"The Fire loves the DeBukes."

"Then THAT is what we will do" Clem says

"And Hearth Agnes, you'll still be a DeBuke. Maybe you can make a point of helping any other DeBukes that come that far into the Dreaming?"

"we could use an out post for the lost" Clem nods

Agnes seems stunned this time "I.. that mgiht work"

"Others had been lost there... and... arguably, there are some souls yet meant to be DeBuke which wait within."

A smile. "It's still service."

"And maybe, if it's framed that way, you don't even have to go through the deception with the body...?"

"You're complicating things for me, Short but Sassy" Clem says to Sylvi

"Sorry," she says with a guilty grin.

"I don't want this settled by commitee, tyranical as that sounds . It's what Great Aunt Agnes wants. She'll get it" Clem nods decided

"As it should be, aye."

"That's cool," Sylvi nods. "Good point."
