"Uh—your sister, I mean, I know she's not dead, but she is missing…" Angeline spoke cautiously, and then faltered, seeing the blank and startled expression crossing Katsa's face.

Po cleared his throat and asked, "How can you tell the difference between dead and missing?" Angeline looked from Po to Katsa and then spoke as if remembering something.

"When someone is dead, I have a sense of their absence but not of their presence. When someone is missing, I have a sense of both presence and absence. I know it seems quite vague in that context but…um…have I affronted you?" Katsa shook her head, trying to clear the whirlwind in it. She was hearing words, but none of them made sense in here mind.

"A sister? You must be mistaken. I don't have a sister. I was an only child. My mother died of a fever when I was an infant and my father died in a battle when I was three. I don't—your Grace must be mistaken." Angeline straightened.

"My Grace is never mistaken." She then pursed her lips and cocked her head thoughtfully to the side for a moment. "I suppose I could find her." At this conformation, Katsa suddenly felt a dizziness sweep over her. Po must have sensed this, for a she heard was the scraping of a chair before she feel down into one that wasn't behind her a moment ago.

"Who is she? What is her name?" Katsa blurted out. Angeline held up her hands.

"I know nothing about her, only that I may be able to find her."

"Could you really?" Angeline nodded. "Would you really?" Again, Angeline nodded. "Well, you can't go riding in this condition, so you'll just have to tell me where she is." Angeline closed her eyes. For two agonizing minutes, Katsa held her breath and was acutely aware of everything in her surroundings:Po's awkward shifting, the sleeping patients, and even the sound of the rustling leaves outside that were being blown by the wind. Shaking her head, Angeline opened her eyes.

"It's strange, but she's not in the Seven Kingdoms but almost parallel to them. She seems to be within and without the one intersection of these two…these two…I don't know what to call them. But, I'm sorry, there's no way for me to give you directions. I must go with you."

Katsa's heart was still in a beating frenzy when she replied, "Then we shall go as you as you are ready. We shall start planning the trip tomorrow." She got up and headed for the door, turning around once more only to say, "Good night."
