Nick Podehl narrates this story, which takes place over one day. Bast, a cocky fae, is apprenticed to Reshi, the keeper of the Waystone Inn, who spends his day adventuring. Children with high-pitched voices visit the lightning tree, where Bast helps them with small problems in exchange for secrets and favors. Shouting and a trembling voice capture Rike's anger at his alcoholic father and his fear that he will share his father's affliction. Low, protracted tones add sensuality when Bast spies on a woman taking a bath. While Reshi's gentle, matter-of-fact manner with Bast gives their relationship a parental feel, this production maintains the sinister elements that make up its universe.
