	We examined each other, in our new robes, wearing unfamiliar faces. I saw Jon, boyishly slender in her orange robes, and Bard - the orange strangely flattering on her. Xodiac was last to dress, and irritable about having to leave the comfortable, steaming pool.		We examined each other, in our new robes, wearing unfamiliar faces.

Women are not permitted to lead our discussions. If you would care to retire to adjust your form-"

	Lamard? I thought. Lamard was a man - Principal Shaper of the Foundry, Gayle had called him. When I saw Lamard he was a keen intellect with little tolerance for time-wasting, a dark-haired man with golden eyes and a shifting wrap of animal print. This was Lamard? She didn't even act like him! Could it be simply that they shared a common name? No, because this woman was also Principal Shaper.		Lamard? I thought.

	"I'm Sarah," the young man said, embarrassed. "I don't really have a position. I'm a - I mean, I used to work as a flight attendant." When Master Irsio merely raised his eyebrows, she continued, "That is, I served as hostess aboard an airplane. We traveled from place to place. Mostly it was centered around San Jose. We'd fly to another city, Portland, Las Vegas, whatever, and we'd take care of the passengers, we'd stay the night there, and next trip we'd fly back."		"I'm Sarah," the young man said, embarrassed.

	"We're wasting our time with this one," the man said abruptly, getting to his feet and adjusting his animal wrap. "Let's go talk to one of the others on the list.

	The man saw my look of blank incomprehension, and interrupted briskly before I could ask the obvious question. "You won't come with us in body," he said. "In spirit only.
