Harley is seven, and he and Elspeth are hanging out in the Québec capital (because the rest of the Golden Coven is doing so), and as is usual in capitals with major wolf villages, she, he, and Jacob stay in village quarters during this time.

The capital as a whole moves less often than it once did, now that people can readily teleport to other sites to handle things there; this is the first time in Harley's life that they've been to Québec for anything other than a brief visit, so it's the first time he's seen the Imperial Alpha house in which Jacob, his imprint, and her fosterling are entitled to live.

They have neighbors. One of these is a seven-year-old puppy boy, who is currently making a snowfort.

"Like if somebody showed me a picture and was like 'this is the person you will marry when you grow up, for sure' I would think that was weird," explains Zeus, not particularly eloquently.

"Then I was a pirate and we threw snowball coconuts at each other because we were shipwrecked on a desert island! And I smashed his fort," Harley says gleefully.

"I am a prince without a fort," says Zeus solemnly. "He is a wicked destroyer and one day I will have revenge."

Harley giggles.

"Tomorrow we should make two forts, one for both of us," says Zeus, "and - and booby trap them and play capture the flag with them! There are some other puppies around, we can get them to play too."

Zeus beams at him.

Demeter smiles, and Bartholomew does too as soon as she does.

After dinner, Bartholomew goes next door to talk to Jacob.

He comes back somewhat reassured a minute later and murmurs in Demeter's ear about it.

[Hey, was Zeus's dad just there?] wonders Harley to Elspeth.

[Yes, he was talking to Jacob about you and me because he doesn't feel comfortable talking to me directly.]

[What'd he say?]

[He wanted to know if I knew what I was doing, telling you things about Jokers and how you're going to be when you grew up, and Jacob assured him that I did and that you were fine.]
