Byron’s muscles tightened further. “Yes, sir.”
The prospect of escorting Athee throughout the ship didn’t excite him. It wasn’t that Byron disliked the Tgren woman. He simply didn’t want Athee in his head again. Byron followed Korden’s orders without protest, though. Athee bubbled with excitement as Byron guided her along the passageways. She asked many questions and awaited a satisfactory answer before posing her next query.
At first, Byron played the reluctant host. However, as they proceeded on the tour, he began to enjoy the opportunity to display his familiarity with the Rennather’s functions.
