When Willam spoke of being willing to continue to teach Azucena, the girl’s face just lighted up at the prospect. Helotes had never seen the girl take such interest in another person before, and it gave him joy; a female influence would be such a welcome addition to his daughter’s development. When the faithful woman gave condolences for Zana, Helotes nodded in acceptance; he himself was not sure if Zana was dead or not, but he could understand why the majority of the clan believed she was.

Helotes could nearly feel Willam’s hesitation and worry, it was nearly palpable. For a moment he worried that he might have offended the woman by asking her to dinner, he still did not know much about her or her beliefs, perhaps he shouldn’t have been so forthright. But as soon as she spoke that should join, if the children agreed, his worry melted away. Both Azucena and Basilio looked up at the woman with smiling facing, "Oh, please join us Willam!" Zuzu said earnestly. Helotes gave the woman a look that made it clear that his children would always enjoy her company.

With a friendly gesture of his hand, Helotes offered to lead the way to the mansion. They would not go into his quarters, where the family usually ate, he felt that might make Willam too uncomfortable. Instead he planned on having the family and their guest eat in the mansion’s own dining room, a neutral ground for all parties involved. The conversation would surely be lighthearted, as it always was with the constantly inquisitive minds of the children around. But the Lykoi decided that he would eventually talk to the woman alone; perhaps she could help to guide him in how own spiritual journey.
