#anywhere

He finishes his drink... and starts to grab his gear.

He looks so serious as he begins to prepare for the cat finding.

Ariel sing whispers under her breath "he must be swift as a coursing river..."

"We're going?" Excited.

"With all the strength of a great Typhoon" Ariel continues

Holger starts to head out. He isn't really acting like he expects company

Ariel blinks "Okay. I think 'HE' is going?"

Well, Ellie takes off right after him!

"Oh, we're going after all" She chases

"Come on, Salma, we're going to get your cat"

"Ellie's gato." She corrects, and follows after!

"Salma's gato."

The boggan turns and looks confused as the kids are gone. Oh well, surely they'll have sense to stay in the hold.

Narrator's Voice: They did not.

Holger didn't even realize the girls were following him at first, he had gone a block and a half when he turned around, and gasped.

"We're helping!"

"¿Señoras? ¿Por qué estás aquí afuera? Puede ser peligroso. Te encontraré un buen gato, pero estarías más seguro en la bodega."

"Oh, but it is so much more interesante out here!"

He face palms.

"What's he saying?" Ariel asks "I honely knew the part about a cat?"

"Buen is good."

"And what if you find the wrong cat? Gato incorrecto? The princesca will be in tears." A finger runs a solemn line from her eye down her face.

"And bodega's a store."

She whispers back to the girls, "He wants us to wait at home." A pout.

"But how will we know it's the right cat?"

"Si?!" She nods to Holger and gestures to the sidhe.

Ariel crosses her arms

"Podría ser peligroso! " he tries to find the word "Muy Danger?"

Ariel says "He thinks he can handle danger just because HE is a boy" a snort

then she adds "And a troll. a troll boy"

"I can handle danger... oh, I should have brought Fireheart."

"Oh, I can fetch her! Shall I?"

"It's your cat, though."

He sighs mutters and keeps walking.

She reaches to take Ariel and Salma's hands.

Ariel let's her.

The streets are not as empty as they should be at this time. The young feel fierce but hey.

She squeezes her friends' hands as they follow the troll boy.

She hesitates, clearly wanting to run to fetch the girls' sword, but obeys and trots alongside.

"Un caballero siempre es cortés." She calls ahead to the boy.

He winces , blushes and turns "Lo Siento. Pardon."

She gives him a grin, no hard feelings.

And a tug at a long ear as she remarks to Ellie, "Princesca will learn that there are always those who are listening. That is why you must keep your servants close to your corazón, " Patting her chest over her heart, "That they listen in your benefit, si?"

Ariel wrinkles hoer nose at the servants word but trots along

"Oh, yes! But the english word is 'advisor.' You aren't a servant."

THAT makes Ariel smile again

"Si, princesca." She replies amiably.

"That's how a court works, you need the best people."

Straightening up a little, and brushing a wrinkle from her frock.
