Laughing, Chuu Lee pats her student on the back. <span class="mu-i">“Right then, I’ll take that to mean my wise woman-ly words are sinking in a little. And I won’t be asking you to make up with them all at once, but I do think it’s all a strain on your spirit. I’m sure if you clear things up with the people you care about (yes, you do), you’ll get back on that horse!”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“I can fly tho?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“But can you teleport, green pepper?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Hey!”</span> She places her hands on her hips, aggressively pouting in Chuu Lee’s airspace.
But her Teacher places an unbandaged hand on her head, and noogies her. <span class="mu-i">“But you're my green pepper, don’t forget!”</span>
Peppa squirms away. <span class="mu-i">“Shup with that, I’m 16!”</span>
Chuu Lee laughs. <span class="mu-i">"Ah sorry, your height threw me off! Not much taller than Tommy now, all that milk is working its magic.”</span>

““Oh!”” Peppa and Chuu Lee take notice of their company who has never once left their side throughout the entire telepathic conversation.
The Cook twirls her own umbrella, and asks, “So did y’all… argue, make up, fight, and make up again?”
“...Yeah?” “Pretty much.”
“Right then!” Cookie smiles. “I’d best depart, find a place to camp. Keep a lookout for my Muffin!”
Below and to the side, the cyborg kid says, “Yuh huh, good time was had by all, this Youngster’s plum tuckered!”
Everyone else nods at that. … then lets out a small yelp at the boy’s sudden reappearance.
<span class="mu-s">Peppa considers if there’s anything she needs to bring up with the others real quick.</span>
>>6089168>>6089627<span class="mu-s">To Chuu Lee:</span>
>A. What happened with your father, Teach?>B. Are there any other remedies for getting a grip on my power?>C. Write-in<span class="mu-s">To Cookie:</span>
>D. Cookie, do you have any copies of that photo to spare?>E. What is your daughter looking for, Cookie?>F. Write-in<span class="mu-s">To <span class="mu-i">The Boy:</span></span>
>G. Kid, why do you want to leave all of a sudden?>H. Do you wanna stay with Chuu Lee, or continue on your own?>I. Write-inAnd also, there’s something that kinda itches at Peppa, something from what she’s heard that could be a minor coincidence… or a major one?
<span class="mu-s">(QM note: a lot has been said, most of it rambling about the past, but there are some dots to connect here. A puzzle to be solved! But before then, y’all have a choice.)</span>
<span class="mu-b">>J. Wait for the answers to these questions to piece together the solution maybe.</span>
<span class="mu-r">>K. Dismiss asking anyone anything as a cost for the QM highlighting some bits of text to hint at a solution.</span>
<span class="mu-g">>L. No need, too easy for me! I can do it right now! The big secret is… (write-in, if you get it Peppa says it)</span>
