There was an air about her of greater purpose. He'd quickly gleaned she would never really be one of the family. There was something unique about Elspeth. "You should go to the Crescendo and check on Elspeth in my stead."Īs of the last update Xander received from her, she had done well infiltrating the Cabaretti. ![]() ![]() The golden claws he had adorned his fingers with tonight clanked against the metal. "Nothing." Xander folded both hands on the top of his cane. He chuckled softly to himself and murmured, "I'm going soft in my old age." Had there ever been a time in New Capenna where such peace and tranquility truly existed? Had there ever been a time in his life? ![]() Instead, he continued to stare at the peaceful visage of the woman. "My lord, if we are going to make the Crescendo on time, we should begin preparing for our departure." Xander could feel his general's confusion as he followed Xander about the museum. ![]() "Every time I look at it, I think of my own mother." If only he could remember anything about her. "This is one of my favorites." Xander paused before a statue of an angel cradling a babe.

Tonight, on the eve of the Crescendo, he was determined to walk them all one final time and savor their splendor. These familiar halls, polished and carefully curated, were as sacred as a church to Xander.
