"Well, first I'm supposed to ask your dad permission to . . ." Glitch blanked. "It's a 'c' word. Commission? Contact? Cordial?"

"Court?" She grinned, "You want to court me?"

"Court! That's the word!" Glitch bounced slightly and kissed Nienna lightly on the cheek. "Thank you! First I have to go to your dad and ask permission to court you. Then we go to see a movie or have dinner. Or maybe a picnic. Or, if you would rather, we could free some cruelly-treated Animals from their oppressors."

Nienna giggled, "If you're sure you want to ask my father, but I think you would be better off just not asking him at all. And I'd like to do any of those things."

Glitch's face fell. "You don't think he'd like me? Usually people like me all right. They might think I'm an idiot, but that has nothing to do with likability, Azkadellia says."

"I think he'd like you if you weren't going to ask to court me. But we can go talk to him. He'd appreciate the thought, I'm sure."

"He won't like that I like you? Why? It is because I'm a scarecrow? I assure you, that's only because Mom had to save Dad from the torture . . ."

"It has nothing to do with what you are. It has everything to do with how much my father loves his children. Like how your mother would think I wasn't good enough for you."

"Actually, I think she'd just be glad I would be out of the house more often . . ."

"Then you think he'll approve of me?" Glitch asked, still nervous. After all, he'd never asked permission to curtsy anyone before. That wasn't right. Court. Court. Court. That was the word. Court.

"I think my father will like you just fine. Just stick close to me and try to stare at his wings."

"Hey, my brother in law has wings!" Glitch said. "I call him Mr. Fancy Wings. Mostly cause of how he talks to my sister, though."

Nienna frowned, "Maybe you should let me introduce you first, then you ask him about the courting thing and I'll go back to talking?"
