"Come in?" Lindsey gestures inside.
---
"Obligation."
---
"I don't knoow." He wrinkles his nose. "Maybe Aster?"
---
She turns her head to watch Horace. "I don't think I can follow you right now."

"Thank you." He enters.
--
"That's sort of a horrible reason to marry."
--
"We can look for her. It'll be more fun than sitting in a closet." She smiles.
--
He soon returns with a piece of paper clasped in his beak. He lands on the bed and drags it towards her face. It says 'DOCTOR?'.

Lindsey shuts the door and turns to look at Nat. "How can I help you?"
---
"Sparrow left and my family was pressuring me."
---
"Okaay." He scurries to his feet.
---
She smiles ruefully. "For a wolf bite and broken fingers caused by a crazed djinn?"

"Your master wants his eye." He wrinkles his nose at his own feet.
--
He shakes his head and sips his coffee.
--
She heads back downstairs.
--
He drops the paper and tilts his head.

"Now?"
---
"I was depressed and agreed to let them arrange it."
---
Edan follows.
---
"I'm also an elemental. I'd likely end up in jail or a lab."

"Apparently so. What do you think about it?" He looks up.
--
"Mm."
--
"Shyyy. Have you seen your sister?"
Shy looks up from cleaning. "Mmmmm. She was just outside earlier."
--
This makes Horace cackle.

"I don't know. Part of me hopes it kills him." He searches under the bed.
---
"So the whole thing was doomed from the start."
---
Edan grins at Shy.
---
"Then again I'm not much of an elemental right now." She presses her hand against the cloth on her head.

"Byron? Why?"
--
"Why don't you try a matchmaking service? They have those."
--
"Thanks." She smiles and heads out onto the porch.
Shy glances at Edan and pales. She starts cleaning!
--
He flaps away again... and soon returns! 'NEED HELP?'

"So I could be free of him." He pulls a small box out from under the bed.
---
"Eeeh."
---
Edan follows Angie!
Richard notices this and follows with a frown. "What's going on? Why is he here?"
---
"Yes, but what can you do?"

Nat blinks. "What would you do if that happened?"
--
"Lots of girls want a nice rich boy."
--
"Edan is going on a date, too."
Aster is on the porch! She has been stacking firewood and is now chilling on a wooden bench. She looks up as they exit.
--
Another short trip! 'WHAT DO YOU NEED?'

"I'd serve Mistress Cervelli."
---
"No, lots of girls want the money."
---
Richard frowns more. "What?"
Edan grins at Aster. "Hello!"
---
"Food. Cold compresses. The bandages cleaned and changed."

"Is she better?"
--
"Pretend you don't have any."
--
Angie smiles. "Hey, Aster. Are you busy?"
She waves at Edan, then shakes her head. "Not anymore. What's up?"
--
Horace blinks.

"Yes."
---
"And when they discover I'm lying?"
---
"Would yooou like to come to the hot springs?" Edan bats his eyes.
Richard thinks this is so wrong.
----
Another rueful smile. "I'll get by."

"Really? How so?"
--
"They'll be very happy!"
--
Angie snorts. "Edan wants to go, but he doesn't have anyone to go with."
"To the hot springs?" She thinks. "Sure. I could use a soak."
--
He flaps away!

"She never accused me of murder." Lindsey heads out into the hall.
---
Matthew snorts.
---
"Hooray!" Edan claps.
Richard wrinkles his nose.
---
Isabella shuts her eyes.
