The gully dwarves all jump and turn towards the doorway. They cower away from him, Please, please don’t hurt us, we’ll behave.

One of them suddenly runs forward to attach to Gneiss’ leg. She looks up at him, You not hurt, you nice.

Out in the hallway, Tygerlilly is distracted by Kalrin’s offer, Oh, please? Yes! She watches him carefully as he performs the magic and she’s fascinated and jumps up and down once she’s clean. Oh, thank you, thank you. She gives him a big hug before she runs down the hallway after the others.

Gneiss is standing in the doorway with Lagri and Vleric coming up behind. The other gully dwarves stare at the one attached to Gneiss and all of them suddenly crowd forward, trying to get to him. The others suddenly see gully dwarves spilling from the doorway.
