Alex nodded in understanding. “I worked with a man once… right bastard when it came to getting people to do what he wanted, but a great Intel officer from all I have heard… anyway, he arranged for new lives for some of the folks we pulled from the camps after the war. Saw some of them… not pretty.”

Faye nodded slowly. “Yeah, he didn’t talk much about it, but even the tiny bits he shared you just… knew.” She grabbed the cutting board with the balls of dough and brought them over to the side of the stove. “But yeah, he taught me this recipe on my birthday because he wanted to share something special, and on Tracken, knowledge was our commodity. And while we cooked he sang some of his favourite folk songs from his childhood. He never said it, but I think he was recreating a moment he had had with his grandmother. Conjecture, of course, but one I can feel confident about.”

Hovering a hand over the skillet she checked it was hot enough and then, with a brush, coated it with a thin layer of oil. “Okay, there’s a couple ways I can do this, but do you have something round and heavy but also flat?”

Alex looked puzzled for a moment and then said “How big do you need?”

Cochrane

“Just smaller than the skillet,” Faye replied, as she peered over at the vegetables and inhaled that gorgeous pungent smell. “Good thing I’m hungry. We’ve enough to make more than one each,” she said with a grin.

Alex nodded and walked over to the desk and picked something up and walked back over. He tan the object u der water and dried it and handed it to her. It was a slightly larger than a fist flat, round disk of a clear material; inside of which was displayed… the Karagite Order of Heroism.
