"Could you call me Emmy while we're here?" Marion Marion asks " I liked it. And... there are SO many Marions at the Farm" She grins at the seal

"Sure, like I'm Ellie with friends, but Eleanor at court "

"Well botth are pretty names " "emmy' Says

"though I probably won't be going to Court. Kinain and all"

Salma lifts an ear a bit at this, but doesn't interrupt.

Holger has made not a castle, but a sand watch tower, to guard the castles of others

"We don't have court very very often. It's kind of boring, most of the time."

"Jessica handles a lot of stuff for grown ups" A nod

that from Ariel

"She does. But we could have a kinain day. Kinain need help, too."

"Our Princesca holds court with us all the time. It's wherever she is." A fond smile over at Ellie.

"Speaking of which, can we knight Sir Pinchito? he has bravely defended the sand library..."

"Maybe you should just elect him sheriff? " ANother Debuke suggests

"He might be a Sand Bandito, but a good one, like Diego or Mister Duff."

Wondering a bit about why they haven't seen the colorful troll recently.

"I kind of miss Mister Duff." Ariel sighs "He made the best face painter"

Siiiiigh.

"Mister Duff sounds nice" One girl observes

"Si, he has the most colorful tatuajes..." She gestures at her own bare arms. "But he will paint for us when there is a festival."

"Maybe we could visit him sometime if he wont' come to us?" Ariel says

"We can bring our markers! And churros. Everyone likes churros."

"How could you not like churros?"

And then one of the Debukes says it, that horrid question that makes one wonder if they live in a third world freehold despite the size of the bale

"What's a churro?"

Ariel facepalms "So embarrassing"

Salma gasps. "Tragedia!"

"Churros are MAGIC."

Coy sighs "I suppose I'll call Rosa and Marie and make sure they have some ready to go when my kinfolk here return"

"You've been holding out on us, Uncle Coy?" One boy eyes The thane

"He has," Ariel sighs "If you do not know of Churros. He totally has"

Constance covers a smile

"They are crunchy and covered in cinnamon and sugar..."

"I like Cinnoman"

"I like sugar"

there seems to be a consensus building

"You wouldn't like them. They are fried." Salma demures.

LOTS Of brows ,directed towards Coy

"Oh for the love of Odin"

He sighs "Fine fine... a double helping. I am sure Hearth Agnes knows how to make them if you ask her by the way"

SOme nods

"The last churro is for the burro!"

"...it's the rule."

They nod, trolls, in large (no pun intended), respect such customs

Holger nods "An important rule. "

Salma blushes a little at that, but not enough so that she would deny such an important rule.

"Your Senora Agnes might make many things, but Churros are the blood of la Mexicana and it will never be AS good, not the SAME. For one...." She leans in, conspiratorially, "I have heard that gringos even use a different CINNAMON."

"Maybe Rosalita could make the piggy cookies, too?"

Gasps.

"Darn Gringos" One very blonde boy says

Ariel whispers to Salma "I'll tell him later"
