Trickery blinked and wobbled. Are you alright? I'm sorry, I'd help you but..." He realised if he bent down Anromeda might fall of and that would not be good. "You trip on something?"

She pushed herself up. "I seem to be mostly fine, except for the dizziness and..." she blinks, looking suddenly confused. "What day is it?"

"The ni..... oh well then," she gave a musical laugh. "My affliction has a simple cure. I simply have been too many days without eating."

Trickery's face wet blank. "Oh... oh that's bad. Okay, I know where I'm taking you. Tory's the person to know. He and Boggart'll set you right. This way." He lead Xiao stright right and into a large grove of stunted trees.

She walked with him, chuckling lightly. "Ah, it is not that bad, the last food I ate, it was good enough for a year's worth. A musician over in Dream valley was experimenting with flavor accompaniment. I was fortunate enough to attend the show. We were provided with a substantive tray, and when signaled, were to eat certain foods. the long low bass notes to a tender steak, cotton candy to the flute, though my faviorate was the percussion chocolate poprocks..."

"Oh... Well, here we are," he said with relief. "Tory! We have a patient!"
Heketoro peered around the corner at the newcomers."Eh? Trickery? Eh? Broken bones? No. Rash? Maybe? Terminal illness?"
Trickery laughed stiffly. "No. This is Xiao."
"New edition to the herd?" He ased, stepping arond into full view.
"No, I found her up the mountain. She hasn't eaten in a while."
"Oooooh!" said Heketoro happily. "That's the illness we like! Sit, sit, young lady and let us feed you," he said cheerfully. "Boggart! What've we got that's fresh?"
A reedy voice emerged from the trees; "Carrots are fresh... stir fry, father? Also... fresh fish..."
"No potatoes?"
"No, Father."
"Ah... Pity. But it will do!" He patted Xiao's shoulder. "Be ready in a tic, dear." He disappered into the trees.
Trickery laughed stiffly again. "He's a bit... eccentric."

She chuckled lightly. "The best ones always are. You will stay and eat with me, yes, you two?"
Andromeda puts on her best sulk, and waits for trickery to say good bye to the crazy lady.

"The voice sounds delightful. What sort of shock are we talking about. Certainly he cannot be more handsome then you, though that would be a shock, alright."

The owner of the reedy voice emerged then with drinks. He looked... emaciated with visible ribs. Enjoy..." he said.
Trickery nodded and sipped from his glass. "Thankyou Boggart."

"My thanks to you, good sir. Will you join us as well? You look as though you need to eat more then I do."

Boggart frowned and Trickery bowed his head and groaned. "No." Said Boggart shortly. He turned tail and left.
Trickery gripped the glass tightly. "Ohhhh."

"Did I say something unpleasant?" She asked, concerned.

Trickery looked at Xiao like she was insane. "Yes! Of course that was unpleasant! He and his father are helping you and then you tell him he should eat? He needs to eat?" His eyes were narrowed as he tried to explain it. He shook his head, defeated. "I'll sit with you until you finish, then I'm marching you off our land. Boggart never hurt a soul. He won't tell anyone, which is more than you deserve, but I don't like how you treat people, and I won't let you treat my family like this." He shook his head again and drank the rest of his drink.
