Need this be very different than Mucor's possessions, Mora/Fava's? Perhaps
the agency is actually Mucor (although I don't know of any instance where we
are told she cause a "3rd party possession".)

Well, if the agency was in fact Mucor, this makes sense. More generally,
Babbie is strong (SilkHorn is exhausted), brave (Silk is falling into his
Silkish pit of despair), and devoted to Horn.

Perhaps he's sleeping? (I know, Babbie is nocturnal.)
