"I heard you knew what you were doing."
"Not from me, I swear."

She sits up and sticks her nose in the air. "I should probably be heading inside."

"Hello, sir."

"I was being shot at and I turned and bit the first person who grabbed me."
--
"Waaait. Don't go in there." He pouts.

"So you don't care who you do this to."
Stephen lowers his voice. "Martha, please. I can't lose this job."

"But if I don't I will burn."
---
Lindsey pokes at him. "Sir?"

"Can't we sit in the shade?"

Stephen makes a face then looks at the ground. "...Right. Let's just go have lunch, okay?"
Martha froowns. "You're lying to me again, Stevie."
---
She thinks then siighs. "Okay." She grabs her towel and drags it into the shade.
---
"I will be right back, sir." He leaves.

"Aw, you don't like spending time with me." He crawls over.

Shivery grumbly.

"Okay, I didn't know what would happen, but it's too late now. And they're okay with you visiting, and the pay is better. That's good, right?"
"And what about our plans to have children? What about that?"
---
"Not when you're picking on me. Hmph."
---
And Lindsey returns! He has soup, water, and a blankey! Unfortunatly, he also has a Byron. Lindsey remains near the door while Byron comes in, smirking. "Good morning, crow."

Angie stares at Stephen.
--
"I wasn't picking on you."

Nat grumblessss. He doesn't bother trying to separate his face and the ground.

"..I don't know. I haven't asked about that."
Martha frowns at Angie. "Well?"
---
"You weeere."
---
"I'm so glad to hear about the results of this little test. You've earned more time with the djinn. Would you like to have that now?"

"I would advise you to wait." Hmph.
--
"Nuh uh."

He tries rolling over but doesn't really get anywhere. He grumbles weird things at Byron.

Stephen shifts self consciously. "For what?"
---
"Were too."

Byron plants a foot on Nat and leans down. "What was that? I can't quite hear you."

"For a cure."

"I was kidding around. It's different."

He lays still and sighs deeply.

Now it's Martha's turn to look uncertain. "A cure? The others I talked to didn't act like there was one."
---
"Hmmm." She pouts.
---
"Listen closely, crow. You aren't my equal. I won't relax around you, I won't follow any order of yours, and I won't be made a fool of by you. You will not take advantage of me. I hope I have made that clear."

"I knew a guy who had the curse. Now he doesn't."

"What's that look for?"

He clenches his trembling hands into fists.
