The Blue Willow dishes Victoria and Dorcas Vashon had been eating from was the nicest china Victoria had ever seen, but after the arrival of the Griffin they dined on dishes that belonged in Buckingham Palace.

Heavy crystal glasses.

One set of dinner plates had pink roses on its border. Another yellow pansies. A third was rimmed in gold.

Most intriguing was one set of breakfast dishes. Bright white with green dragons and phoenixes. The way they swirled around the edge of the plates, the middle of the teacups, Victoria was betwixt and between as to whether they were engaged in a dance or a chase.

And a green phoenix? Whenever Victoria came across any mention of a phoenix it was red. For a phoenix was a fire bird, rising from ashes. Reborn. New. Stronger.
