I left Portlish in Theridialis's lab with Mabel while Zinnia escorted the protesting Frestendel out of the Seat. Watch him, I sent to the drach as the cook almost passed out from excitement. Who will watch you if I do? Her diamond eyes flashed with power as I retreated. I'll be fine, I sent. I'm going to kick my grandfather's a*s now. Best of luck, Mabel sent. Let me know if he needs roasting. I did laugh then and hoped I wouldn't need her after all. I'll send Sequoia down when I find her, I sent. Until then, make sure he doesn't steal anything and take off. I think this one is more honest than his counterpart, Mabel sent, mind still firm on mine as I stepped onto the elevator platform at the back of the room and took the short ride up to the throne room. He will not give me trouble.
