I was starting to feel Kisten’s frustration as I left the dining car, having failed to find Lucius in his room. I knew if he was outside his room, Kisca was probably by his side, and I decided to focus on finding the pixie, since at least I knew what she looked like. I made my way through the quiet car and, not finding Kisca, continued to the lounge car. Finally, in one of the many reading booths, I caught sight of her short blond bob, swaying slightly as she rocked in the seat. A dark-haired woman sat next to her and I was wary as I approached them. “Kisca?” I spoke softly, doing my best to avoid bringing attention to the pair. Kisca smiled as she looked up at me and her pink eyes glowed for a moment. The woman melted away before my eyes, revealing Lucius, who was smiling at me brightly.
