She
looked at the room and stared at Rebekah directly. "Will you back the
Council if it comes to it? In war, or ruling, even if you don't like it?"
There was a slow bow toward the
woman.
"I will, within reason. I'm
not planning to leave my music career at this time, but do stand with the
current Council. I can't speak as to how I'll feel in the future."
Scotty murmured something
similar. There was a sense of a real conversation going on that Ty was barely
aware of, but after a few moments Ginger smiled.
"Cool. Thanks E. I think you
can stay here. I need to have a chat with Evan. I'm sure he'll be thrilled and
excited to hear about what he'll be doing. It will probably mean he ends up
moving." There was a shrug then, but she said goodbye and turned to the
room as soon as her phone was back in her bag.
"There! She needs to get the
time off, but Edom is willing to help out, even if it means working almost
twenty-four hours a day for two weeks, himself. You should send him a blood
basket." There was a happiness to her though, as if the whole thing wasn't
just good, but a big deal.
In fact, it seemed almost like
she was happy to have gotten it set up on a level that was a bit
self-important. Finally, Ty just looked at her and wrinkled his nose.
"What?" It wasn't very
exacting, but she got it and looked a little sheepish.
"Technically no one can set
this kind of thing up without the Council signing off on it. I mean, Eve is allowed
to teach anyone she wants, but there are still rules, you know? So for me to
set this up and not be called on it means that everyone just accepted that I'm
important."
Rebekah nodded, and then looked
away, speaking softly.
"I don't suppose that you
could get that cleared with the higher ups though? I'd really hate to look up
one day to see Bey's fist vaporizing my head."
"Aahhh..."
Tyler tilted his head as the
others went silent.
"Why not call and ask about
it? I mean, people trying to set things up like this that are willing to do it
openly like that at least probably aren't going to be a big threat to anyone in
power, right? Even if you run for office, or however they do it, later."
No one seemed to think that was a
good idea, but Ginger, a bit slowly for a girl that could move so fast you
couldn't see her, went to her phone and made the call. For some reason that
Scotty didn't get in particular she tried to get in touch with Bey. She got someone named Gene.
"Hello? Sir? This is Ginger
Harris, you don't know me... Oh? I didn't know that. Well, it isn't a big
thing, but I have some people, Vampires, that want to try the daylight
training, and... Um, Rebekah and Scotty? Also Evan, he's a local guy. No, he
works for us directly. I mean the Council. Yep! I asked and everything. They
both agreed. Okay..." She stopped, and didn't do anything for a while,
just looking wide eyed and like her world was about to end, but then she
smiled. " Really ? Thanks. I'll let everyone know that. Bye,
sir."
Rebekah and Scotty both beamed,
looking happy, so Ty was able to work out that no one was being put to death or
anything. Other than that he didn't have a clue as to what was going on.
Ginger included him, after a bit.
"He got several of the
others to sign off on it. In fact they're going to let five of us do the
training. I get to pick. These two, Evan and two others. They'll probably be
sent off after they learn to do it, but it's still really huge. I need to go
and... I should probably visit. I..." She looked at him, and then took a
forced seeming breath. "No, I'll do it later. In a few days. Or on the
phone. Tyler needs me."
That got him to smile.
"To make me soup? I'll be
fine. These two will help out with food, so that my leg will grow faster, right
guys?" He didn't know if either of them could cook or anything, but both
of them still nodded, so he'd at least get crusts of bread or whatever was
under the kitchen counter. As long as it wasn't flesh, he'd be fine.
Rebekah smiled then,
