Her lips relaxed into a slight smile. I wasn&#8217;t fluent in Academy staff slang, but I thought I knew what her unicorn comment meant. Unfortunately I <em>couldn&#8217;t see what was in the crotch<\/em> of her leotard to confirm, because it was hidden behind her surgical apron. I kept an eye on her as she flitted around the nursery, tending to Isolde and the infants.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every great warlord in Contraria&#8217;s history has <em>slept under a picture of a bear<\/em>,&#8221; Isolde said, gazing at the cartoony creatures adorning the walls. &#8220;This will do nicely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A 3-star yodeler arrived with<em> flutes of champagne<\/em> for Isolde and myself. &#8220;To the children.&#8221; I raised my glass.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To the children,&#8221; Isolde agreed.
