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.

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.
"So. That's Raney."
"So. That's Raney."

"Yeah, I mean that she channels her liking people, she doesn't just think kind thoughts in a corner."

"There we go. That's more accurate. You can think kind things about people in a corner all you want, people won't like you much for it. You will be the corner goblin and frighten people."
