"I... " Morthwyl says "I guess they're okay" For once no Gwydion arrogance

Indeed, childlings are swarming ... no doubt Morthwyl thought the 15 or so toys he made would be enough

Perhaps it is EXACTLY enough...

Grete peeks into the box....

"A mole! Look at it's CLAWS!"

"I wonder if I could get gloves with diggin' claws on it..."

"Maybe!" Irene has latched onto a polka-dotted purple rhino.

Ashlee moved forward, only to see the kitty has already been claimed by Catir. She eyes the bat left. and sighs. Well, bats are ugly too.

Catir squeeze that kitty, then notices the look "Dont' you want the bat, Ashlee?"

"Yeah.. it's my fave" Lie Ashlee says

"oh.. that's.. that's a shame" The little Gwydion girl says as something on her face searches for strength. The strength to bew noble as she should "Because I just remembered, I'm alergic to bluish kittens. I ..donn't suppose you'd do me a favor and trade?"

Ashlee says "YES. I mea.. if you really want to"

"It's a cute bat!"

Catir takes a breath "I really do. Besides, Bats fly. Falcons fly. So.. it's not so different"

And Ashlee beams as she gets her kitty

Caitir spies a smile and a tiny nod from the Baroness.

And Catir smiles back, then pets the bat "i'm gonna call you falconchow" And ggives it a hug anyway

"Hey, Irene" Ryder says "Later when my dinosur turns to coal and oil, your mole can dig it up"

"And Rhonda Rhino can be a bulldozer. Whhrrooommmm."

Ashlee sings "Soft ,kity warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy Kitty sleepy kitty, purr purr purr"

Grete looks at Ashlee. "Did you write that? Are you going to run for Bard?"

"Oh no. I saw it on a TV show. I don't remember which one. "

Speakinng of troubadours.. Hope says "the votes for troubadour are in"

"Oooo!"

"You want to announcei t or shal lI?" She shows the results

"It seems humor wins it! Snitch Hamlin, to the laud!" Sparrow takes up a laurel crown for the pooka!

Snitch bows his head to take the laurel crown "I'd like to dedicate this to my mother Cher Turner Parton!"

And cheers erupt!

Snitch Hamlin takes the laurels for the music contest. While other crafts boom now that they can be in the open. Morthwyl refuses to take commisions, because he's not that good ... but he does hand out copies of the patterns to the local kithain FREELY , just as they were given to him. No doubt local boggans will be improving on them soon

Except Rhonda Rhino.

Indeedly!

(pause... or just play through when you want.. lots of fun is had)
