“Knew her and more,” Deriv replied.

They stood there in silence for a while until Alinqua broke the silence.

“So you live here, in Senequia?” she asked.

He looked startled, as if he had been daydreaming. “Oh, yes, I live here with my son, Zyvquin,” he said. “Since you are Amy’s d-d-daughter, I will help take care of you. Come with me back to my cottage.” Alinqua didn’t say anything about how he had stuttered, but replied, “Oh, thank you.” Deriv places his hand on the trunk of a willow, and Alinqua watched in awe as the branches parted and revealed a lit path that obviously lead to a house. Deriv gestured for her to go first with his hand, so she walked ahead and he followed. “This is beautiful,” Alinqua said as they walked through the path.
