Tarah had sunk into a sitting position on the edge of her bed. She stared down at the rune on her palm. “Stop sulking, dear. You have a chance to learn a lesson here. You should be happy.”

Tarah didn’t look up. “I feel itchy everywhere.” Bav could see fresh tears welling in her eyes. Pieces of dead skin were now falling off on their own, and they soon littered the surface of the bedspread.

Her throat suddenly felt tight, and she looked away from Tarah, examining the interior of the room. It offered her no comfort from her sudden guilt.

Her eyes passed over the door they had entered through and across the plain white walls that held no decorations. A second door hung open, and through it Bav could see that Tarah’s powder room was kept the same way. These rooms had no character, no personality to speak of. “I have an idea. Why don’t you go into your powder room over there and get cleaned up a bit?”

Tarah stood and moved toward the open door as if on autopilot. She looked up into Bav’s eyes just before she silently swung the door closed.
