Jasmine nodded, and then he turned and left the room.
She followed him right behind.
No one mentioned their brief disappearance.
Jasmine wanted to leave the room, but Loren stopped her.
"I'll need your help." He stated. "Stay back."
Jasmine did as she was told, hoping it wouldn't delay till dark.
The spy her father had sent had instructed her that he wanted to see me at the ruins.
She knew better than to make him wait, or worse, if she did not show up.
"Hand me that clear glass plate." Loren said.
She brought the glass from the other table, and then he extracted some fiber from her skin.
The woman was now lying naked, her body exposed to everyone's view as they examined and worked over her.
Loren dropped the fiber on the plate.
"This is Wurnga." He said. "It's only home to this side is the western part."
"Western side?" Damian said. "That means places like the fire pack, Hunter's, and midnight pack."
