Jespo is not only the most gullible wizard around, he’s also the most emotionally vulnerable; two traits that endear him to our busy, busy assassin bee as an all-around “soft target.”  Hence, the poison poured in Jespo’s ear regarding our formerly wishing coquette.One of these days, they’re all going to put two and two together, and then the fur will fly.</blockquote>
