"I understand.  It's one of the reasons I've been gone in shadow so long.  I feel like I was often just a shy, timid girl her before I walked the Pattern and went my way.  There seem to be only a few I've felt comfortable around when I was younger."  She caught Gwenevire's eye for a moment and smiled, then looked back to where they were walking.  "The Queen has always been wonderful with me, of course.  I think she sees more of what's in us for not seeing us, if you know what I mean."
