Broaching the subject of the identity of "Honorable Sir" and his current marital status to her brother Silver Fox is far enough in the past to be a source of hilarity to both siblings. However, once the arrangement is explained to the prospective bride and groom, Parakeet and Honorable Sir are delighted with each other and their matchmakers. He could wish she were a little fairer skinned; she could wish that having children would do no damage to her figure. But overall, it is almost perfect.

The thoughts that Master Son of the Sun will not live forever, and that she cannot count on being a pretty girl always, do disturb Parakeet somewhat. She would much prefer to be a noble patroness than be obliged to live at the whim of one, which was one good reason for choosing not to be an entertainer. What she needs, thinks Parakeet, is a rich and foolish husband. Uncharacteristically, she mentions this to Smoke Cat at one of their meetings at the magic door. The shaman knows just the man.

Happily, Parakeet likes her decorated hands, finding them beautiful and exotic as well as instructive. Unable to find a noble patroness to guide her erratic singing and dancing career, Parakeet decides to become a professional artists' model instead, deeming it no hardship to remain absolutely motionless for hours at a time. If only posing for a painting or a sculpture granted her some power over others, she would be entirely content. Soon, however, she attracts a flock of young admirers.

It is, of course, a magical variant on tattooing or mehndi, and it will appear brightest and clearest when she is nearest the desired flora. When the mute enchantment on Parakeet begins to weaken, a new plant will bloom on her hands, just in case she might be tempted to forget. And it is true that her life and lifestyle depend on fulfilling these commissions, both for the wealth she loves and for the inability to sell secrets that would get her killed if only she had the sense to realize that.
