"Maybe I should diet after this." Nom nom.
--
"Why not? It's not as if I'm going anywhere for a while. And we aren't really so different. I'm a curious fellow, too."
--
Goodness!
--
"Well, that's good."

"How so?"

Making out!

"Right. It wasn't so bad."

"But if I get fat, you'll dump me." Mock pout!
--
He laughs. "What? Aren't you curious? Isn't that why you became a scientist? That's why a lot of people do it, I think."
--
And in public, too!
--
"Are you going back there after this?"

"Suuure sure." Munch munch.

"Explain what?"

".. Is it okay to do this in his dining room?"

"Oh. Where you headed, then?"

"I won't."
---
"If you're not going to answer my questions then go away. I'm busy."
---
"Why not?"
---
"Wherever Angie goes, I guess."

"Then you're sweet." she leans to kiss his cheek.
--
"I'll answer your questionsss. I don't keep people in dark basements and do weird things to them, but I do like to meet a variety of.. mm.. species."
--
"Well.. it's a dining room. And it's Matthew's."
--
"How long will you be working for her?"

"Do you want to shop around some more today?"
--
"All sorts, though I admit I haven't met a djinn until recently."
--
He laughs. "What does syrup have to do with anything?"
--
"Just gooo with the flooow."
A horse is trotting up to the house. .. And there's a guy on it! He has a big bag over his shoulder.

"If you'd like to."
---
"They are very rare. As is.. whatever you are."

"We can figure something out."

"Right." He looks up at this approaching stranger.

"I doubt there's anything interesting in this whole town."
--
"You haven't thought of a name yet?" Pout.
--
He snorts. "Sounds messy."
--
The red-headed stranger is busy looking through a stack of letters. He nearly walks past them. "Mornin', Jed. Mail for you." He thrusts out a handful of letters.
"Thank you." Jed smiles and reaches for them.

"It is very small."
---
"The djinn called you a crow. Why?"
---
"Aw, you're no fun." She pouts.

Stephen sits there looking confused.

"I guess I'll wait until we're in a big city again."
--
"That's what we call ourselves."
--
"I didn't say we couldn't use it. I just said it would be messy." He sticks his tongue out.
--
The stranger tips his hat, steers the horse around, and trots back down the road.
Jed looks through the letters.

"Okay."

"Why?"

She grins. "There we go." She reaches to pull his shirt off.

"Anything interesting there?"
