[For Rhedara Shannon and @torsten ]

This whole situation with Mosse and Shannon had been a very unfortunate event, especially for them. It had been just before the end of the year, so they weren't able to start the new year with a clean slate. No, they were to answer to Aldrich's every command, like Regan had told them. And Aldrich wasn't about to go easy on them. The gala was in a couple of days and the man had contemplated forbidding them to go, but he supposed they'd just naturally understand they weren't allowed to have the night off.

Abbott walked into the messhall and looked around. It didn't take long before he was able to spot them in the crowd. The man walked through the aisles between the tables and tapped @torsten on the shoulder. "Clean up your tray, now, and follow me." If he was still eating, that was just too bad. Aldrich wouldn't allow him to finish the meal. Then he continued down the aisle and tapped Rhedara Shannon on the back, repeating what he had told the young man. 

Aldrich returned to the door of the messhall and gestured for them to follow him. They'd be going to a small office to talk.
