And we were worried the drama would be gone without paler

Ha

Now BOTH Earl and August are mad at her.

Well, in his defense he has a right to be angry at the situation. She has put him in a no win scenerio

They both jumped to "Why don't you trust me? How could you not trust me?"

They did.

Theyr'e both young.

So, in Zara's defense - she's feeling cornered and vulnerable and her anxieties were met with "But we'd never hurt you!"

Which isn't what she said

Sluagh do not LIKE surprises.

yeeeeup

If they are doing their job then they already know what’s going on :D

Yup

And currently, she doesn't

But everyone else is dancing around all smug with their secret and it’s ABOUT HER and asaauuuuuuuggghhh

I’m upset FOR Zara :D

thank you for understanding, Rae

What Earl needs is sluagh input, but unless he thinks of going to his dad about this...

So being told she hurt THEM by being hurt and sharing her anxiety...

Yeah. Hiding and hissing.

Not sure that's what he told her. Though I see how she could see it that way

It’s possible Zara’s friends overlook her core
Sloo-ness because she’s so gregarious. “I mean, sure sluagh wouldn’t like that, but I figured YOU would.... oh.”

Mmm wow. Way to make them sound racist 😉

Hahah oh nooo

It’s cool, I have a sluagh friend

Well, Zara doesn't get a lot of sluagh time

More high tea is planned in the new house, gbut that's months away

I want high tea! Not sluagh high tea though

Please fresh cream and delicious pastries

There's a proper tea house near me

Ooooo

You want the english boggans down the street

the very quaint little victorian, lace curtains, rose garden...

Yes, they have tea, elevenses, luncheon, snack time, 3rd and 4th brunch...

heh

I actually saw a paper on how Hobbits might be seen as the living locusts of Middle Earth and no wonder other peoples didn't like them. 🙂

It’s a shame Connor didn’t end up with one of those boggans in his early adventures. He would be a literal Roly Poly Puppy

awww

Hm.

Ok, so Vashti is in on it. Earl, August, the Uncles, her parents...

A few boggans

But they seem to know only trhe basics

Except Delores! Clearly!

She knows much!

Well, Zara wouldn't go to Delores

She might just stay in the grotto.

Earl so wants to keep looking, but she told him to go away.

And he's trying to respect her space

but arggh.
