"I see that your Academy education is a wise investment," Smoke Cat remarks proudly. "If we just do that, though, Silver Dagger will be wary of a substitution. We must provide some means of verification. Father does not know yet that you can fly, and he's used to seeing genie-daughters come out of Jonas's blue gem." "And supernatural beings must, no matter how reluctantly, tell the absolute truth. That's good!" Kanu interjects. "Regarding the doorway, we'll stall for time," approves Jonas.

"We can restore Mourning Cloak's wand to him, and state with perfect honesty that it is his, if we give him back the decoy he crafted," says Jonas. "Is there any way we could trick him into thinking that it is the evil wand from the cave?" "We could freeze it," suggests Summer Wind, "chill it down so cold that it is impossible to handle without causing frostbite. Father wouldn't be able to touch it, and at that temperature, it would be naturally inert, so he wouldn't expect to feel it much."

Thank you Falak!!! And yes, I totally agree that the Dance is very much a psychological thing! I wish I didn't have two left feet, and were a good dancer myself. Oh well. :)

I think the power of the dance isn't just a spiritual/supernatural thing but also a psychological thing. So, yes the power of the Dance should not be underestimated. :)

"And do not underestimate the power of the dance," Kanu gently tells the irate girl. "We do need to decide what to do regarding Mourning Cloak's ultimatum, however, since I don't believe we will have enough time to close in on his den before midnight," says the shaman, bringing the focus of conversation back to delineating their strategy. "Clearly we cannot give him either item, but perhaps we can make it look as though we have, or we are willing to if granted more time," muses Jonas slyly.

"We weren't ready yet. By waiting, we have forced Silver Dagger into revealing a secret, our brother's whereabouts, that he was not previously prepared to risk," says Smoke Cat. "Also, we have gained time to plan and to obtain more help," Jonas adds. "Star Hawk and Grey Owl are coming, and should be here soon." "But we haven't done any planning; all we've done is argue... and dance!" objects Summer Wind, though less accusingly. "You'd be surprised what we managed to hash out," Jonas grins.

Summer Wind looks up at the faces of her companions, and she is the first to respond. "Mourning Cloak cannot be trusted, but I believe that my brother told the truth about being alive and captive." She pauses. "The sorcerer must be hunted down and killed. We have no other choice." "Agreed," say Smoke Cat Watching and Jonas in tandem. Kanu senses an incipient family squabble and remains silent. "Then why wouldn't you allow me to search the catacombs when I first suggested it?" she demands.
