When Grace and I return to the packhouse, I have to admit that the sprites are overwhelmingly appreciative of our assistance. Grace lets them know that they are always welcome, but especially if they are frightened or need assistance. Before they head back to the forest, I ask Funichio to continue
A couple of days before we leave, I see Thomas with a little Tula tucked up against his neck as they come into the dining hall. It’s the first time he’s been out of his room since the hunters came.
