"Grace! Helen!"
Shard was surprised at how they got here, and Grace heard the voice, then turned and said with a sweet smile:
"Good evening, sir. Helen and I haven't seen a young unicorn in centuries. This elf young lady just said it belongs to the Saint Byrons' herd. Maybe we played with its ancestors during the Fifth Era."
"Good evening, sir!"
Helen, dressed in a black skirt, also said happily, explaining the reason for their presence:
"Zina received a letter from Megan, that's how we knew you were injured. We went to the Dragon Nest you mentioned last time and touched the statue there, so we came straight over. No, we can't stay away from Milestone for long, we'll head back after dinner!"
Shard didn't comment on how long they could stay away, as long as the sisters were happy:
"I'm fine, it's just a scar."
"That won't do!"
Helen objected strongly:
"It will affect how you feel about us!"
