What he believed might be good enough to hold up in a Brotherhood court, but he doubted it. Ulf and Lyssa might be the founders of the Lani race, but they had come to Kardon nearly four thousand years ago and no records existed to prove that the Lani weren't here before they came. Redes passed by word of mouth through hundreds of generations were not evidence.
"They have a live hawkbill turtle in their room quite a large one, for I could scarcely move it and have painted its back in five or six colours. And they feed it on live fish; the room smells horribly." Flemming laughed. "I thought I could smell fresh paint about the house yesterday. Never mind, 'Lani. It won't hurt the turtle."
Even though your description might be accurate, you still might miss something of critical importance." Douglas sighed. "I thought that's what you'd say," he said. "Oh very well you might as well see what we have out here." "You can't possibly believe that I don't already know," Kennon said. "You have male Lani." Douglas looked at him, his face blank with surprise. "But how did you know?
What job wouldn't be with a bunch of goofballs like these I've got working on it. "I can't keep a Lani here for two weeks without having her throw a catfit, and the superstitious idiots are affecting the men who ought to know better! I wish I'd never have opened my big mouth to Alexander! As far as I'm concerned he can take this job and " "Hey take it easy, man!" Blalok said.
"Did you think that the Lani were our principal export?" Kennon nodded. "They're only a drop in the bucket. Agriculture Earth-style agriculture is our main source of income. The Lani are valuable principally to keep down the cost of overhead. Virtually all of them work right here on the island. We don't sell more than a hundred a year less than five per cent of our total.
She had tried it once but the hot bitterness scalded her mouth and flooded her body with its heat. And she had felt so lightheaded. Not like herself at all. It wasn't a drink for Lani. Of that she was certain. Yet he enjoyed it. He looked at her and smiled. He was pleased with her. Perhaps yet she might find favor in his eyes.
But that doesn't mean that we have to stay where we are. Mystics aren't owned by their entrepreneurs. Sure, it's a tough haul to beat the boss, but it can be done. I did it, and others do it all the time. The situation isn't hopeless." "But it is with the Lani," Kennon added. "Of course. That's why they should be protected. What chance does a Lani have?
The minute stretched to nearly ten before Kennon returned followed by two Lani carrying bags which they loaded into the back of the jeep. "I had to reorganize a little," Kennon apologized, "some things were unfamiliar." "Plan on taking them?" Blalok said, jerking a thumb at the two Lani. "Not this time. I'm having them fit up an ambulance. They should be busy most of the day."
"Maybe it'd be better if I told it. It goes back over four centuries. Grandfather was a clever man. After he had secured this island he became worried about the surviving Lani. He didn't want to be accused of genocide, since the Lani were so human in appearance. So he had his medical officer make a few autopsies. The M.D. reported that while there was similarity, the Lani were probably not human.
He dropped Douglas as Kennon pushed the door back and came out into the passageway. "Maybe you make better fight," George said as he lowered his head into the muscular mass of his broad shoulders. Kennon eyed him appraisingly, swinging the irons in his right hand. This time the Lani didn't charge. He moved slowly, half crouched, long arms held slightly forward.
