"But you are not contenta - Cabracita is not happy if you are not happy, too. That's because we are amigas."

The fairy chameleon scutters to the purple garb of the sidhe, and appears to be ready to fly/hop to her hair

Her ears twitch as she ponders. "You have to show that you really want to change, and not just with presents." Ellie knows that deep thinking face!

Emmit listens most attentively

You need to have... a party." She nods, solemnly. "La fiesta! And invite everyone who wants to come. And that means si, you can invite the Trolls, La Condesa and our Holger. And the Cabracitas and Cabracitos. And our troubadours, The Seal AND the halcón of Truth. But ALSO, Dama Ash from our school to yours, and Princesca and her amigas. All of her amigas she might want to invite. That's the goats and the burras, but also..." Her eyes flash a bit as she dares. "Her OTHER friend, the one who waves to us in the sun's kisses, and her Boss who marches in the tides, if he wants."

Ellie shrinks a little, frowning.

"Salma, please..."

Salma reaches out and takes Ellie's hand. "Ellie, you are Condesita, si? So if someone wants to make things right, you should let them. But you do not need to make it easy. Things that are worth doing are worth doing right!"

He ponders "Salma, you are a good friend to bargain so hard for your friend. I thannk you. I will tell my Chief what you have said. "

A sniff. "Which is why we do not skip to the end of the story."

that part about the end of the story, actually gets a bit of a chuckle "You remind me of a young lady who also talks about stories and books. She also gives good advice"

"We are very small, Mountain. But this is bigger than us. Which is why it needs to be a BIG Right-making, even if the hurt had been small. Otherwise no one will believe it." She reasons, squeezing Ellie's hand as she explains.

And now Ellie has a Lizard crown

Ramona is purring lazily in the mountain's lap. He seems to know just where to pet a cat

The Mountain nods again, then looks to Ellie "Ellie, I am sorry if I've pestered you too much. But I AM glad we go to talk. I'll try to make things right and... for what it's worth ? I think Ariel is lucky to have a friend who is as concerned for her happiness as you are"

He sets Trouble out of his lap gently, ready to rise.

She jumps back into his lap

He blinks "Now, cat, I have to go. I've ttaken up enough time from these fine young ladies" he takes Ramona out of his lap again and sets her down gently

She goes in again

"Ramona says no."

"Ramona is very wise. She also knows there are tortas. Do Mountains eat tortas?"

"I had one but i was a long time ago." he says eying the cat "I feel like i may need a hostage negotator"

"ramona would go along to tortas."

"Well, if the Toras will no go to the Mountain, the Mountain must go to the tortas" He nods

"I wonder if lizards like tortas?"

"One way to find out" the Grump says

"I will order one for Ramona, and one for the Lizard. And then we will find someone to eat them if they do not want to." Salma eyes gleam - she DOES love Maria's tortas.

"Very Kind"

"Clever burro."

The lizard and Cat might play hide and seek..Ramona sometimes taps the lizard if she sniffs her out, the lizzard hisses...and the cat goes back, but then the game resumes and sometimes the lizard chases the cat
