Lulie perks up just a little in recognition. Her memories of the witch are hazy now but decidedly positive. It is true she had been treated well in Zenobia's hands. Cadence—the youngest member of her new family, who happens to be standing closest to her—looks at where Zenobia's eyes are directed and realizes what she means. She kneels down by Lulie and puts her hands on the dog protectively. "You mean Lulie?" she asks hesitantly, as Hansel appears in the doorway. "Cordana," Zenobia repeats. "My faithful hunting dog. Oh my dear, you're so old now... Young girl, she was stolen from me and sold to Xanven five years ago. When I came after her, I too fell under Xanven's spell." This is all, in fact, true. The only relevant piece of information that is left out is that Lulie—Cordana—was once a human girl, before she was transformed by Zenobia. But honestly, the witch isn't even thinking about that now. She barely remembered that her dog was actually a girl under a curse of her own design even before she herself had been transformed. Cadence looks at her uncertainly. She can't detect any deception. There is no real reason to think the witch is lying. Suddenly she is very worried at the prospect of Lulie being taken away. This is where Hansel steps in. "I'm so glad we could help bring you back together," he says, and smiles pleasantly. Zenobia nods, and doesn't break eye contact.
