"You love us!"

"Yeah, but don't read too much into that, girls my age make a lot of poor life choices!" Lupita shoots back

It soon enough they are done, and out rushes Widow Febland with a tray of ice cold freshly squeezed lemonade

Which she almost drops

"Whoa there..." Sam goes to catch!

Sam catches it, the old lady says "Oh such a dear, thank you. One moment, I'll get the crisps. A pact is a pact."

"Totally..."

"Oh indeed, in totality" and the lady flounces off in her Jackie O outfit

The lemonades are good, quite good, particularly after all that work.

"Damn. It IS freshly squeezed" Lupita says

"Yeah, we should make sure we stop back."

Siiiiip.

"We should" The others agree.

The widow returns with crisps, and .."Oh your payment"

"The lemonade is great, thanks!"

The payment is.. well , it's suposed to be money.. instead she's brought ..some odd little teeth?

"Um..."

About like baby's first tooth sized

but doesn't quite look human

"Uhm.." Lupita haromnizes

Sam picks up a tooth, kenning it.

It's Dross! And smells faintly like..chicken.

...Cat teeth?

"Oh..." the woman says "That's not what I pay with I? .. oh my. Would you prefer money?"

Nope..wrong shape for cats

"Oh, I'll take these... so that'd be the weeding."

"But it will be 20 to Lupe and May for the grass."

"Of course" she bounces of...

Another sniff. Didn't Siv go on once about Hen's Teeth?

Yes she did.

"Oh that poor woman" May says with sympathy

"Well, she's really nice."

Sam rolls the teeth in the palm of her hand, inspecting them. "And these are pretty cool."

"They look like a soft stone" Lupita says "But I don't think tehyr'e better than money you could use on your trip"

"They're... teeth, I'm pretty sure."

"I think Tove would like them. You know how she does art stuff..."

"I guess but I hate to see you short changed" May says

Just then, Mrs. Febland comes back the widow handing out twenties "I'm not sure why folks love this so but it's true many do..One for you, one for you..."

"Mrs. Febland, that's too much... " She kenns the old woman, too.

there's something about her that... oh wow, she's kinian, like Sally Mae!

ONly not enchanted

Her eyes widen.

"YOu gave us too much. This one will do" May says and hands back a 20.

Lupita sighs "Yes, and thank you for the lemonade"

"Yes, thanks. Hey guys? You go on ahead, I'm gonna do stuff."

"If you're sure?" May says

"She's sure, see you around, Sam" Lupita takes May away

And dagmar is on her own

"Thank you for the teeth Mrs. Febland. They are very nice. Say, could you take a look at the, for a second?"

"The comma? What's it done? Is it an oxford comma ? SO full of themselves, but some folks love them"
