I could be your friend forever, and Id usually be harmless.
We could chat about all sorts of things and youd enjoy the calmness.
But on rare occasions, I might not control my lifelong urge
To dispatch you to my inner realm, with one great gulping surge.
I dont want to leave you, Kayte. This time you did your in time saving
Of my little self, and you should know that I can match your craving
For a meal of me, with my desire to play for higher stakes.
Im excited by the risk of whether your resistance breaks.
So she took him to the colony, where he was re-established.
They would often go on picnics, where she catered well, and lavished
Every well-cooked giant treat on him, still keen to cultivate
Lasting friendship with the second boy she very nearly ate.
Back in present time, when Anna Lyste wound up a consultation
With the childless Queen, she told Ambloome, We have a situation.
Im afraid that I should break a client privilege. Bernard said
That he tricked Kayte into thinking he was one on whom she fed.
It was while she was with Tennyce. Alicindra had been kept in
Bernards loop, as both of them prepared a culinary deception,
So that Kayte would think shed eaten someone, which he knew would rid
Her of urges to eat someone else. And now she dates that kid.
Anna filled in all the details. Ambloome rapidly demanded
Private audience with Alicindra. That was underhanded!
She exclaimed, By rights I should put Kayte straight under Queens arrest.
You had better hope that I decide its worked out for the best.
You dont always make the right decisions, Alicindra stammered,
When we first discovered earth you thought the giants were enamored
Of their charm. You let us go there often. Then you pulled the plug
On the amulets for most of us, because of one mad thug.
Albans motive for the things he did, which left you grieved and stressful,
Was preventing us from going there. Youve made him quite successful.
Im aware your mother had to move. She has been greatly missed,
But perhaps you need to talk that out in time with Anna Lyste.
Maybe YOURE the hypocrite! said Ambloome, Brazenly maintaining
That concern for earth relations is the cause of your complaining,
When your LATERALDATE events on earth have had to be curtailed.
Since I offered you the colonies, you should think Alban failed!
Then she stopped and said, Im sorry. We should really be united.
Youre Kaytes mother. Nonvors mine. Its time for us to be more sighted.
I will have to have my special agents keep an eye on her.
If she doesnt re-offend, there wont be penance to incur.
I am sorry too, said Kaytes Mom softly, We have never fought yet
Til this day. When you stopped amulets, except for our small quartet,
Which has grown a bit, I knew that you were right. I just lashed out.
Its been hard to run the group with Kayte. I was not right to shout.
