Regina looks over. "Rhun, dear, are you feeling all right?  Would you like to get some air for a bit, have a little girl talk?"

I lean over, paralleling my wife. "What she actually means is, "hey Rhun, you're drunk. Stop drinking.' Believe me, I know her code language. "

Regina turns in a huff. "It didn't work for you earlier! "

"No, but that's because I'm going to get drunk again."

(Meanwhile, at the estate)

The four girls look at the myserious note. They say nothing.

"What exactly can that guy do?  Is he omnipresent or something?" Lucida mumbles.

"If he was, he'd have just placed the bugs wherever he wanted and we wouldn't have known," Aurum says. "Regardless, it's a good idea.   Ferra, how quickly can you build a wagon again?"

Ferra signs something,  a worried look on her face.

"Hmm, she's right," Aurum says. "Perhaps we could ask the Mallorys for some?  They still owe us from the plows Ferra fixed."

"Or we could go into the glen and ask Palatea for some wood," Aegis ventures.

"Ask a Dryad if we can chop down some trees to make wood for a wagon?  Are you nuts??"  Lucida says.

"No, she may be on to something," Aurum says. "Remember last year when she helped us mend the east wall after the washout?  She manipulated a tree then."

"Yeah, but that was a tree.  She just grew it in place to keep the stone wall from coming down," Lucida says. The four children sit in silence.

"Then maybe she's good enough to grow us wagon parts," Aegis shrugs. The other three slowly turn to her, eyes wide.

Aurum beams." Aegis,  you're a wonder!"

"Aegis,  that's brilliant!" Lucida throws her arms around the Harpy Golem. "Let's get going!  Ferra and I will go find her.  We'll bring the parts back here.  Get the tools ready!"

Lucida and Ferra run off to the east glen...
