"No, but Y'Toi will send him to you the moment he arrives. You don't think
he'll change his mind again? It would really brighten the evening for Terise
if he comes." Her smile returned as she added, "I haven't told her
he'd agreed
to attend."
"Neither have I," he told her.

Kalina's smile brightened. She immediately liked the priest's easy manner.
"This way, Father," she replied, and she quickly led the way to the first door
on the top level.
She knocked and immediately heard Carrhae's voice granting admission. Kalina
opened the door and led O'Malley into the suite. She introduced him first to

Carrhae's grandfather."

"Indeed!" He was clearly impressed. <[It is an honor, sir, to meet you on this of all days.]> he said in nearly accentless Rihansu. <[Much Honor and Blessings be upon your House this, all days.]>
