“You have to get packing lil’ missy. You’re going to the City of Brass, and you had better get packing.” At this point he turned to Abe “She is probably going to be a fair while, so in the mean time may I invite you both you and Margaret to dinner.” He looked back down at Laura who had no moved.

“Come on get! You can’t have these people waiting for you all day!” a spark arced from his fingers to her, and there was a small crack.

“Ow! I was going, you don’t have to get violent!” she got up and walked back through the door where the tea had come through and presumably towards her room.
