"Ok." A resigned look to Ash.

"Truly, prejudice has invaded this place" A tisk from Ahpuch

Ash mutters to Jessica "Another time. We do have a right to limit hours on it"

"Yes." She rubs the base of her horns "Later." agreeing.

Ariel puts the batteries in the controller and glares over her shoulder

"Good luck." Jessica bids Ash, and she goes to get ready for patrol.

Ash mutters "Gee, thanks.."

Salma pats Ariel on the shoulder. "She worries too much, that one. It is a very shiny gift. I am glad you are happy."

Salma is very gracious, even if the book she picked out for Ariel for her birthday still hasn't been read. Not everyone understands.

"You wanted it gone, Salma" Oh she's still in a bristly mood. SOmething maybe bothering her

A gasp. "I never." A frown, and a sigh. So misunderstood.

"Where is Princesca?" Ellie often understands when no one else does.

"Who knows" Ariel shrugs "probably with Vaeltilde or something"

"Oh." She sits crosslegged by Ariel. "Do you miss the Farm, mi amiga?" She asks, quietly.

"If I had family, I would miss them too, I think, maybe."

A quieter voice "Hearth Agnes may have been mean but she died and I was angry at her"

"And now it's all changing... and I don't know them like I did" she starts up the game, seeking escape

"And when I get something from my family that shows they feel bad wehen they miss me... someone tries to take it away" A mutter

"Oh." Her ears droop a bit. "I do not think la Condesa meant to make you feel bad. I am... 85% certain, you see. That is very much."

"I know.. and I yelled at her. ANd now she's on patrol and all closed up and will never talk to me again because that's what's happen when she tries to look out for you and you yell at her she won't open up to you again forever"

Holger snorts "She would not. She is a fine Countess. A good person. ANd a troll. SHe knows you are a satyr given to the angry fits and the hoof stamps"

SLOWLY Ariel turns, her eyes narrow "You're lucky Salma wants you intact"

"Que?" Confusion on Holger's face

Did he say something wrong?

Salma winces.
