As afternoon spilled into evening, Cami returned to the Dragon in the company of Lorien, making sure he got back safely to his old room. He said farewell to her at the door of his chamber but promised to join the others downstairs a little later.

Cami headed at once for the common room where Bird, Pio, and Mithadan were already seated and enjoying their stew. She stood in the hallway, with her body half hidden, then peered around the door with an impish expression on her face, and quietly slipped inside. Cami went and positioned herself silently behind Mithadan's chair, standing on tiptoe and leaning over to place an affectionate peck on the man's black curls. "You see, Mithadan, a little thing like two thousand years couldn't keep Aunt Cami away from those twins." Then, she walked to the table and sat down in a seat that Bird had been saving for her.
