"Yes, it is for the baby..err babies" He says "But they won't be born for sometime. So... it is helping May. She was having nightmares. You see it helps keep dark dreams at bay, but only for sons of adam and daughters of eve"

Her forehead furrows.

Vali tilts his head "And... when did these nightmares start?"

"I don't remember ,only been a few nights" Jonas shrugs

Vali inquires "Did it happen after you gave the item away?"

"Well, yes, but that's surely concidence" Jonas reasons "See the dream catcher wouldn't help me directly anyway"

“Coincidence is a funny thing.”

Frowning thoughtfully.

"Not sure it is... hold on. give me that hand i doodled on" Vali says

Jonas wrinkles his brow but offers it

Piper watches quietly.

Vali says "Piper, sing a song verse with the word hand in it"

Then considers, and sings a snippet from a Jewel song…

“My hands are small, I know,
But they're not yours- they are my own
But they're not yours- they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken…”

She trails off.

The magic flows... and Vali frowns "it's getting away.. ah there we go " He pulls his hand back "Well, shit."

Jonas blinks "What do you mean 'well shit'"

“Was that a bad choice? I can try again…”

"Not you, Piper. Actually this wouldn't have worked without you. Take al ook at Jonas 'hand"

She blinks, uncertain, but peers over.

Where there were magic marker symbols of occult type before, now there is only one word: INGRATE

Piper shrinks back a little. “What dues it mean?”

"Noun, an ungrateful person, or one who rewards favors with enmity or treachery" Jonas starts to say then blinks "Ah sorry"

Vali arches a brow at him, then looks at Piper "I have only conjectures right now. Give me more time to look into it?"

“I have an idea and i I don’t like it one bit.”

"Let's hear it" Vali says

Jonas looks curous
