"I know."

"Well, they like her... or.. did. Is the crowd getting thinner"

Salma peeks out. “No more flags?”

"Does this mean we've entered the barony?"

Jessica takes their bearings, looking around.

And yes, they have entered the Barony of the Sunkissed waves. There are still folks but they seem more curious than enthused

"Yes, we're in the Barony." Jessica actually lifts a hand to acknowledge the curious.

Ellie still gives them smiles and waves!

And they wave back, some. A few gaze at Jessica with nervousness.

And one shadowy fellow glares with hatred at Ellie before slipping away from the crowd

Ellie tries to watch him.

She feels her sword heat lightlyagainst her thigh, then cool

Ariel says "Is everything okay?"

"It's.. okay..."

“Si?” A question to her friends.

Ariel says "Would it help if I sang to the crowds?"

“It helps when you sing to me.” Salma smiles.

"I like when you sing."

Ariel gets up and starts to sing! "Ow

Mm, yeah
I used to think maybe you loved me, now, baby, I'm sure
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around!" tapping and dancing

"I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
And don't it feel good
Hey, all right now
And don't it feel good
Hey, yeah!"

Ellie claps on the beat!

Folks watching smkile at this display. Some of the childlings begin to clap and dance too..

"I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true
And I don't want to spend my whole life just a-waiting for you
Now, I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day, no, no, no
I said, baby, I just want you back, and I want you to stay

Oh, yeah, now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
And don't it feel good
Hey, all right now
And don't it feel good
Yeah, oh, yeah, now
And don't it feel good"

"Hey yeah!"

“It feels okay...” Salma grins.

"Walking on sunshine
Walking on sunshine

I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel the love, I feel the love that's really real
I'm on sunshine, baby, oh
Oh, yeah, I'm on sunshine, baby

Oh, I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa
And don't it feel good" A bump of Salma!
"Hey, all right now
And don't it feel good" By now the crowds are really into it. And banners are waving with enthusiasm!

Ellie applauds her friend!

Salma watches the crowds and waves her little flag at them.

Holger gets carried away and picks up Salma and waves her as she waves her little flag!

Not too far to the side mind you, mostly up and then slight tilts. But she might be top of the world

Ariel laughs

She is startled, but eventually laughs, asking him in Spanish if this is how it seeks to be tall!

"Si, La Montana!" He says but blushes. HOwever, now he has to take turns letting every girl up if the want

"Ooo, si! Salma, what's next?"

(Pause)

(Salma looks up from where she was rapidly writing...)
