Belle has ordered the castle to array itself in preparation for guests; the family's Samarian counterparts will be spending a day here. The smaller girls are left with friends at home.
Dominique probably doesn't need to be reminded to be on her best behavior for extradimensional visitors. Céleste might. She agrees indignantly and promises to let Keziah play with Rainier and everything.
"That's all I ask," laughs Belle. "Jane, we are ready for them at any time."
And on the far end, Jane waits for a cue - and then picks Samarians up and puts them down.

Dominique is on her best behaviour for extradimensional visitors anyway, of course.

Keziah is fascinated with the griffin. He is largely puzzled by her, but allows petting and mane-braiding by two sets of hands instead of one with reasonable equanimity.

Damaris runs up to her alt and demands to be shown around the castle immediately.

Céleste follows. Keziah does too, having been shown that Rainier has a leash and may be led around therewith so she doesn't have to decide.
"This is all enchanted!" Céleste says. "Maman is the greatest enchantress of ever!"

"Soon I will start enchanting and then I will be the greatest enchantress of ever," says Dominique.

"Doesn't enchanting hurt?" asks Keziah. "I asked Mommy if I could learn to do it since she won't let me carry squares around with me and she said no because it hurts."
"It does but Mommy wished her student Luc to be able to do it without minding," says Céleste.

"What're you going to enchant?" Céleste asks, running ahead of everyone else and walking backwards.

Céleste giggles. "Let's go in the woods after we show them the whole castle!"

"Trees!" says Céleste.
"That's what woods means," scoffs Keziah.
"And other plants! And animals! And they're enchanted."

"Is there anything around here that's not enchanted?" wonders Damaris.

"I think everything should be enchanted!" cries Keziah. "Everything everwhere. Our Mommy should enchant the whole Eyrie to - do - things."

"I know! Then the Eyrie would be magic! And everyone would see it, and then we could do all the magic we wanted."

"But it would be fun," sighs Keziah.
"You can just visit here a lot," says Céleste generously.

"Yeah," agrees Céleste, nodding.
"Maybe we will," says Keziah. "And soon we can bring Ariel too! And then Peninnah. When they're bigger."
