Pen wakes up at about four in the afternoon. It takes her a few seconds to remember why she's here, but then she remembers and starts looking for Cindy.

"Mostly Edori live Ysral, not Samaria. We go for Gatherings."

[manofmyword]

"And what's a Gathering?"

[campanas]

"All Edori that be, be one place. And whoever else wants."

[manofmyword]

"Sounds like it could be fun."

[campanas]

"And singing and food and stuff!"

[manofmyword]

"Ooh."

[campanas]

"Yeah. And Daddy see all tribe friends."

[manofmyword]

"I bet he has fun."

[campanas]

"Yeah. He pick me up and carry me and remind me all names and is fun." Now she's sad again. "I miss it probably."

[manofmyword]

"Aww."

What a perfect time for the cookies to be ready!

[campanas]

Pen picks up and eats a hot cookie. It is cheering.

[manofmyword]

Good.

[campanas]

Cookies cookies cookies. She picks them right up off the pan; it doesn't burn her.

[manofmyword]

He's noticed that things don't tend to hurt her. But she did mention she was safe.

[campanas]

Pen stops at four cookies.

"Now what?"

[manofmyword]

"Mm... I think I'll go to sleep," he says.

[campanas]

Pen considers this idea.

Pen yawns and goes to change into her nightgown.

[manofmyword]

It's pajamas today for Cindy. He flops onto a couch again. The couch is kind of small for him, but he seems comfy there.

[campanas]

Pen flops onto the bed, wingtips in opposite corners, hugging a pillow, and sleeps.

[manofmyword]

The next morning, Cindy wakes up before she does. He makes breakfast.

[campanas]

Pen wakes up to kitchen noises. "What is breakfast?" she asks, almost philosophically, stretching as she opens her eyes.

[manofmyword]

"French toast!" he says cheerfully.

[campanas]

"What is?" She heads into the kitchen to get a look at it.

[manofmyword]

He hands her a plate with a French toast on it.

[campanas]

Pen eats some.

"Is interesting," she says. She eats some more. "Crispy soft."
