Notes: Constructive criticism welcome, as always. Last Hills of Iowa!
It was a coincidence, really.
While Imi had been placed with a foster parent within the Family, she still looked forward to every time Rubika came by with messages and so on. So, when Rubika had offered to take her on a quick trip--just three moons over, for a concert that Rubika promised was appropriate enough for a little girl--her new parents had agreed.
Dimana being on-planet for one of her usual adventures was really luck of the draw. She didn’t keep a regular schedule or route the way Rubika did, although she generally made and kept plans for their next official meeting and exchange.
The fact that all of this was happening in the same city where Shane lived was not that unusual. She had chosen to retire in a city that was a known crossroads for a reason. She liked to watch the people coming and going, beyond the Messenger who had her route.
But then Rubika decided to stay in a hotel, rather than on her ship, as an additional treat for Imi.
And it just so happened to be the same hotel that Dimana had chosen.
And Shane, while not staying there, liked the hotel restaurant and had elected to go out that night.
Coincidence or not, the four of them walked into the same hotel lobby, in the same city, on the same moon, at the same time.
Rubika met Shane’s eyes, then Dimana’s, through the small crowd in the lobby, and Shane and Dimana moved to meet her and Imi by the elevators.
The doors slid open; almost as one, the four of them stepped through.
And when they were all, at long last, alone together, everything fell into place.

Yuuuuuup, more or less XD The Horsemen finally being in the same place at the same time is. Definitely a very major point on the road to the Apocalypse...
