If Majorita feels like she has eyes boring into her for much of the time she's entertaining the children... well, it's because she does. The fun police here (Barnaby) absolutely hasn't forgotten how callous she was towards the citizens of Venera, and although retribution from the Regent in this case would be a much stronger deterrent to mistreating them, he has no idea if that would stop a girl who has so far come across as something of a loose cannon.

It's in the middle of her magic show that Barnaby approaches, and after smiling to the children and apologising for interrupting, he draws her to one side, turning his back on the little gathered crowd to shoot her a flat look. "Please don't do anything dangerous. And I shouldn't have to say this, but you're forbidden to use magic on them. Period."
