... uh, ew? why would i get attached to a slimy bug?

You two have history. Keep it professional.

[His version of professional means don't get attached.]

history liiiiiiiiikke trying to chomp off his wings with my beak??????

Something like that. He's also the reason you nearly died. He's fortunate I don't put pieces of him here, there, and everywhere for that.

super fortunate! i dont think he'll be a problem.

I won't hedge my bet on that.

?????

He's a Firelight. He will upend things.

but we're not doing much. just owning businesses no one wants and giving people work.

And you believe he won't burn them to the ground, even in his own way?

he's without his hive. and jerry will be on his butt about it.

Jerry isn't a deterrent. We must protect what is ours.

[Jerry didn't stop Jinx, so it wouldn't stop Ekko. They were now outnumbered, but that was fine. He had worked with worse odds.]

and we will! when i can chat with my gang again, we'll have them help out. or maybe u can talk to them for me!

No, they are your people. I will keep our enterprises at least partially separate.

i know but the council cursed me again. when i try to talk to my people at the docks, i lose my voice and they walk pass me like im invisible...

If history serves, it will be short-lived. You will have them back again soon enough.

soon is too long for me.

Patience, my child. It will be righted, and we know you have plenty of new people to pick through at the moment.

yea well, this heat is making everything worse. i hate this!

Indeed. I would suggest staying close to the water or the caves.

is that where uve been hiding? in the caves?

No, you told me I wasn't supposed to walk around this last week.

[He was not ready to admit he had crashed at Richard's place....]

good! keep it that way. when im done with the boy savior, ill come over to check ur feet.

are u sure u dont need anything? nothing to eat? drink? extra pillows?

u know all u have to do is write or call me and ill tell the bug to scram quicker right?

They are fine. They don't bother me much at all anymore. No, I don't require anything. You've left everything I need here at the Last Drop. I won't remove you from the opportunity to squish him.

ok. ill definitely be back before dinner. the clouds look pretty dark out here, i think it might storm later. but all the emergency stuff still be in the basement.

[ as in: her very old room she lived with vi, mylo, and claggor. ]
