**as if regal pinions caress'd th' sides o' the lone vocalist, ebonite pedates merely brush th' terre in sheer noiselessness as miniscule approach is made t'ward the trio. tuneful utterance slides from scorch'd velveteen in mix'd inquisition an' warning, the former prevailing. churning o' slender pistons 'neath argent bodice stills, halt executed at yet a watchful an' tentative distance. questioning bugle rends th' atmosphere on a low volume**

**feminique recognizes only th' impressionist, mime, among these three, and e'en there, she knows her only indeterminately. the forging of an alliance was not to be taken briefly, though the one of breezes had seem'd to be accept'd into the circle with something akin to eagerness on the part of the imitator. 'tis probable that they hold a previous acquaintance, an' the soloist does not presume that such ready acceptance is in store for herself amongst the three newly-made sisters - to think so haughtily and attempt to 'muscle in' on their bond, yet fragile with youth, would possibly prove seriously detrimental to her own health**

**solitary fatale slightly retracts extended crania, as if to acknowledge the birth of their united strength. mimic had noted that she was not one to trifle and toy with, which had proved wholly truth in previous cases. however, p'raps these lands o' chaos could provide another path to be traveled ... intriguing. allies were never harmful to one, and strong ones were a decided turn for the better. indeed, the aforesaid and present trio was one of iron strength, if the soprano observed correctly, an' 'twas rarely that she judged wrong. p'raps if mutual inspection on the sides of both parties was held at length, trust and respect would be earned - alongside th' admittance of another sister into the alliance, mayhap? time would tell**
