19: Reunion

Saint-14 watches vessels dip in and out of the hangar. The cadence of docking and disembarking ships finds rhythm in the busy city. It is routine. Practiced. Peaceful. A visitor steps aboard the Gray Pigeon. Geppetto turns to welcome them. "Greetings, Brother Osiris. You are a welcome sight. Is Sagira with you?" "Hello Geppetto. Sagira visits Ikora." Osiris sits on the gangway of the Gray Pigeon. He runs a ribbon through his fingers. "Hello Saint." "Osiris? I wondered if this meeting would be with one of your projections." "I would not…" --- "Quite the shrine they've made for you. Are you dying?" Saint-14 laughs. "It is good to see you again, Brother."
