Kaitlyn rose from her seat, tired of sitting and listening to Yeerk statistics for thirty minutes. Illrid was extremely frustrated with Iniss right now. If it hadn't been for the crowd of new comers in the main room, the crowd of witnesses, she would have been tempted to strangle him.
In the main room, everyone was still talking. Their chatter could be heard from all the way in the meeting room.
<Humans are so loud,> Illrid complained, more to herself than to her host. Kaitlyn agreed, but she could not say so.
A cluster of humans walked by. At first, Kaitlyn didn't notice them. But as the last one trailed behind the group, she gasped in sudden recognition. Corliss, Tia, and the two humans were headed off somewhere. This was the perfect opportunity to spy on Corliss, to find out what he was really up to. She didn't have to expose herself and reveal her presence to them, if this all turned out to be exactly what he had said.
She followed silently behind them, casually slipping through the crowd to blend in so they would not see.
