Bronte observes "A curious thing, a cat"

"Fledges, nu?"

"Feh. Youth is wasted on the young" But Bronte gives a fanged smile when she says it

"You will do alright whilst I am gone, aye? Miss Ivanka will bring thee books."

“Patience is power.
Patience is not an absence of action;
rather it is "timing"
it waits on the right time to act,
for the right principles
and in the right way.”
― Fulton J. Sheen"

And Bronte presses her head against Zara's arm affectionaly

"Perhaps I shall find some books in Nepal, nu?" She scritches Bronte's head.

"Namase Tae" She says

Clearly she's read one with a typo

A soft chuff. "Better brush up on your foreign tongues."

Sheepish Bookwyrm, and a lick for Zara

"Worst case, we shall translate together."

"Reading is fundamental" She nods "Fly free, turtle dove"

Earl coughs from the door way "Love? Is the party over?"

"Aye.. pardon, I had an unexpected guest."

He smiles "I have your suitcase ready to smuggle you in" He says "Comfy old antique. Very comfy"

"I've packed some reading. Here is hoping we have few issues at customs..."

"Nothing like a little veiling if need be. This isn't the sluagh you're looking for. I have some extra dross in the ... err LIGHT Reading?"

She sticks her tongue out at him. "Light enough."

"Zar, love..." Not quite reproving but letting her know he knows to question "Your definition of light and most people's varies"

"At least when it comes to reading"

A sigh. "I will bring..." Nose wrinkle. "The kindle."

"Your sacrifice is appreciated. And no doubt, once we leave, I'll be able to flicker flash you and a whole new trove back saving the trouble" He assures

"True!"

"I take care of my lady" And he kisses her hand

"My artist." Possessive, fond.

"I am, and you are mine. In truth, I'm a bit flattered you want to come along.. you know I sleep better knowing you're watching me." A bit sheepish "Sorry I forgot today would be the 13th," A glance back at the spiders. Some of which are sipping from tea cups and others daintily chewing on popcorn but mostly finsiehd up "But the party was a success I see"

"It was. Perhaps this shall be a turning? Recall our last Friday the Thirteenth..."

"Ah. Perhaps" He nods

When others come by later that eve, the happy couple have already snuck out.

(End Scene)
