By then, Eljay noticed Towhee and Rye, though he seemed to ignore the latter as he begged Towhee to help him. "She and Reyes got into a fight," he said, then asked her if she could assist in rousing the Regent.

She took a step toward them, then stopped because her legs were trembling. "Reyes," Towhee repeated a bit slowly and stupidly. "Reyes did this to Niamh?"
