Rufus waves back. "Hey, Stephen. How are you?"
--
"Morning." Violet smiles.
Russ is pouring syrup over his sausages. He nods.
--
"You're awfully.. cheerful. What's up?" He squints and wonders where his glasses have gone.
--
Angie sneaks over and leans to look at his face. She pokes him.

"Pretty good. I've got a car rented. It's a few miles to Darren's house."
--
"Fine! How about you?"
Russ nods again. He is concentrating.
--
This makes him smile. "What? That's it?"
--
She smiles and whispers. "Good morning."

"Of course. Is your wife tucked away somewhere safe?"
--
"Well.. that's good." She eats waffle.
Russ looks up. "Is Sparrow here?"
--
"You're easy to please." He pokes at her.
--
"How did you sleep?"

"Okay. Are you ready?"
--
"I'll make a plate for her." He eats.
Violet pokes at a waffle.
--
"How was your trip home? I trust you weren't ravished?"

"I'm sorry. We won't be here much longer."

He nods and climbs down to the ground. A car is waiting! It has no top. It kind of looks like the motorcar in the Wind in the Willows. He gets in!
--
He nods again and continues eating.
Violet looks at Matthew.
--
"The scoundrel." Nat walks back over to his bed to look for his glasses.
--
"Would you like some breakfast?"

Rufus starts up the car. "Ah. It's nice to be on the ground again."
--
"How was work? Did you do anything interesting?"
--
"I don't suppose there are extra clothes hiding around here somewhere?" He finds the glasses under a pillow.
--
"Okay. Come on, there's food downstairs."

Off they go! Down a long, dirt road that leads into the forest.
---
"Oh. That's nice."
--
"Some pants would be nice. Some socks, at least." He wiggles his toes. "How long does it take to get back to Byron's house?"
--
She leads him down to the dining area, where a big breakfast is set out.

Stephen watches out the window."
---
"Yep."
---
"A day or two. And we only have girly clothes. Maybe Bradley has something though."
---
"He wouldn't poison us, would he?"
