In a tiny mental voice the young illithid said, <> “You’re very lucky,” said Dame Brionna.  “We could have responded with violence.” The adult illithid--possibly the young one’s parent--replied, “We are most grateful for your forbearance.  Please, accept the apologies of the Didactic.  I thought we had trained him better than that.” Kit smiled, still a little angry but also amused.  “We accept your apology.  But please, don’t do that again.” <> the young illithid promised.  <<But the mushrooms were very tasty.>> After the illithid departed, they went over a couple of other reports.  Most of the ambassadors and dignitaries who were not permanently stationed in Canberry were preparing to depart over the next few days.  The one major exception was Lord Silverleaves, who had had such an exciting time that he was looking to buy a townhouse.  He had informed the chamberlain that he was planning on staying for a short period to learn more about humans.  Based on their prior experiences with his sense of time, the Council concluded that a “short period” was likely to be decades long.</blockquote>
