Lucivar paled. “Oh, Hell’s fire, no.” “They’ll just come for a visit. Then they’ll go home.” “Swear to me on your Jewels that they will go home.” Surreal blinked. Then she laughed so hard she gasped for breath. “I swear, Lucivar. I swear I

“Reluctantly, I pulled out my necklace and showed it to them.
Samuel frowned. The little figure was stylized; I suppose he couldn't tell what it was at first.
"A dog?" asked Zee, staring at my necklace.
