Just as he’d hoped, Lenne came out of the woodwork and right up to him. That was really easy! And it had worked just the way he wanted it to.
Axel accepted Lenne’s gesture and took her hand in a firm grip, giving it a quick shake. “Lenne,” he repeated. “It’s great to see the face behind the journal in person. The little images the network uses do you no justice.” He grinned. “My name’s Axel. Remember that.”
He let go of her hand and stepped back, looking her up and down as if appraising her. He put a hand to his chin. “And it looks like you’ve dressed to impress! That’s a pretty show-stopping outfit you have on, isn’t it?” Axel liked it. It was much more interesting than a black robe, that was for sure. “I’m glad you went for the extra effort. All right.” He nodded in approval. She would do just fine. And he’d find out if she had any hidden water powers before aggravating her.
“Here’s the lay of the land now. We can go find a quiet place. There you can either show me one of those wonderful videospheres you mentioned, or you can give me a sample of what you’re going to sing for the top brass at the Ceu de Mouraria. The Ceu itself is pretty far from here, though, if you want to see how well your voice carries there. It’s up to you, madam. I’ll let you decide.”
