(S9/Brad) Aegis's eyes grow to the size of dinner plates as she stops in her tracks. Partha and then Aurum and Kioshi bump into her, but she doesn't move. Aurum looks up, annoyed.

"Aegis, don't just..." She sees Aegis's expression. "Aegis?" She pokes her. "Aegis? Is something the matter?"

"Rummy..." Aegis lifts her wing and points to Brad's table.

Aurum looks up and follows her sister's wing, her own face scrunched as she tries to focus past the reflection of the window glass. As she does, her own eyes grow every bit as huge as her sister's. She stammers in silent disbelief, her eyebrow twitching as her face grows redder and redder. Aegis visibly shrinks from her sister's palpable, growing outrage.

Suddenly, Aurum bursts forward in a stride. Unceremoniously she bursts through the doors of the parlor, marching straight up to Brad. Her voice is loud, but neither shrill nor breaking.

"WHAT is the MEANING of this...this...HIDEOUS FACADE?!"

Aegis quietly ushers her sisters through the parlor doors and over to the counter. "Peeper, Ki, wait here," she whispers, giving them both a reassuring pat with her wings. She then moves to place herself at a halfway point between them and Aurum, ready to interfere if needed.
