605 - Condemned to Hayel
Perisalas
Shefenkas looked down at the letter lying on his desk. It had been sent over on the run from the
Pages, from Intharas's desk. Under the desk his one hand scrubbed over his
thigh. The floridly hand-written letter was excessive in both the size and
shape of the letters, with trailing tails on many individual characters, and
the language.

604 - I Take Every Advantage
Kyriala sat
on the mat wearing the bright blue split-skirt thing Riala designed for her, with
her old Socks on the floor next to Bella.
Her tiny white dog sat between my big black bitch's front paws, looking
like a toe ornament.
Gan sat up
on one of the dog-washing stations with Tanifas's tinies on and around him,
while Farasha sat in the padded chair with the cats, other than Eltras,

AN: Just gotten on now...
I've been driving around all day and could not write a single word.
More tomorrow.

603 - Absolutely Effortless
The office of the Chamberlain was a hive of activity, with
the underservants holding their notebooks or swaths of flowers and bolts of
fabric. Even as a pair left with a glass
statue carefully wrapped on a litter another group came in with a stack of
bound volumes for review.
Tenii Sal Faren, the Chamberlain of the Marble Palace after
Skorsas, signed before nodding the book away.

601 - His cheeks Are as a Bed of Spices
We put our hands back in the box and Sas handed me the
wedding ring. I took a deep breath and
began to recite, as if to my priest --
Selinae's Answer to the God.
1: "Oh, Thou, my
beloved. Thou art white and pure and
clean, and greater than ten thousand stars upon the veil of night. His head is as the most fine gold."
2: "His eyes are the eyes of dove by the river side, His
skin as

600 - Let Us Sing
I peered through the layers of veils. I could barely see and desperately needed my
attendants to steer me into place on the Temple steps, like a large ship, or a
blind horse. I could look down and see
my own feet clearly but not much else.
It was hot and confining.
Kallijas pulled the top veil off and it was amazing. It brightened up, and became cooler. Oh,
please take the next one

599 - I'm Hungry Now
Jia has a fancy scarf
wrapped around under his eyes and over his tentacles, tied in a big fancy
bow. It's green dots on silver… little
dots and he's matching the pattern. It's the same as my suit and I'm a big
enough boy that I get to stand up with Kallijas.
I'm standing next to Minis and
Jia's being good. Laisa's grandmother
said that the animals should come, as long as they didn't shen
