Inalia's worried face becomes apparent as two people stand up from the game of cards and come over to her. One is an adult, a man, and likely the father of the second: a girl, seemingly about Inalia's age.

Larak: What do you need? Oh, I see... I don't know who this is. What’s your name, girl?
Inalia: That stern look unsettled her, along with mounting emotions that mingled at the thought of knowing other signless, and the thought that those signless might be Renad.
Inalia: Inalia. I'm, um, signless.
Renad Man: Ahhhh, okay, that’s where the mistake came from. You’re from this town, then?
Inalia: What that man just said stuck out to Inalia. It was strange, wasn’t it?
Inalia: The mistake..? You’re signless too, right? All of you?
Larak: No, no, not at all. We have about as many signless as you Gelenians do. We just wear our signs differently.
Larak: Here, let me show you what I mean.
