Hedra says.  "Let's have a slice.""Not yet," Castofle says. "I'm waiting for Jaronel to get here with the xocatli.  It's the last ingredient.""That stuff?  On a pie?""Krassus says it's good.  Where is he anyhow?  He was supposed to be here."The conversation fades out, as Kaeysari lies there, the outcome of the battle no longer hers to influence.</blockquote>
