"Uh. Marigold?" She looks at the boggan.

Doggie bliss!

"Yes, dear? Of course. They can take my car, or I can give a ride, or whatever you so desire. Will you go back with them? We can help explain to your Mother, dear."

"I mean, maybe they could stay the night? It's late."

Janice looks pained, longing at the same time as wanting to draw away.

"I can set up a room for your step mom and brother in the Azure suite?"

"Greg is away on business for a few days." She says. "If you think it best..." Looking again to Katrina as her advocate in this unfamiliar Hold.

"I do not wish for Frankie to be beholden..."

"No, it's on me. Right?" A look at Gwen and Marigold. "This is a favor for me?"

"It is our pleasure to offer hospitality. My daughter is an expert on the subject!" Marigold assures.

"We have to look out for our fledges" A nod in support of Thistle

"I'll get the room freshened!" Marigold bustles off.

Bluebell approaches, and gives a mischievous grin.

"If the lad is to stay, and forget ere the morrow, we must make the best of it, no? A TRUE show?" She wiggles her fingers in the air expressively.

"Yes? Are we allowed?"

"Allowed to do what? Do I get to paint my face like you? And WOW your friend is big!" Frankie asks, though he had his hands burried in petting Muppet's tummy.

Bluebell blinks, her nose twitches, innocently.

"I'm a troll. We're all big. "She says

"Then where's your HAIR?!" Frankie squeaks! "Everyone knows that Trolls have Magical Hair, and like to SING."

Rainbow spirals and pink cheeks. "Well, okay. Yeah, I could paint your face, if you wanted. So we could match."

Bluebell claps in delight! She got away with it!

"I play the flute some" She says

"ARE YOU IN A BAND?!"

"Nope, but I am a knight."

Janice has sat back a bit, watching Frankie's delight with a small smile.

"Chime!"

Wudlig comes in "Solar cells reatttached... now, about my car?"

"Uh oh" Gwen hides behind her mom. Well, tries to

Schiaparelli chooses to land on Janice's shoulder, while Citrine and Ochre are drawn to Frankie.

Marigold plants her hands on her hips. "Wudlig, we were required to borrow your vehicle. BLUEBELL-

The pooka was trying to sneak out the back, and turns to give Wudlig a winning smile,

"...will have it washed, buffed and returned with a full tank of... whatever it is that it runs on. Please forgive the necessity."

Wudlig is steaming, but no one tangles with Marigold "Well... she better! So... did we save whoever, cattch the baddies? "

Bluebell looks at least slightly chastised.

Gwen says "thistle saveed Frankie, but your car made it possible, Journeyman"

"It's furkin' sweet, thanks for lending it to us!"

"We wouldn't have made it in time, otherwise."

"It is furkin sweet, isn'tt it?" Wudlig puffs up

"Though that veil pedal has a funky wiggle. It's gonna snap on you..."

"Ah, I got spares..." He shrugs "Sure, you ah, didn't run into the heroine glitch did you? "

"Heroine glitch?"

Ochre pulls one of Frankie's curls. SPROING.

...and this attracts over Pthalo and Cadmium. Chime?

Laughter! Muppet wriggles on the floor! Even Janice holds out a hand and allow a Never to land there - it's the teal one.. and explores her manicured nails.

"I had help building that thing.. I blame the glitch on a boggan..." He says "See, if you have the veil up, but pass by a heroine , one with a heart of sorrow and sacrifice and quiet courage, well, the veil may not work on here and the vehicle might try to pull over for her so you can help her."

"...Like Cinderella?"

"No! Like Mirabel!" Frankie tugs at Thistle's hand.

Thistle smiles as the Neverlanders play with her family.

"And Luisa, and, um. Um. The other one, with the flowers."

"But she wasn't QUIET."

"Isabela. With the colors."

"Mirabel was LOUD. Louisa was the quiet one."

"Yeah, she was. Like Gwen."

"Until she started singing. DO YOU HAVE FLYING UNICORN DONKEYS WITH GLITTER?"
