- I know which I'd prefer. Courtiers! To battle!
- Be at peace, Amaranda. Are you injured?
- Only in spirit. I could feel nightmare's icy grip! But now it is gone, and I am warm once more.
- We came seeking your wisdom. This sylvari, Malyck, cannot remember his Dream. Can you help him?
- You'll never believe it. I just got the best letter. They found Daddy!
- Found him...alive?
- Yes! He's okay! He's in a special hospital for soldiers. We can't go visit him becase it's still dangerous, but they say he can come home in a week.
- Yay!
- Will you read the letter to me? The one about Daddy coming home?
- Of course, pumpkin. I know, I'm excited, too.
- When Daddy comes home, can we cook him dinner?
- We will cook him a wonderful dinner. And I will make dessert.
- Oh, you are going to get in so much trouble now!
- Me? You pushed me into it!
- Did not! You tripped over your big feet.
- Mom is going to be so upset when she sees we broke her windows. She's been working on it for weeks.
- Maybe she won't notice.
- The big flower part is completely wrecked! Of course she'll notice!
- Maybe we can fix it?
- Fix it? I don't know how to engrave glass. Do you?
- You just scratch it with something sharp, right? Like a rock.
- That doesn't sound too hard.
- So, how exactly did it happen?
- We were traveling back from the wedding when the town we were staying in was raided by centaurs. We tried to find a place to hide, but one grabbed me.
- I managed to wrench away from him, but his axe tore up my wrist in the process.
- How awful!
- What are you going to do now?
- I'm not sure. I'd always expected to be a jeweler like my mother, but now I don't have enough mobility in my hand for that.
- You know, my brother's in the Durmand Priory, and they do a lot of work with old artifacts, including jewels and jewelry, some of which gets sold to collectors to fund expeditions. You could join them as an appraiser.
- Oh, I'd love that!
- Hi, kids. I came by to ask after your mother. How's she doing?
- She's still not eating anything.
- And she won't talk to us.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Is your mother still having nightmares?
- Every night. She hardly sleeps at all.
- You two look pretty sleepy, too.
- Can you fix her?
- Well, it's not that easy to fix. What she needs right now is love and support. When she was fighting centaurs, she saw some things that really scared and upset her. She needs time for her heart to heal.
- We're taking good care of her.
- I usually work on larger things, like chairs and tables, during the day. At night I set up my bench near the fireplace and carve toys. Little wooden horses, carts with wheels, that sort of thing.
- Seems a bit silly to make fancy furniture and toys in a time like this. Shouldn't we be making weapons?
- We're not weaponsmiths. And people will always need furniture, and children need toys to play with to keep them happy while their parents fight in a war. It's all necessary.
- You were always so good at this stuff. Dad used to get so frustrated with me when he tried to teach me to carve things. I make a better farmer.
- You'll get the hang of it. Don't worry, I'll help you.
- Do you remember that table I made when I was fourteen?
- Unfortunately, yes.
- Thank you for helping me like this.
- What are sisters for? I'm sorry about your farm, but you'll do just fine as a furniture maker.
- I sure hope so.
