Second Meeting

Characters ©  from my novel, 'Legion'.

Used different refs for Castellan and Gellak, changed their features, and changed the room decor and contents on the table.

I don't like the title. Suggestions?

I need a scanner.  Either the table gets skewered or the window wall does. Taking photos of straight lines is a pain.

Not sure about the colour scheme, but Gellak is a peasant.

'Maajon' or 'free folk' is what the Quilhiril Collective calls ordinary citizens like him, but he's a low status male from a low-status mind-community with no particular talents or skills.  Once a spaceport immigration officer who kept getting into trouble for delaying flights, now a foot soldier conscripted to fight for a jihad he doesn't believe in. He's a wannabe priest who failed the entrance exams four times, a general disgrace with 'sorcerer' stamped on his tail. A seer who nobody listens to, except the slave Castellan.

He had prevented Castellan from escaping years before, but in so doing, may have saved his planet.

Now Castellan is a slave no longer, and he wants Gellak at his side, but Gellak just wants to sleep right now.

I decided to dress Castellan in a 1930's style suit, which were more feminine, but Quilhiril don't wear ties or buttons. Castellan had a fine time with them when he was a refugee on Earth.   He'd picked up smoking there, though.
