I wish I could do more. They're usually in really bad shape and it's awful having to turn them away. 

Turn them away?

Some of them are fine and some of them murder everyone within reach as soon as they get a good opportunity and there is no way to tell them apart. 

So where do they go?

I don't know. Out alone, I guess. 

Even if they have an excellent reason not to let me actually do anything it's possible I could tell the difference. If they'd rather that than having to go out alone.

I will suggest it the next time one comes. 

Thanks.

I think reading their minds would really bother you. 

Turning harmless tormented people out to wander around really bothers me.

Yeah, us too. We don't do it lightly. 

So I'll check the next one who's willing to be checked.

And we'll make it known that that's an option. 

Thanks.

Hug?

Hug.

It is awful about turning away prisoners of the Enemy. It is also awful looking at the site of a massacre they carried out. 

Yep.

Everything is in fact pretty awful but at least all the dead come back. Ooops. She hadn't meant to think that in front of Kiri. 

It's okay. It's good that yours do.

I should probably go, I promised to walk a few people back from the concert. 

Okay. Where should we go?

Guest rooms! I can show you where they are if you let me gather people first. 

One of the people she gathers is Maitimo, who is talking to two others and stops to introduce them. Saeros, Daeron, this is Kiribel. And privately, Luthien doesn't have any power and it'd take me more than a few months to change that though I may try anyway. These people are the King's advisors who he actually occasionally listens to. 

Pleased to meet you, Kiri says to Saeros and Daeron. Your concert was stunning, she adds to Daeron.

Thank you, he says agreeably. It is a delight to have guests. The Queen's taken a personal interest in your skills?
