Mione
Malfoid
Porter
Corvina
The clause that clears her father's name is in the founder's book, and the book is bound in the founder's hide, and the ink has gone thin where the hide wore through. It will take new ink, but only from skin that has been made to flush, and it takes a name for a name. Eleven days to the hearing, three names on the page, one blank at the bottom.
The document gets them into the room. The countdown means they cannot leave. The sex is what happens because they are both there and neither of them is any good at talking.
