As the TCs arrive ahead of Baku and Hound, they all line up and Thomas introduces them one by one. He shows them off proudly, with no less love than his birth children.

The prince shows little except polite acknowledgement, and the princess only stares somewhat wide-eyed, but the king and queen politely greet them each, showing them the same deference as the other children.

"You have indeed opened your home, sweet son," Illyagrine says with quiet humor, "Had we known, we would have planned better for All-Saint's Day. Now, our list of gifts to buy grows twice as large." She smiles at them, particularly Blo.

As Baku approaches, Thomas steps aside and gestures. "This is Baku and his family, Father. It was their ex-member that took over the protection of Zahmeria when Marcus left to retire."

"Indeed? If they are as hale as this one appears, then Zahmeria will fare as it always has." The king and queen give short, reserved bows to Baku.

Honditar tilts his head back and looks at Kittycut, as if he's considering something. "You..." he says slowly, "Your...life...is different. There's something different about you.  As if you're an illusion."

Thomas starts to say something, but thinks the better of it.

Asja flinches as the liquid splashes on her. She gives a short shriek, freezing as it absorbs into her.

"What...what...what was that??" She asks, her voice alarmed. She begins shaking. "M-my dress! Is my d-dress..."

Regina, stops and looks at herself and Asja. "No, no, it looks fine," she says hurriedly. "Are you all right?"

"I...I think so..." Still shaking, she begins to look angry. "I...I need to know what this is! It could  be anything!"

Regina, knowing that the visitor is long since gone, hesitates. "Wait here! I'll get Thomas!"

"Hurry!"

Asja's face twitches with her growing anger. Herbeyes begin flickering slightly, her irises changing color from light to dark purple. As Regina dashes off, she takes a deep breath.

"GUAAAAARDS!!"
