"I try to help." Heading back to the ashram.

"Ah so where are we going?" He asks following along

"I? I am going to where I am staying. You must needs figure out what to do now."

"But I don't KNOW what to do now? I went to church once, but really? A lot of it sounded very tedious."

"Well, perhaps self reflection?"

"Nepal is a good place for that."

"It is indeed"

And for the first itme in awhile, Zara is caught off guard

As Cricket lowers whatever magic SHE was using to veil

Zara has seen Cricket - but not ACTUALLY spoken to her.

A blink. "..ah-ah.."

"Are you aware a restless one follows along you?" Cricket and she have had some merry chases. perhaps more merry for Zara than cricket

"Aye."

"Mmm cary on then," She says "And for the last time, kindly stay out of the basement area."

Jeff says "She seems friendly"

Hand on her chest, dipping her head. "As you say, Lady Cricket."

"Thank you" She bows back, and they move on. Zara suspects the Akashic will be waiting for her to try again.

It would be terribly boring otherwise

And who is Zara to deny her that?

(End scene..for now)
