Aaron visits Alysin's Opera House, in search of records from the Opera House's time as an auction house … hoping to find records of who might have bought a dragon's egg once in the possession of Titus Haut Mikide. He meets an acrobatic cat named Nicia, and speaks with an Eeee manager, and then is shown down to Cellar Two … where his search is interrupted by the sounds of a fuff'nar.
