Lily says "Connor and I play hide seek and such...but I haven't seen him, and I worry some old lady has Buddy again but maybe this one isn't nice?"

Sylvi frowns. "Yeah, that would be... " she shakes her head. "I'm glad you came looking. I mean, he might just be at the Farm...?"

"He's not here" Worried sound from Jack.

Lily frowns "Unacceptable." Then she looks at Sylvi "Maybe. But I cannot go to the farm. Not yet."

"No, but I can. I'll check if he's there. You two stay here. I know my Mom's around if you need her, and I bet the Chieftain will be back from patrol soon, so you should totally tell her about Connor." She's putting her sneakers on.

Lily curtseys "Thank you, Miss Sylvi. You are ever so kind"

"No problem. I'll be back soon. Don't worry." And she heads out.

Lily looks at Jack "did you have to yell?"

"Did you have to scare?" He counters.

"Huff" She huffs
