[ A wrinkled face, unfamiliar to all, appears in the mirror. She looks unamused. ]

Well, well. Look what we have here. [ She sniffs in distaste. ] To, what is it again? Ah, the Queen's loyal subjects, do not irritate the citizens of the Hollow any more than you already have. If you must go traipsing around the Hollow, at least be polite and do something with yourselves to blend in. If you don't, and they attack you... well, that's not my problem, is it?

Furthermore, it's up to the Queen and her followers to stop this mess. The Hollow's citizens can only be policed in said realm, after all.

[ A raven flies down and perches on her shoulder. It leans into her ear as if it's telling her something. ] And, if you can get them back for me, you may be rewarded with... information. [ The Queen would hate that, wouldn't she? ]

Ah, yes. You may call me The Crone. But don't even think I'm one of the Queen's minions. [ The mirror goes black. ]

Luckily for you, I am.

...Well, information is better incentive than anything I've received. I'll see what I can do about it. It's probably related to that temper tantrum one of the incarnae had.

And that's why they refuse to close the gate, is it? How troublesome, that the Queen can't even rule her own followers.

The gate wasn't here until one of them said she was going on vacation. I suppose she went on vacation into your realm.

[Which means maybe the Healer is the one who opens and closes them to begin with, which is an interesting idea in need of further study.]

Then find her and she'll have to get the citizens back in.
