“And how do I experience Anterity, exactly?”
“By meditating at the site, of course.” Tayven laughed. “Don’t you know anything?”
“I’m not really impressed by that kind of thing,” Khaster said stiffly. “Bayard is interested in ritual and mysticism, isn’t he?”
“He might think he is,” Tayven said. “You’d find that the reality is quite different.”
“I’m a tourist, not a mystic,” Khaster said. “And I like to think I can appreciate the lakes just as well, if not better, from that perspective. "
