Elayane waves to Arlo who gets up and refills her tankard with kitchen wine. 

Elayne says, '''"I was in shadow most of the years when the Cousins started coming in.  You don't speak well of them sometimes."

Arlo walks back, refilling glass on his way to the sofa. '''"Among the first of the cousins that came in around that time include Vance, that Benedict found.  He and Bleys brought Doria and Desri in and they took a lot of tweaking to unravel the magical crazy imposed on them.  They came in violent crazy.  Now they are just violent.'''

Haris says, '''"I remember when I first came to Amber, m'lord.  My realm had been seized by raiders from the realm of Rebealas.  They imprisoned my mother and father, the king and Queen, and married one of the raiders to my sister and declared him king.  It was quite polite of them to inform Amber that the new rulers would not interrupt the merchant trade.  King Random sent me back with several of your cousins, Prince Arlo.  Lady Dorai, Lady Desri, Lord Vance, Lord Geryon, Lord Marke, and they slaughtered the raiders efficiently. Free of responsibility my parents retired and left my sister as queen.  They tried to make me take the throne but i stayed here.  "'''  He sighs.

Vander-son of Eric, my brother.  Carissa daughter of Gerard.  Asher and Laravela, son and daughter of Brand. Galvar-son of Osric, Dashel son of Finndo.  Maylon Hendrake, Vek Hendrake, Shaz Far Hendrake, Despil Sawall, Jurt Sawall all of the Benedict-Lintra line of chaosian amberites.  Nightmare...  It certainly has been active"
