A tall, exuberant man enters with a sullen young girl at his side. In his arms he carries a leather sack, and as he steps lightly into the glade he is stopped by a strong arm on his shoulder. "Cinead, where are we?" The man smiles fondly down at the girl beside him, obviously blind. "Well, dear sister, we are in the Birch Glade. I thought the Wytti fascinating, and wished to try my luck. And you don't want me to leave me alone, do you?" His voice is cheerful, and coaxing. However, the girl simply stumbles backwards, as if he had dealt her a blow. "You are trying to bond and you brought me?" The words are a hiss, and softly spoken. "What shall I do? You know none would choose me, I cannot see and am of no use. Must you bring me this pain?" The girl appears about to weep, and her sad expression deepens. Picking at her clothing she finishes woodenly "I suppose I must stay. I have no way of returning to our Haupton." Inside a mournful voice cries out. O brother dear, how could you? So close yet so far, far away. You know my lifelong wish will never be realised, you know I could not bond. It would be unfair to the plenyt, even if I did. O, brother mine. How I wish it were possible. Unheeding of his sisters yearning thoughts the 18 year old approaches Cariad. "Dear Wytti, we have come in hopes of bonding with one of your magnificent children. Realising, of course, how you must feel after a birth to so many fine ones we have brought a gift of meat for you." He approaches, bows his best, and places the meal within easy reach. With a sweeping gesture to his silent sister he adds "This is my sister. She is blind, but it has been her lifelong wish to bond. Not that she'd ever tell you. So, even if it is not possible for her to bond, as I know not the criterea, do you have to be a seer or something to bond blind?, she would appreciate just being allowed to stay and listen." With a resigned sigh, Daina gives a deep curtsy, hoping to be allowed to stay.
