Jane alerts everyone to the existence of a new Bell, the nature of her wives and children, and the presence of her mother-in-law.

She stands ready to move in anyone who wishes to attend this new party.

Glass stands ready to receive them.

"The outright usurpers among us are Golden and Shell Bell. Both the governments they deposed killed innocent people routinely. Rest of us are orthogonal to politics, space colonists, taking power more naturally," she raises a hand, "or doing diplomacy. Or whatever. I don't think Sarion's settled on a strategy, she's been repairing her brain, she'll probably do something soon, she seems mostly better to me."
calendarofcrime: Thoughtful or amused. (<= what a novel concept)

"In which case," Sherlock says dryly, "it seems odd to predict that Glass will usurp anything."

"Is there some secret number of times I have to say that she totally might not do that which will placate you?"
calendarofcrime: Thoughtful. (<= what is my name?)

"I already know she is not going to do that."

"Then I don't get what the problem is."
calendarofcrime: At a distance, holding something. (== off to a good start)

"Clearly you do not."

"I questioned her about her troubling assumption that you are going to overthrow my mother and she does not seem to comprehend the scope of the problem."

"I didn't know that," says Aegis indignantly. "You didn't write in the Bellbook yet."
calendarofcrime: At night, mostly in shadow. (== at home in the dark and the quiet)

"It is a problem that the first assumption, absent special circumstances, is that a Bell living in someone else's kingdom will conquer it as soon as possible," says Steel. "It is a problem that that is viewed as the default course of action."

"Most of us don't live in kingdoms. There's Glass and Sarion and Rose, that's it, Rose is ignoring monarchs and Sarion's been fixing her brain so we don't know yet what her plan is. Angela's got a theocracy with term limits she can wait out, Shell Bell overthrew a technical democracy and Golden a shadow oligarchy thing. Amariah has some clan queens around but she didn't marry one's kid and live with her and I don't think they work like human queens anyway. The default course of action is to find leverage and haul on it. It's just, what that leverage looks like changes world to world."
