be safe there... after all, you claim that he's not safe on Eelong!"

"No! He's not! And there's no way you're separating me from my family!"

Never mind.
