"Two years," she groans, then. "Two years." "That is unfortunate," Silver Fox consoles her, "but you have the Firebrand to return to at need. Also I have a house in the Capitol City, and you may wear whatever you like for as long as you are my guest." "Wouldn't I need a chaperon or a duenna or some respectable female to visit your house?" Shooting Star gleans from her memory. He hoped she would forget, or more accurately, he treasures entirely different hopes that he's not ready to share.

Many of the traditions of the Imperial Court of the Central Kingdom shock Shooting Star into raging against their stupidity, and on these occasions, Silver Fox says, "I agree completely. And it is better to rave now than to tear your hair out later. Diplomacy is not easy!" He talks about his sisters and their... problems, with the system in place in the Capitol City.

She spends increasing amounts of time with her four, now five including Uncle Anduin, favorites, discussing old times, or wondering what will happen now that piracy is less omnipresent than it was, or learning about laws and customs of the Central Kingdom.

No, she will remain Shooting Star in public life; it sounds good.

Of course, now there is also a ship's chaplain and resident magician. Speculation is rife among the crew regarding what his scruples will allow him to do, magically speaking, and what must be allowed to happen as nature would otherwise intend. Only time will tell. Now the Firebrand makes its own tour of the islands, collecting Shooting Star's buried assets, and visiting favorite ports. Shooting Star herself becomes more and more withdrawn, possibly to let the crew acclimatize to her absence.
