Set in the Trickster's Queen epilogue when Nawat and Aly slipped away to spend time with the Tortall delegation before they left for home. Strong focus on Daine, Numair and family.

Set during Trickster's Choice when Aly receives the "letter from home" showing Sarralyn Salmalín's Midsummer naming ceremony. How I think Daine and Numair reacted later that night to having their child staying in one shape. Daine/Numair.
