He nodded, a wide grin still plastered on his face. Of course!

Come on! Let's go find Livetha! He started to run in the direction they'd been heading, but then stopped and walked back. 

I have no idea where I'm going, he chuckled. You lead.

Hey, Bacon! Knew what?

Beosta couldn't stop smiling. She told Livetha mentally that they'd done it-- they'd completed their CD! 

No answer. 

She frowned. Livetha, you all right? All she got back was the impression of a yes. Beosta broke into a jog.

Uh-oh spaghetti-o's

Shoe followed. Is she okay?

I hope so. She's close. Here--- wait here. Beosta climbed into a tree and found Livetha curled up on one of the branches. The stoat's breathing was shallow, but she cracked her eyes open and chittered in a reassuring way. Beosta climbed down the tree cradling her close. 

"She's okay. But... I think she took a lot of damage from what I did to the withergeists."

Oh . . . he walked over.

Hey, Livetha, he said quietly, running his fingers over her fur softly. Let's get you back to the others.

She chirped happily when she saw him. 

Roth appeared again, nearly scaring Beosta out of her skin. "Stop doing that." 

He gave her a flat look. No, thank you. Are you two ready to finish off the bond?

"We should wait until Livetha's feeling better," Beosta replied. 

Roth huffed and vanished again. Livetha, however, was grateful for the consideration.

Wait a second- he sighed. I keep forgetting that we have multiple Narrators with us.

Tam?! he called.

Yeah, one sec- she'd been talking to someone else, What?

Could you heal Livetha? Not sure if she's actually hurt or just in pain, but-

Ah, yep, I gotchu.

Livetha was healed.

Thanks!

Yeah! You guys okay?

Yeah, we're fine.

Cool. See you in a minute!

Livetha sat up, chirped, and hopped to Shoe's shoulder to sniff his ears. Roth appeared again, impatient, and before anyone could protest, he threw some glitter at Beosta and her stoat, snapped his fingers, and left. 

Beosta gasped. The bond deepened and widened, now more like a tunnel than a string. She grinned. "Let's go back now."

Wait, was that- is that all he has to do? Huh. He picked Livetha up off his shoulders and cradled her in his arms, scratching her head. Let's go!

They hiked back to the town. Beosta was quite pleased with herself, and she could feel through the bond that Livetha was pleased, too, if kind of nervous. 

I won't stretch that far again unless I absolutely have to, Beosta promised her. We'll practice and get better at this whole thing. Okay? 

Livetha agreed.

When they arrived back at the mansion, Tam trotted over to greet them, her side still bandaged.

"Welcome back! Everything went well, I presume?" She looked at Livetha. "Livetha! How do you feel?"

Livetha chirped and hopped onto Tam's head, patting down her hair to make a nest. Beosta laughed. "Everything went great!"

"Wonderful!" A tiny sombrero appeared on Livetha's head.

"I'm glad you're all back! Shoe, could you go help some of the villagers? I need to talk to Beosta in private."

Shoe raised an eyebrow skeptically.

"Girl talk," she said, throwing an arm across Beosta's shoulders playfully.

He sighed and threw his hands up in mock defeat, then left to go see what the villagers needed.

"You might want to sever the connection with him for a minute," Tam whispered conspiratorially to Livetha and Beosta.

Livetha did so eagerly, even before Beosta could blush. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she declared.

Tam grinned slyly. "I think you do."

She grabbed Beosta's hands and shook them excitedly. "You're in love with Shoe!?" she squealed after making sure her brother couldn't hear her. "I wanted to talk to you earlier about it but everything that could happen did happen, so . . . Anyway, I'm so happy for you! He's an amazing guy." She smiled and let go of Beosta's hands.

"Are you going to tell him?"

Face burning, Beosta gave her the ugliest glare she could muster. “I am not in love with your brother. He just makes me happy, okay? Is that such a shock? He’s the best person I’ve ever met. I am not in love with him.”

“He said I was crazy,” she maintained. “I was tired. I didn’t mean all that stuff.” She pushed aside the part of her brain that wanted to abandon this conversation and go find an excuse to hug Shoe.

"No, you asked him to tell you you were crazy, and even if you were tired, then, you're perfectly fine now." She grinned and put her hands up. "It's okay to admit it."

Beosta sighed. “I’m not, okay? Love is, like… it’s not like this. My brother explained it to me, and it’s different.” She frowned. She didn’t actually remember how.

"Oh. Er, you aren't still going to grab him, are you?"

Onyx sighed. "It was a gift. From... the Narrator before me."

Why not? Is it a secret?

Bacon shook the man's hand. "Absolutely, good sir! Tell me, what is your opinion on Bacon Sandwiches?"

"Hah!" declared Bacon. "I knew it!"

The bubble held firm against the Strands as the doctor continued to write, but she did speed up her pace.

This is your mind, she said. You have control. Can you restrain... whatever it is?

“They are quite good! My… uhh… dang, uhhh… someone I know makes some quite tasty ones back home”

“It’s… because Nethek kissed her.” 

Scud. She hadn’t thought about kissing. She turned deeply red.
