The marriage of secrecy and grand opulence, the almost desperate desire to impress, to be a king. He had mentioned something about them being kings too, hadn't he? And how it meant so little here?Her awareness, boosted to prescience by meditation and spell, brushed against the immediate branches in the future, but she did not think there was danger here unless they invited it. The danger was in losing access to this boy's contacts and knowledge at this critical juncture. Fortunately, she believed that for him to reach out to them at all implied that he understood the nature of the sword dangling overhead. Maybe better than they did."They'll come when they're satisfied," she replies softly to Gerard. "And you are bullheaded."The last words are spoken with gentle humor, and a smile to let him know she's teasing him.</blockquote>
