Stephen returns with a glass of water.
Hilda leans against a table and watches.
---
"Nope."
---
"Is there any candy?"

She reaches for it.
--
"Hmmm." Violet taps her chin.
"It is a mystery." Chomp.
--
"I'm not allowed candy at home." Roddie pouts.

"That it is."

"That is horrible."

Angie unceremoniously tosses the contents of the glass onto Richard's face.
--
"You've really never figured it out?" She looks at Matthew.
--
"It is." He nods.

Richard gasps and coughs.
---
He shakes his head. "It's just how she is."
---
"I will diiie without candy."

"Awake now?"
--
"I still say she's probably sick." She sips her juice.
Russ smiles.
--
"Will you?" Big yellow eyes.

He pushes himself partway up with an arm and blinks. "What.. where..."
---
"No doctor has ever spotted anything."
---
"Maybe!"

"You're sleeping under a table at a bar. Your boss fetched me." She puts her hands on her hips.
--
"Maybe she hasn't been to the right doctor." She tries to pull off a wise expression.
--
"There is a village not far from here. You could go and get some."

"I... oh." He winces and crawls out from under the table.
---
"What, you have some expert doctor?"
---
"How far is not far?"

She steps back and watches him.
--
"No. It was just a thought." Hmph.
Russ chews thoughtfully.
--
"Mmmmm..." He looks up at the ceiling as he thinks about this. "It doesn't take very long. You have to cross the stream, then there's a big clearing. The road is kind of hard to see sometimes."
List clears his throat. "..About five miles."

"I'm sorry." He spots Stephen as he wobbles to a standing position. He glares at the Stephen.
---
"I think she's fine."
---
"Too far! I would surely perish along the way."

"What are you glaring at him for? Cut that out." She hands the empty glass back to Stephen.
--
"If you say so." Sip!
"Has everything been okay here?"
--
"You're leaving soon anyways, right? Won't you be fine?" Roddie studies his face.

Stephen goes to put the cup in a sink.
Hilda gestures to the door. "Please get him out of here. I would like to get some rest before we open again. And remember, I don't want him here unless he has calmed down.
Richard glowers at Hilda. "I can still play."
----
"Yep."
---
He shrugs and avoids eye contact. "We'll see."

"You can play once you're better. Come on." She turns to go.
--
"Yeah, Matthew's been really nice, too."
"Has he?" Russ peeks over his mug at Matthew.
--
"Do you think my father is a bad man?"

Hilda frowns at him. "Go."
He glares and follows her out. Stephen comes as well.
---
"We've been having a grand time."
---
He blinks at looks at Roddie. "Hmm?"
