"Me, I love getting out of here before dawn. Here, take Hannah's things and leave me alone, I have work for the apprentices to do. And keep your weird friends out of here. And don't give anyone that tea before you check with me, verschtay?"

"Yes, uncle. And yes. And yes." She collects the basket. "See you."

"Feh."

"Feh, feathers." A peck on his cheek before she heads out.
