the Emperor, naturally, leads the discussion, though his wife interjects with a few stories of her own, and the elder children poke their own fun at the younger, though they tend to avoid picking on Tysinni; in addition to being the baby of the family, she was always sickly, so they all coddled her, though she does have her own stories of the mischievousness of others; being less active gave her more time for watching the others, and often made her a confidant for their pranks and misdeeds, some of which she shares here, to embarrass them.
