"Fair enough. Then let's not keep the Association waiting." He glanced toward the gate, cracking his knuckles. "I'll have this cleared quickly. I'm curious who I've been competing against all this time."
Quinn nodded, pleased. "I'll be right here. Good hunting. Try not to make the rest of the candidates look too bad with your time."
Moon grinned and turned toward the swirling gate, a new thread of intrigue pulling at him. An Association gathering, all the candidates assembled, an important announcement.
After the recent monotony of gate after gate, this was exactly the development he'd been wanting.
A change in routine was always needed, and he planned to see a glimpse of the larger competition he was part of, and whatever the Association had planned.
He stepped toward the gate, eager to clear it quickly and find out what awaited him at the gathering.
