"You're right, I suppose. I should do what I do best and not worry about the politics," Desiree apologized. "I'll do what I can to make Harry comfortable here."

For all of Desiree's tough bluff, she was sensitive. She was disappointed that Barry deliberately dismissed her, not really caring to hear what she had to say. Relinquishing control to leaders in the group was a feeling she had never gotten used to, but it was a fact in the new society—even Outside. Leadership needed a superior status and some layering to be effective; leaders needed subordinates and a chain of command. While she thought that arbitrarily determining levels of society and limiting exposures to some was as militant and as prejudicial as Makr's Cyber hierarchy, she accepted this reality in her _New World_.

Without another word, she turned to leave, intent on seeking peaceful refuge away from the council. She told herself to let the negative feelings subside. _Ignore the negative and relish the positive. You shouldn't feel this way. Get a hold of yourself._ Here, the room couldn't help lighten her mood, and she needed air.

Elder Barry sat up abruptly in his chair finding renewed energy—a weight lifted.

He looked around the room for approval. There were the knowing nods giving full support, shrugs indicating momentary indecision or lack of responsibility, a puckered mouth or two whistle apprehensions, a few furrowed brows shelve the idea for later, and, as always, those faces with invisible blinders excusing themselves from the decision, abstaining.
