Eyebrow.

"We're good" Earl says "But ..good you are taking care of your ah.. ah skin"

"Thanks" She beams

"Mayhaps she has a robe?"

"You want me to ask her if she has a robe?" he whispers

"Well, if she could join us. I cannot shout."

"Right." A cough "if you'd like to join us, you know, after you dress and all.. or robe or whatever we would be happy to talk to you. I'm afraid Zara can't..."

"OH." Ginger rises, but expertly cups certain things more for Earl's benefit "Sure sure.. .be a moment..."

And she turns and goes inside.

"So.." earl says "That's Ginger"

"...Satyrs."

"And the third is an eshu?"

"Yup. " he says

"We might not see that one often..."

"that's true. " he ponders

Then he turns "or we might see her now"

The Eshu, in contrast to the satyress, is if anything over dressed. As in, this areai s freaking cold for her.

And she's jogging towards their house

Eyebrow. "At speed."

"I think our neighbors' home might be better than Days of Our Lives..."

"GInger! I'm going to murder you! " The eshu says and then stops and sees Earl and Zara "Ah, pardon my yelling." her accent..from the Carribean?"

"Pray, if you must murder, do lay down some plastic?"

The Eshu grins at that, "Now that be some fine advice. Forgive me, but before I move on, do you two be knowing Gabby..eer Gaveriel?"

"Why?"

"She says you know a dozen languages and everything about victorian age materials. And you happened to be our neighbor so we thought she was pulling our chain. " The Eshu admits

"Ah. I had heard I was mythical."

"And that my younger brother.. ahem.. amused himself at your expense?"

"Mmm childlings," the woman says "The number one reason Eshu travel is to see new places and gain new stories. Number two? escape little brothers"

"Very wise, eshu."

"Please, call me Angeline, or Angel for short" The Eshu says "Nice to meet you. I have to murder a satyr."

"Ah... you said. Whyfore?"

Angeline goes in..and at the door Zara hears the most interesting coversation. Turns out someone has been matchmaking the Eshu. The Eshu is not pleased with the satyress doing this. Even if the guy IS cute

"but he's a hottie... you could eat off those abs"

"Clearly the crunches have also devoured his brain matter, he is an idiot"

"What , you want conversation?"

"It might be nice yes"

"I can get you a SECOND guy for that."

"Death... I am the face of your death"

Earl can't hear all this and looks to Zara curiously

Zara smothers a giggle.

Earl smiles as the expression on his girlfriend's face.

He figures it might be okay.

"The satyress is a yenta."

"But a, well - satyr yenta."

"Why does that sound dangerous?" he says looking a bit spooked

"Oh, it can be."

"Just try not to be offended if she asks if we're open" he sighs

Zara bristles.

"And there we go.." He notices the bristling "I'm sorry. I shouldn't get her in trouble , she can do that herself"

He does look a bit pleased by something. Not so smug that he needs deflating mind you.
