Tirush swings around and steps off of the stone balustrade, taking care not to sweep Kioshi off with her tail. They pass through the sidee passage and come to the room where the Ibrahim children are.

Ferra and Partha have found a ball and are making a game of bouncing it back and forth using only their heads. Aurum is engaged in a very large book, reading with wide eyes while absentmindedly eating berries from a bowl. Lucida is playing a game of chess by herself, her brow furrowed with intensity, and Gemmi and Aurora are lounging in a nearby fountain.

"Girls, listen to me," Tirush announces, striding in. They stop what they're doing and look up. The ball, mid-flight, lands on Ferra's horn and deflates. She doesn't seem to notice.

"I want all of you to speak your minds," Tirush says, matter-of-factly. "I will ask you a question, and I will be plain about it, so I expect no less from you. You believe in the giving of the most precious gift, and that is love.  Correct?  How many of you would have the love of family to give for one who is without?"

Blank stares meet them. Slowly the girls begin to look at one another, confused.

"Mama T, what's this all about?" Lucida raises a brow. She looks to Kioshi.
