In Djivan's cabin, Olivia tells the Skreek about her troll-related dream and the events surrounding it, including the ritual performed by Natasha and Isolde. Rather than appear shocked at the weirdness of it, the rat is gleeful, claiming it means Olivia really is perfect to play the romantic lead of the Troll Queen in the play he's writing.
Olivia is first amazed that Djivan is actually writing a play, and that he's getting technical help from Natasha and Lili as well. He hints that it will be a tragic romance, with the bold hero (played by himself) wooing the Queen of the Trolls which he wants Olivia to play.
After all she's been through, Olivia is hesitant to accept the role, at least until she knows more about it and sees the costume designs.
