Then he sobers for a minute. "I'll see you at many of the parties you'll have to attend, but I'm afraid I can't even come to tea without making you infamous," Silver Fox tells Shooting Star apologetically. "Don't they know I was a pirate?" she asks. "Oh, what you do in foreign climes is all right so long as you have the approval of the crown and make lots of money. And, of course, you must never, ever, say the word 'pirate' and flaunt that in their faces where they'd be forced to notice."

"I, on the other hand, can sing, but never truly applied myself to learning an instrument." He gazes around the room at all the people with whom he must appear bored; this is less difficult because many of them do bore him. "Soon," says Silver Fox, "I'll be accused of monopolizing your time." "Oh? I suppose I should care. Who here is least likely to make me want to slap them?" she asks in a low voice, her eyes twinkling. "I'd say you're doing quite well adapting to Court life," he smiles.

"Because he's married, you could visit his house for several days at a time if you felt so inclined. After you settle in here a bit more, of course," Silver Fox tells her, reinforcing what he said when he originally spoke of the magical portals. "Yes, he has been so kind as to invite me, even though I'm not intrinsically musical. I think he hopes to change that. He's given me a mandolin to practice with, and I confess that I enjoy playing it, although my singing voice is... sadly deficient."

"All in your honor, so you can't refuse to go, poor thing," Silver Fox says, half-teasingly. "The next person who tells me I'm an exotic tropical flower, though, is getting an elbow in the gut. I would say to the nose, but the blood might ruin this outfit, and I actually kind of like it." Shooting Star smiles. "Speaking of flowers," Silver Fox changes the subject slightly, "have you met Maestro Sun Son yet?" "Yes, I've had the honor of meeting both him and his wife the Northern emissary."

She does, of course, look lovely, but there's no doubt that Estel is missing her freedom of movement a little bit. "I have a pool, a real pool for swimming and not just a reflecting pool, in case I might miss the exercise," she tells him. "That was actually very thoughtful. I swim more now than I did before," says Shooting Star the ambassador. "How are you getting by, really?" Silver Fox asks quietly at the party where they have met. "I'm doing all right, I think. So many parties, though."
