The next day, the Winter Knight arrives, as scheduled, accompanied by a pair of fey creatures; the first is a skinny, pale, elven-like man, with white hair, and eyes as blue as Sapphire's, and the other looks to be more troll than anything else. Tamara, of course, is wearing a slinky evening dress, and looking absolutely stunning as she always. "I must say, I was almost expecting you to try to double-cross me," she says, with a smile. "You are a very interesting man."
