“More often than not, it’s better to not know them.” You reflect upon what Houda said more seriously than needed. “Here.” You hand over *that* Vanessa picture to Houda. You thought you got rid of it already, it just keeps showing up...
“Well said, curiosity *must* be satisfied.” Houda grabs the picture from your hands. “And thank you, you’re very kind. Let’s keep this little incident between us, shall we?”
“Yeah, sure.” You’re not the one to divulge secrets.
“Absolutely dandy! I’d be glad to pay you in kind if you ever need me. Perhaps, during another time, I can teach you how to move without alerting a soul. Completely silent. Invisibility is quite the perk, so my help might be overkill – but to pursue beyond our bonds is what separates us from our ancestors.”
“Why not teach me now?” You ask nonchalantly.
“It’s a technique, Noon. And you need to learn the steps. Takes time.” Houda has a point but it feels like an excuse. He’s most likely busy. “It’s time to part ways, Noon, if we don’t happen to meet again – I trust the future in your hands. A pleasure as always.” He tips his hat… then walks through the door. Yeah, no need for eccentricities at this point.
“Take care.” You wave goodbye.
“…Quack.” Dorothy quacks in disgust. She’s not really a friendly animal, not either as a whale or a duck.
“Not now.” You frown.
“Quack.” Dorothy rolls her eyes.
Everything has calmed down, you don’t have anything better to do – you don’t want to leave these two until they wake up, and you know for certain they’re fine.
<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>
>Try waking them up.
>Ask Naiad to make contact with Xavi. It’s time to determine Dorothy’s future.
>Write In.
