Perhaps an association with the Neighborly explains the rajans reluctance to eat, but how does it factor in with the statement Antonio, (or someone) brought up: of a whole spirit (Horn's) going into a whole body (Silk's)?

I like this, because it is more powerful, and because the Neighbors 
would probably agree. It was after all Horn's task to bring Silk, not 
Silkhorn, to Blue.

That's how Horn's departure was effected, and how Babbie managed to be 
there---with Neighborly help.
