Summary
"Thom and Alan of Trebond,” Coram told the guard who motioned for them to halt. “They’re here to begin their service at Court.”
The guard glanced over the three travelers. Alanna could hear her heart beating in her ears, so strong it must be visible through her clothes. This was the first test. Would the people at the palace see through her? Or would they, like the innkeepers on the road, see short hair and a boy’s name and not think further?
The guard stepped back. “Welcome to the palace,” he said, and let them in.
Directed by the Gods, Maude sends both Thom and Alanna to page training.

Summary
“Should we talk about what just happened?” Baird asked, voice very low.
“Talk about how an eleven-year-old child opened a doorway to divine power?” said Myles. “Or talk about how that child did so to save the prince from an unnatural disease sent to disable the line of succession? Or talk about how that child is likely now a prime target for whoever sent it?”
“We could talk about how we’re not referring to that child as a boy, right now,” offered Baird, and Myles took a sharp breath.
"For that child’s sake, we should talk about none of this.”

Summary
Eoin was careful to keep his voice even when he said, “The only thing I know at the moment is that you’re drunk.”
“That I am,” Paddy said, and paused for a breath. “Want t’know something else?”
“Go on.”
“You’re blushing.”
(or, what happens when Eoin stays back at camp while Paddy gets spectacularly drunk on a night out in Cairo.)
