Rhiow was actually looking forward to working with Celena. Despite her membership in the magical department, nobody had yet called on her expertise. But Gating was what she knew, backward and forward - maybe not as intensely as Saash had known it, but Rhiow had spent her life dedicated to building that expertise. If the ship had need of it, she was happy to give it.

Maintaining a gating complex again would do her good. If they could get something set up, she would dearly love to have it in Grand Central Station. Maybe she could convince Celena of that much.

Rhiow realized her thoughts were getting away with her when she walked right over Celena. After long habit, she was using the air-walking spell to get around. It had worked in Manhattan - the only difference was here she didn't need to sidle. Please use this shape now, she told the air, holding a picture of stairs in her mind. She walked down the air and jumped lightly to the ground in front of Celena. "Hunt's luck - how's it coming?"
