They looked at each other blankly. "An iPad?" Adriel asked.
"Yes, an iPad, you know take notes, organize things, take pictures, video recordings, lists, calendar reminders, basically all the geeky stuff that you love. An iPad will make it much easier for you to keep track of everything."
"But I like to hand write my notes," Adriel conf
essed.
"You are able to write notes on the new iPad."
Adriel's eyes grew large. Meryn smiled. "I'll order y'all the new iPads and get them set up for you."
Magnus and Adriel looked at each other excitedly. Kari sighed. She'd used an iPad before, but there was just something about writing on paper. It seemed that she remembered it longer if she did.
Magnus tapped his pen on the table. "How were the interviews?" he asked.
Declan leaned back. "Most of them are true matings. They are meek, but willing. Those that are in the arranged matings aren't being forced. They understand that they could have mates out there, but they're not willing to rock the boat with their families. I'd like to make a suggestion though; have the warriors escort them to Level Six just to make sure we don't have any hidden mates anywhere. We don't want to repeat of what happened with DuBois."
"That is for sure," Kari muttered.
"It is a good idea." Magus jotted down a note.
Kari looked at Bethy and Adriel. "How was the field trip?"
"Wonderful," Beth replied. "A lot of children were worried about you of course, but it was nice seeing them laugh and play despite your fall." Kari winced.
"Sorry!" Bethy apologized quickly. "Not that I'm one to talk, I trip over nothing," Bethy said smiling.
"What happened?" Adriel asked Kari.
Kari shrugged. "I have no idea, one second I was fine, the next I was dizzy, and then I woke up in the infirmary."
Declan turned to Magnus. "Did the parents say anything? Have they noticed a change in children?"
Magnus nodded. "More than one parent came up later and said that their child seem to be improved. That they were smiling more, though they all seem tired at the end of the day, but I am sure that is because they have had more exercise in those few hours than they have had in the past week."
Magnus turned to Adriel. "How are you and Bethy coming along organizing the fair?
Bethy flip the pages back in her notebook. "I have contacted all of the paranormal vendors we'll need. They'll be here tomorrow to start setting up stalls and games."
Adriel nodded. "I have been working with the food vendors on Level Six; they are more than prepared to make extra. I think they are excited to be earning a little bit more money. All of them however want Declan's opinion of what they should offer." Adriel shot his second in command a wry expression.
Declan chuckled. "They love me as a taste tester," he admitted.
Kari looked at Adriel and winced. "I am so sorry. I did say I would help you with this."
Adriel gave her a look. "You have been pretty busy lately, Kari. Not only are you adapting to a new job, but you have also found your mate. Moving alone must be stressful."
Kari snapped her fingers. "Speaking of moving. Does anyone know a freight company that works between cities and is aware of paranormals?"
Bethy nodded and turned in her chair to face Sebastian.
Sebastian stepped forward. "I can contact the company that we used to send Bethy's things to Lycaonia. They are very reliable. If you have a contact in the city to let them in your home, they will be more than willing to pack your things for you and bring them here.
Kari nodded. "I would appreciate the name; I will call them myself later."
Magnus was looking at his list and turned to Rex. "I was busy with the children earlier. Were you and the other council members able to hammer out the details for the trial?"
Rex nodded "The trial is set for tomorrow at ten am. We're really not expecting a very long deliberation."
