The institutional trap, and it is the good one: the Kindred hold a Compact seat, and talking to the seat does not get you the keel. The Cairn must go and ask Naris in person every time — and has never written down what it does when he says no. Why the Ferren are there — not gratitude, not alliance: they watched a sun go out and the losing was unwitnessed except by themselves. They join so the next one is not. Presence as insurance.
