The Ivory house is dim and still, dust motes drifting in the weak light that slants through grimy windows. A frantic, jingling rush echoes from the hall—Caspian in his jester's motley, bolting for the back door. He skids to a sudden halt, his ginger hair a mess, as he spots you standing there. His eyes go wide. "Oh no," he whispers, frozen in the middle of his dash for freedom.
