"Since Funkyhair is awake, he needs a caretaker. Someone with a motherly touch. Who makes delicious Mallowmelt, lives in a place with unlimited access to support animals . . ."

"Ro, where are you going with this?"

"Edaline. Keefe needs Edaline." Elwin clapped, glad to have Keefe off his hands.

"Perfect. I'll give her a ring on the ol' imparter, and I'm rid of his demands." Ro smiled, cleaning her ice blue claws with a dagger.

Havenfield.

"Sophie! Sit down, have a custardburst." Sophie warily popped one in her mouth, getting the odd feeling bribery was in the air. She peeked at a disgruntled Grady, who was currently digging into his third dish of Mallowmelt. Yep. She was definitely being bribed.

"Sho. Whu ou u ant o ell me." Which roughly translates to: So. What do you want to tell me?

"Elwin needs a break. He's been working full-time taking care of Keefe. So, Keefe is going to stay here for a while." Sophie stared at her adoptive mother. 

"How long is 'a while?'" Edaline fidgeted with her imparter.

"Two months." Grady's head snapped up from his dessert.

"Eda, I was under the impression That Boy would be staying here for two days." 

"Oops! Grady, it'll be nice having someone who'll let us take care of them." It was Grady's turn to stare.

"Let you. I'm not going anywhere near him, and he knows it." Sophie decided to prevent a possible argument, and provide her input.

"Where is he going to sleep?"

"The extra room." Oh. Jolie's room. "I've already prepared the space." Beaming, Edaline walked over to the door with the second tray of custardbursts. Telekinesis aided the woman in swinging the front door open to reveal a grinning ogre who proceeded to stuff them all in her mouth.

"Hey, leave some for me!"
