James Hive-Maker, another ancient with a split  visage , watches you on his portable  télé  (carried for him by his  abeille  proteges). He is curious how you react to these goings on. He is watching for a sigh, a tear, other  signe  of weakness... and will use this as a clue to how he should behave (hoping that this will bring the two of you closer together, and give him some advantage over you in the final struggle now scheduled between you).
