On Marco's other side sat Farah Deloros. The Council member of the South District had claimed the seat closest to Hare with a quickness that was unusual for her. She wasn't being quick now, however. “Half of the fields were razed and then replanted in an effort to curb the pests,” she droned, staring at her plate as she did as though she were reading from it. She had to have been in her seventies now, though Hare could not remember a time when the small woman's face had not been heavily lined. She had been kind to Hare when he was a little boy, giving him candy and ensuring that his parents saw her doting on him. It had ended as soon as his 'acting a fool' began, as his Father called it. His acting a fool had never subsided, so she still didn't like him. They said that her wits were slowing, but she still adeptly oversaw her District, and she reported on every detail. Slowly. “It should all grow back by next quarter. The farmers in charge are, of course, distressed . . .”
