Meanwhile, in Faerie
Leda had witnessed the horrors of racially charged violence. But her best friends, Wiseguy and Sai had experienced it. As halfies, they had been targeted by both elves and humans.
So when America...did what it did, she knew that what she was feeling was only a fraction of their distress. Not for themselves of course. Faerie was safely out of harm's way. But elves had been among those named in the vitriol of the new President's campaign, and there were enough still in the US to warrant concern.
Leander had convinced her not to fly off the handle, and issued a reserved, dignified press release inviting all ex-pats to return.
Then he and hiw wife sent a message to Ron;
"HOME. NOW."
