This isn't a real reply, just what happened when the mail came today... - Wendy
*****
Wendy: Hey, Rey. Sorry to interrupt your reading.
Rey: Oh, no problem. I'm almost done anyway.
Wendy: Are you enjoying the study of astrology?
Rey: Well, the book is pretty interesting, but it's not really telling me what I want to know.
Wendy: What are you trying to find out?
Rey: Uh... compatibility... with someone. You know, just in case I found someone... er, compatible. You know.
Rey: So, how was shopping all day? "Black Friday", right?
Wendy: Yeah, it was fun. I haven't been out and about like that for a while. It was great. But I'm not really here to talk about shopping. There was something for you in the mail...
Rey: For me?
Wendy: Yeah, for you. From Cora.
Rey: Oh... uh... um, I can explain. Er, you see....
Wendy: No need, Rey. It's okay. I'm sorry I tried to tell you who you could and couldn't be friends with. You write to whoever you want to, baby. Life is too short, and you should enjoy everything and everyone you can.
Rey: You're saying that because of the people who died in that room the big Fae are guarding, aren't you?
Wendy: No... well, yeah. Kind of. It's really sad, Rey. After Thorne has done his investigation we'll be able to have the funerals, and ... well, and really say goodbye. And then everyone can know what happened. But anyway, HAPPY things! Like mail for you! So what is it?
Rey: I don't know, actually. Cora said she made me something special.
Rey: It really does have my name on it and everything, doesn't it? It's like I really, you know, live here.
Wendy: Rey, you DO live here. As long as you want to. I won't make anyone stay who doesn't want to be here, but the Treehouse is your home for as long as you want it to be.
Rey: Wow, okay...
Wendy: I'll leave you to open your mail on your own. Have a nice night, Sweetie. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?
Rey: Okay... um, thanks, again.
Rey: Wow... it's got cats all over it and her handwriting is really fancy and...
(rip shred shred tear)
Rey: (reading) "please accept.... hope you like it.... P.S. Please see that Mr. Pike gets his good luck charm as well!!!"
Rey: Hmmm.... Mr. Pike... Mr. Pike... OH! Yeah, that's Stormykin's lawyer. GAH! "Stormykins", oh man, she's got ME doing it now.
(rip shred shred tear some more)
Rey: Aww... it's a hat. She made me a hat. She... she hand stitched this heart on this hat just for me...
Rey: Wow, it fits just right! I wonder how she knew. And it's so cozy... this is going to keep my ears all cozy warm on nights when I go to see the Lady...
Rey: THE LADY!!! The full moon is TONIGHT!!!! And now I can go out and see her without freezing my ears off!!! First full moon at the Treehouse! How did Cora KNOW?!?!? Cora gave me the moooooon....
(running outside)
Rey: Full mooooon.... so beautiful... Cora gave me the MOOOOOOONNNNNNN.....
Rey: The MOOOOOON. Cora GAVE ME THE MOOON!!!! ARRROOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (howling)
*****
I'm sure that Rey will send Cora a proper entry tomorrow, after he's done being a wild thing in my yard. - Wendy
