| T'lara runs from one box to another and then runs to the bank. Tears are streaming down her face. She rereads a letter in her hand and begins to cry more. Soni has followed her around but she takes no notice. T'lara is gathering gold coin and counting and recounting. Finally, she looks at the inadequate amount of gold and puts it in a bag. T'lara puts on her green robes and heads to the Rose. The path to the Rose seemed twice as long as it normal.
T'lara spots Gwen sweeping off the steps and bursts into tears and runs to her. T'lara shoves the letter in Gwens hands and collapses in her arms crying.
