The great hall of the castle stood empty, its far corners and the uppermost reaches of its carved and fabulously vaulted ceiling forgotten in shadows. All was silent but for the soft scrape of a footstool's feet as it walked toward a side door.

Kurt looked around, blinking, his arms tightening on Wolfen as Stephan clung to him in amazed silence. "Vhat...."

Beside him, Jabez broke her silence with a soft, "Wow."

Sal blinked.

"Wilcoxe?" she called out, and the shaggy brown Newfoundland came around the corner, looking very pleased with herself as she sat down in front of Sal, tail thumping.

Wilcoxe's tongue just lolled and she rolled onto her back, clearly expecting a belly rub.

Kurt, staring at a random piece of furniture that was walking through, didn't hear her.

"She's no longer invulnerable," Sal said, smiling as she rubbed her daughter's back. "Because of... well, ye knows."

She sighed and put the heel of her hand against her forehead, wondering if she'd ever feel normal again.
