"Mm?"
Benzel scuttles at top babygoat speed past them. "Something pulled my tail!"
--
"Yep! It won't kill me."
--
"He's certainly weak here, but that works for you, I suppose." He shrugs.

"I believe it was..." He pauses dramatically then points up into the air. "A ghost!"
---
"Very.. very well." He picks off a couple of nuts then carefully dusts them off before offering her one.
---
"He is weak everywhere. That is why I have taken charge of him."

GASP! "A ghost?"
Benzel wraps all four stubby legs around one of Thea's ankles and CLINGS.
--
She cracks it open with her teeth and noms.
--
"Ooooh. I see."

"Ghooosties! Hi!" Edan spins in a circle.
---
Myles watches her carefully. It is bitter tasting.
---
"It wouldn't matter if he wasn't also a genius."

Thea frowns. "Come on, you two. Ghosts can't hurt us. Let's find those books!" She drags Benzel down the corridor.
--
She makes a face and laughs. "Ew."
--
"Mind you don't make him too unhappy. He might do something silly."

Edan laughs and follows.
---
"I.. I told you." He smiles.
---
"He won't if he doesn't get drunk."

She pushes a door open and steps into another room. This one does have books!
--
"I wanted to try them for myself. I thought you said it was bland!"
--
"Don't take away one of the few pleasures he has."

"We have found the books!"
---
"It.. is. Mostly. It is good for clearing sinuses."
---
"That isn't a pleasure, it's a vice."

"Good. Now look for a useful one." She scoots in and scans a shelf.
Benzel continues to cling.
--
"Well. Mine are definitely cleared."
--
"What else does he have?"

"What does a useful one look like?" Edan wanders around, poking at books.
---
Small smile. "Do you want to see more?"
---
"Those ridiculous word puzzles you brought him. He seems to enjoy those well enough."

"I don't know. See if there's one about djinn or magic or something." A book falls near her head. She hops back.
Benzel meeps!
--
"Yes!"
--
"... Those can't be the only things he has."

"I got a better idea! Ghooosties! Which books are about djinn or magic? Hit the goat with them!" He snickers.
---
"Um... let's see..." He steps off the path and points at some flowers clustered at the bottom of a tree. "Those can be used as a dye."
----
"And he has his work."

Thea snorts.
Benzel runs around! "Nooooooo!"
--
"Like to dye clothes?"
--
"Which ran away recently. No wonder he was so upset."

"Or just toss them onto the floor. Whichever you'd prefer, ghosties!"
---
"Yes."
---
"That seems to happen entirely too often to him. He should have burned the witch to ash."

"I can't even read some of these covers."
A book flies off the shelf and heads for Benzel. He hops neatly over it. "Bwah!"
--
"Have you ever used it to dye clothes?"
--
"He might if he ever sees her again."
