The children continue to divide the treasure. "I'm sorry, lady Aabi, but this will not do," Aurum says. "We have work we have to do, and now we have less time in which to do it."

"Admittedly,  this would be great to have," Lucida says, "But we haven't earned it.  And besides,  it's going to be difficult enough to explain to Papa and Mama why the wagon was destroyed.  We don't need to explain away a hoard of treasure, too."

Ferra signs something,  and Lucida shakes her head. "I don't know, Fer.  Maybe we can buy one in town. Aegis,  can you check it out?"

"Sure, but I don't think anyone's still open," she says, heading out the door. "But I'll see."

"There.  That is the last of it," Aurum says. "We can bring it by layer, lady Aabi.   For now, please excuse us.  We have to prepare things for when our parents arrive home, and we have little time." She seems unusually blunt.
