Alptraum and Doctor Twig spend some time talking in Twig's study and sharing both drink and cigars. The topics vary, from Alptraum's condition to the strange group called the Prometheans.

At one point they even discuss the legendary Bloodfurs, Stonebarrow, and other rather bizarre locations in Sylvania.

The conversation ends on an odd request … Alptraum wants Twig to teach him how to be more regal.
