We're all just waiting on our sleeping bags for Sophie, Fitz, and Stina. I watch Biana play with her new Kelpie. She loves it. Linh knew she would. I bought the Kelpie from Claws, Wings, Horns, and Things, when me and Linh were there to buy food for that murcat. I wasn't sure she'd like it. That's why I made Linh give it to Biana. I hear Fitz growl. I look up. He's clutching Stina's hand. Both their faces are red. Wylie looks up from his scroll. "Wow, what happened to you guys?" Fitz frowned harder. "Sophie's adopted father entered the closet." Marella giggles behind her hand. "You mean Grady?! What's with the formal talk?" Fitz rolls his eyes. "You're all so immature." "And you are?" Marella shoots back. "Guys," Keefe speaks up, "how about the game? Stina, it's your turn." "Do the game without Sophie?" asks Biana, surprised. "It's fine, Stina can't even pick her anyway." Keefe replies. So we start. Stina does a major eye roll, then she picks up the bottle, examines it, puts it down, and spins it. It lands on Dex. He groans loudly. "I- uh- am busy- uh- looking- at the Kelpie! Yeah. Um. I could give it an elixer to make it sparkly. Then it would really be like a sea sparkle!" Biana's eyes light up. She looks so cute. "REALLY?!?! You could do that?! OH YES PLEASE!!" Dex grins. "I could try. But only if I use this time to think about how I could. So sorry Stina. I'm kind of busy now." She rolls her eyes. "Thankfully. But next time THINK OF A BETTER EXCUSE YOU-" "Um," Biana interrupts. "Shouldn't you do less yelling more spinning?" Stina rolls her eyes again. Her eyes will probably roll out one of these days. "I'd prefer if someone chooses me. Or Dex has to go in the closet." He gulps. "No thanks. Someone save me." "I'll save you Dex." Fitz calls out. Stina looks tempted, but then she shakes her head. "Nope. Sorry Fitz. Someone has to make a sacrifice." Fitz pouts. What the heck? That's disgusting. "If I have to go in there I can't make the elixer." says Dex smartly. He knows people love Biana and would do anything to make her happy. He's just waiting for someone to fall into the trap. "Anyone?" asks Stina. "Okay then- Dex c-" Unfortunately that person is me. "I'll do it." I mumble. "What was that? Tam are you volunteering?" Asks stina. Biana looks so hopeful. She really wants a sparkly pet. "Yeah- I'm volunteering. Don't get used to it you troll." Stina glares. "Fine. Come on." I roll my eyes. Remember you're doing this for Biana. I tell myself as I walk into the closet.
