Gilly brought the twins out to where Pio was sitting. ‘They’re done napping, and they’re all freshened up,’ she said handing the Elf the two baskets. ‘And now I think they want they want their ammë.' Gilly watched with a smile as Pio picked up her daughter and then her son and cradled them both on her lap.

Their grey eyes followed her face with a certain solemnity as she spoke softly to them, their arms and legs moving with a gleeful excitement as she touched her nose to theirs.

‘Come,’ she said, gathering them up in her arms, and motioning for Gilly to bring the baskets. ‘Cook has a rocker in the kitchen. I can rock them a little and then the little ones can play on the quilt on the floor. Though I doubt they will get the chance to be on the blanket if Ruby and Buttercup catch sight of them.’ She walked across the Common Room, Gilly trailing behind her. ‘Once we get settled, go ahead and take the rest of the afternoon off,' she called back to Gilly. 'I can see to the sweetlings . . .’
