That last one is particularly fitting.

heh

well, she might go to the dreaming, too

(LIBRARY!)

Hey, August was going to go with her.....

oh, point

well, she's a sluagh

she could just go missing

True. Although that might send Earl and August drinking together.

heheheheh

see, if she got in enough trouble, that'd be a distraction for the boys!

True!

Actually, that is one real way I can see August focusing on something that isn't an overdue Coradel.

Sooooo

Where can we put Z for a few weeks?

She goes to the Poconos, right?

usually

Family!

Yup

the usual it is

so.... August is gonna fret about Cora

And any of those situations will work for why August can't reach her.

He will, yes.

Frank's fine with Brekke going out to the camping thing with the Y; she's done that for years.

I think Dagmar will have fun

I'm sure of it!

And hey! No Daddy contact for Zara.

Well, that's nothing new

It's oddly normalized... every few months, horrific gift.

She doesn't keep them. She knows where they are buried.

...unless someone dug up the collar, its been there a while, she hasn't checked

I would think it's still there.

likely

so. Dross reports. Poconos. Camping.

Sounds squared away.

yup

I feel Bird gets the short end of the stick there

Yeah, County tithe-time doesn't sound like -fun-....

But it absolutely sounds like something the dutiful, serious Liam would buckle down and do while the Fiona flutters off on a love-quest

Yes, yes it does.

Well, she has a puppy

that helps

heh. Feel free to have Ladybird follow AUg around, tail thumping, if he seems sad

I'm not sure Coradel thought this all through....

Nope. Aug is very insecure.

Yes, he is... .but in this case, she's said she'll be back by his birthday. She won't be.

Deryn warned her

*nod* Yep.

Fiona

YEP.
