Iobel writes to both parents with the news.
Kalars writes back; she has his utmost sympathy, but if she doesn't want a visit he doesn't need to be there for his own sake.
Raney doesn't write back; she just turns up the next day, dwarf caiman familiar tucked under her arm.
She wants to meet her son-in-law.

Zevros will just be incredibly smug, over here, about how he got both Iobel and Edarial to smile at the same time.

Well, Edarial's looking less like a raincloud, at least. Victory for brotherly intuition!

Eventually Iobel shows her mother out of the palace, after lunch has been had. Nimmen goes too, singing in her own language from where she is tucked under her binder's arm. Iobel walks them as far as the gate and then comes back.
