The Age Of Arma Gedeon

Chapter 24, Fears

Urshawn's grandness doesn't shine so boldly as he tours Erray through the work he's orginizing... redirection sledge vents, chimney additions, pixie shelving and a tiny grand viewpoint for them in the vent house.

Urshawn informs Dirk, he's counting this vent house as underground.

Erray inquires about the rain not coming in anymore and Urshawn tells of the glass roof, Lamica's mushroom distress call had busted being replaced.

When a mason spills his load, Dirk watches curiously as the Lorady and Sage join in the hard work.

When the mess is righted, they don't slow and get right in with their worker.

Erray fusses over furnishing and Urshawn orders his changes to all the little caves, but the highest one, will remain with Urshawn's orders.

When a woman brings lunch baskets to them, Urshawn orders Dirk's menu fetched.

They sit in a cave to eat. Urshawn explains the large board of labeled mineral samples, "I know you like gold with quarts, but not much less. I was hoping you'd tell us what you like."

Dirk hops on the board on a table like a man hoping onto a soap box.

They eat their meaty salads as the Fairy king tells them of each's dietary values and degestive consequence. He tastes some of them and tells of quality.

The break is restful, amusing and informative.

They are closing up their delivery baskets when shouting gets their attention. In a moment, they find it's bull warning and a second later Old Chap charges past the cave.

Erray laughs, then informs their concern, "He overslept."

They've just returned to working, when Belle zips to them and fusses, "Damn, rain. Everything takes longer.

"Iris report says, there's an oversight in the associative analyse, equals convex communication anomalies."

Dirk informs her, "Old Chap told me already. We got it smoothed over."

Erray asks, "When did we do that?"

Dirk sasses, "When we provide you were a spoil teacher."

They laugh at Erray's frowning as a wet women brings Urshawn a wet paper, "Sorry, my Lorady, I fell out of the taxi."

Urshawn worries, "It's cold rain, you should get to a fire."

She agrees, "Yes, but not in a vent hole."

Urshawn unfolds the note and reads it, then hands it to Belle.

She reads it and nods, "Send the spoiled Sage."

Erray fusses, "Send me where?"

Belle gives the note back to the woman, "Your taxi waiting?"

She nods, "Yes, Seer."

Urshawn orders, "Erray will go back with you."

Urshawn gives Erray a strong kiss, "Please, attended our damsel in her distressing."

Urshawn orders for Erray's raincoat.

Dirk hops to the floor, "See ya when ya get back."

Erray watches the tiny man run out. "He's weird."

Belle scolds, "That's the point, Erray. To learn about each other."

Urshawn admits, "I'd love the company of a Sprout. No way it'd be him, we'd never get on. There's a tiny hope in me, this could really work out and pixies could live amount us."
