Frederico goes to see Topaz, but his father is sleeping; for the first time, the young grendelchi realises how old Topaz is. He leaves his father sleeping and, as he turns to go, is distracted by an odd glimmering at the edge of his vision. Frederico turns this way and that, trying to pin it down; almost, he catches sight of something. A golden shadow, perhaps, or a flash of ruby. On the edge of hearing, a tapping, like a claw on the outside of a shell; but perhaps that's just the wind in the branches outside, who knows? Frederico silently wishes Topaz well for the journey, smiles, and goes home.

No worries, old man Topaz won't be needing them.

|
|
Thank you for the gifts.
|
|
|
Aw, best friends!

"Well, the first egg was fun," says Evelyn. "Would you like another?"
|
|
|
Evelyn comes round to spend some time with Topaz. She has the feeling she's waiting for something, but isn't sure what...
|
|
|
No worries!
|
|
|
Topaz has already been promised to Nutter's Evelyn. Sorry!
|
|
|
Hello! Is Topaz promised to anyone yet? I've adopted a lady grendelchi today.

Following the unusual sound of cracking, Evelyn comes across a happy little blue grendelchi. "At last! More of us!" she beams.
