Dionysus Rumbleford comes back later, sounding shocked, "Avery, do you feel that?"

• Avery looks up, confused. "Feel what?"

Dionysus "I guess maybe you... It's... Like... Unseelie."

• Avery pales slightly, standing up. "Where?"
• Avery tries to feel it himself.

Dionysus "On the ship! Somewhere... Very weak."

Dionysus He pauses, then says slowly, "Are... there any pregnant women on board?"

• Avery is silent for a moment, then shakes his head. "I...I don't think so...Leia's not, and I can't imagine Tomerane ever..." he goes faintly red.

Dionysus Rumbleford is quiet a moment, then says, "Right. It's impossible. It's... an echo of his presence, when he met you, that's all."

Avery "...Leia said she saw him once...back on Merukis...maybe an echo of that..."

Dionysus He nods. "Maybe we should talk to her."

Avery "...maybe. I can tell you roughly what happened...we all heard Aurelia scream, and went to go see...she said she'd...had a nightmare, and someone went to check on the Enforcers and they'd all been killed and...stuffed with straw, someone said, and then Leia fainted..."

Avery "When she came to, she said she'd thought she'd seen...him."

Dionysus Rumbleford pauses, "Aurelia had the nightmare?"

• Avery nods, starting to look worried as the memory fills in. "She...felt a little different, too...I got distracted with Leia and forgot to ask her about it..."

Dionysus "Let's... go see her first."

Avery "Right."
