--- Back to Kat's perspective
"… and that's really the whole story. Kamiko looked lovely in her dress and Aslena got third. Apparently there was one judge that had it out for her for some reason. Rather sad, and I never did find out who. I'd give that judge a piece of my mind if I did" said Trigrath
Kamiko gave a shake of her head before jerking it towards the stairs. Her eyes seemed to tell Kat that this wasn't quite the full story, and she'd share it later. Kat was rather happy she could get so much information from just that look.
Kamiko was right of course. Karanth didn't let Aslena off, and certainly wasn't going to give her any points for torturing her sister. She even left with the group, keeping her illusion up to sneak into the family's home. It wasn't hard, as a friend of Nira she didn't set off the intruder alarms just by entering.
