<p>&ldquo;Some gesture!&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;Asshole, remember?&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>Serene had arrived with her and Dear&rsquo;s down-tree instance, That Which Lives Is Forever Praiseworthy, or Praiseworthy for short. The entire clade, all one hundred of them, had each taken for their names a line from a poem, the shortest of which was What Right Have I, and the longest The Only Time I Know My True Name Is When I Dream, a jumble of syllables often shortened to just True Name. Both were present.</p>
<p><a href="Ioan.html">Ioan</a> was surprised by a guest who arrived late in the evening when the champagne and wine were already flowing.

<p>The party rolled on inevitably.</p>
<p>A sudden peal of thunder, louder than any Ioan had ever heard, brought silence in its wake.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;It is time! It is time! Please gather around the fire!&rdquo;</em> Excitement filled Dear&rsquo;s voice, though Ioan thought ey could now detect a hint of nervousness that had not been there before.</p>
