Zoltan shares, through sign, the tale of his many adventures with Star (aka "Moon-Brow") concerning her family and the City of Hands … and he also breaks the news that he is taking her to see Jezebel (aka "Third-Vision" or "Third-Eye") at the Shiny Shoppe. Back at the store, Loosetongue the Lightfingered – a Kavi "trader" – tries to pawn off some trinkets to Nicodemus, taken from a recently deceased "Jupani" Exile. Some of them remind Zoltan of the "metal bird" on Paradys, and the Kavi indicates that he sold some picture-books to some Eeee – with pictures of "boomers".
