The Willows were whispering again; that meant visitors. Esti had been alone since Dusk had left. The girl had lengthened, and come to about her full height in his absence. When she heard the noise, she came carefully to the scene, noting that the company was, in fact, Dusk and his guest- guests. There were two?

The princess flicked her ear, making eye contact with each of the members without much infliction either good or bad, "Once we do names, we can do more important stuff." "Speech"
