Liliedhe waves goodbye to Yukiko, almost sorry to see the angel go.
She returns to the pool room.
"Hey Kampa. What did you think of her?" she asks, kneeling by the pool.
Kampa swims up and rests her elbows on the pool wall, as she had done earlier with Yukiko.
"I dunno." says kampa, thoughtfully, "She was nice. nyy-se."

Liliedhe nods. "I agree." she says, standing up, "She was very nice. I think that we should find a way to take you out to visit her."
Kampa blinked. "that would be neat. Ne-aat."

Lil picked up the box of crackers she had left on the table and sat down beside Kampa again, handing her crackers. she sighed.
"I... didn't realise she'd be so short..." said liliedhe thoughtfully, "I thought she would be tall, but... she seemed so... Right, as short as she was..."

Kampa lifts her eyebrows puzzledly, cracker crumbs falling from her mouth into the water. Quickly, Rock zipped out of the rocky features he'd been hiding in and gobbled them up, glaring fishily at Kampa.

Lil didn't notice. "I... just can't believe that you're here.... that we're here... that She exists..."
she was staring off into space, then shook herself out of it quickly. "Hey, what do you want for dinner?" she asked, suddenly hungry despite the crackers.

Kampa grinned. "I Want Stew! Ste-eww!" she said happily.
Liliedhe looked at her oddly. "Uh.... how in the name of everything spooky will you be able to eat THAT?" she asked, curious, "Won't it just spread throughout the water and get diluted?"

Kampa shook her head. "Not if I eat it on that Rock over there! hehehe... Di-loooo-ted. Di-loot-ed... hey! you're name is in there!" she points to a raised island-rock at the center of the pool, and giggles in wonder at the word 'diluted'.
Liliedhe didn't get it. "What do you mean, my name's in it?" as she craned her neck to see if 'liliedhe' was written on the rock... or if something was written on the rock at all. she wouldn't have been surprised if her name HAD been written on that rock, what with all the other wierd things of the past few days.
Kampa giggles again. "In Diluted. Di-Lute-ed. you'r name is Leee-leee-ed-heee Lute. Lute! Get it?" she giggled again.
Liliedhe looked at the angelmermaid for a few more seconds... then she finally understood. "ooooh! I see!"she laughed hard, then stopped thoughtfully. "I wonder if we actually have anything for a Stew..."
She got up and checked the refrigerator, then the Freezer. No meat, no milk, no veggies, nothing. Just tea leaves.
she sighs, then she sees a map. Well, I might as well get groceries now... she thinks to herself, checking her wallet for money. There was enough, and she was feeling like a good stew herself. "I'm going out to find the ingredients! I'll be back soon..." she calls behind her, grabbing wallet and map as she walked out the door... I hope.
