Carigana smiles and waves at the silver-haired gnome.
“Goodbye Grannie, enjoy your dinner. I think with Mr. Sorrieenrei’s help I should be fine. How much trouble could the girls be?”
The last is meant to sound reassuring, but Cari’s not entirely convinced herself.
Cari turns to Sorrieenrei.
“Well, I suppose I’ll go check on the girls. If you hear screaming or smell smoke, you’d better come find me, Mr. Sorrienrei.”
The last is meant to be a weak attempt at humor, but again, Cari is not entirely convinced. Gnomes can be unpredictable.
Cari heads towards Rosi’s room where she hears a great deal of giggling from the other side of the door. Opening the door, she sees Gwendi, Annelwyn, Daintily and Rosi sitting on the floor eating the remains of the purloined gooey spider cake, and playing with a baby carriage.
“Hello girls! I’ve come to visit you while Grannie has dinner with Mr. Nedward. Oh, you’re playing dollies! How fun!”
Dolls, Cari can handle. Maybe watching the girls won’t be as hard as she thought. Cari reaches down into the baby carriage to pick up Anne’s doll. The “doll” wriggles and swears in demonic – not a doll at all! Cari shrieks, and as often happens when she’s frightened, involuntarily shifts to Cheetah form and dashes out of the room at full speed.

Sorrieenrei smiled and wished Grannie a good night as she hurried off. He raised an eyebrow as he heard Carigana tell the girls she had come to visit while Grannie went to dinner with Mr. Nedward. “Mr. Nedward, you old dog!” He thought to himself, grinning ear to ear, happy to hear that the gnome was getting out and having some fun.
A shriek and a speeding feline brought his thoughts front and center. “Oh my!” He said jumping to his feet. “Carigana?” He called after the speeding cat. When she didn’t stop he hurried back to the girl’s room to see if everything was ok. The image of a cursing imp dressed in a frilly pink dress, bouncing wildly in a baby carriage amidst cackling gnome girls unable to control their laughter brought the grey haired gnome to a speechless halt. Knowing he must say something he forced words from his mouth. All that would come out was, “Oh my.”

The adrenaline slowly wears off. Finally back in control of the shifting, Carigana pops out of Cheetah form and catches her breath. “Oh, those girls!” She takes another deep breath to calm herself and reflects on the situation. “Oh, that poor imp!” Cari falls into helpless laughter at the thought of the imp in the pink frills. Sighing, she heads back to Rosi’s room. Sorieenrei is there, looking fondly at the gnome girls who are still having fits of laughter.
“I do beg your pardon, Mr. Sorieenrei. The imp startled me, and well, strong emotion tends to trigger my shapeshifting. I’m afraid I’m still learning control over it.”
She returns her attention to the giggling gnomes. “Annie, I don’t think your imp likes being a baby doll. Why don’t you let him get some rest and we’ll find a better game to play? Or, how about a treat, girls? I brought some cookies.” Cari reaches for her pack, but discovers it is missing. She smiles sheepishly at the excited young gnomes. “Hmm, I must have forgot my pack in Grannie’s kitchen. Let’s go see if it’s there.”

Nedward arrives at the end of the street to Lilibell's home. He can already smell the baking and his stomach growls again. Oh! He had starved himself before coming! At least 3 hours without a bite.
Nedward rubs the bottle of wine in his hand against his shirt, nervously. It hope it was not too presumptious to bring something.
"Of course it's not!" he mutters to himself. "No respectable gnome shows up empty-handed!"
Nedward arrives at the door but then loses his nerve. What if he had misunderstood? What if the girls were home? What if they called him "Hot Lips" in front of Lillybell and he turned red? Maybe it was the wrong day...maybe he should go home and write a note that something had come up.
He stand on the doorstop and his stomach growls again.

Lilybell sets the plates on the table and carefully folds the napkins just so then steps back to admire her work.
Lovely just Lovely!
I do hope Mister Nedward shows up before the food gets cold. With that thought she heads to the door to peek out , and finds herself staring at Nedward.
Mister Nedward! I didn't hear you knock! please forgive me! do come in please!
Grannie takes Nedward's hand and pulls him inside shutting the door behind him Let me take your cloak and hang it Dear . You wouldn't want it to get all wrinkled.
whats this Lily ask as she see's the bottle in Nedwards hands. How delightful! you thoughtful gnome! Come have a seat and I will fetch some glasses and the Scorpid surprise!

During all the commotions with the Imp screaming and the cat dashing about Daintily had successfully made off with a pack full of cookies. In her attempt to eat all of the cookies before being discovered she had worked her way completely into the backpack except for her feet. Munching happily on cookies she didn't seem to mind the awkward position at all.

"Oh, welll... yes! I was just, that is...thank you," says Nedward, flustered at being caught on the doorstep. Lilybell takes his hand and brings him inside. My, what I nice smell her home has! but Nedward has not time to think about that, for his head is turned by the well turned-out lady near to him. Her hand was firm and her smile was inviting.
"Ah... why, madame, you look lovely! That is, I mean..." had he suggested that she usually did not? He was no good at these things! Nedward scowled.
"I mean to say...that is...what is that lovely smell?"
Bah! 'Old fool!' he thinks of himself.

Lily belle accepts the compliment with a smile as she offers Nedward a bowl of Scorpid surprise. Why thank you dear that is kind of you to say so. Now how was your day? Did the boys give you any trouble before you came over for dinner? Grannie Piles their plates High with Roasted Kodo meat , runn tum tuber surprise and crispy lizard tails as they sit and talk. Make sure to save room for the Gooey spider cakes I made says Grannie as she sips her wine.

Nedward digs into the delicious treats.
"Oh! Terrible!" he says, muching away politely. "Don't get me started! First those blasted boys must ahve been playing with my hearthstone again. I swear they are trying to kill me --- mmm, thank you --- Well, I woke up in the Arathi Highlands and was almost eaten by a raptor! Then my artheositisosis was acting up... and you know how bad it can be be..."
Once started, it was hard to stop Nedward from complaining. He went on for some time without seeming to breathe, all the while polishing off Grannie's cooking, and then finished with,
"...but you know me, I'm not one to complain."

Listening raptly Lily nods and smiles during the meal every once in a while she stops to give Nedward another helping of whatever was missing from his plate
My goodness they sound as bad as the girls! If there isn't one sneaking about stealing cookies then they are blowing up things or have Imps doing somersaults in the house! That reminds me I wonder how Carigana is doing with them... I am sure they are fine.

When Cari mentions cookies Annelwyn starts looking for Daintily I knew it! Annelwyn grabs Daintily's feet and tugs pulling the still munching gnome from Carigana's backpack !
Miss Cari! Tily ate all the cookies! Can we go make more? Grannie and Mister Grandpa Neddie should be done eating by now.
Before waiting on an answer Annelwyn has grabbed " her baby" and headed for the door

Rosi helps Daintily to her feet and brushes the cookie crumbs from her shirt
Daintily you really should try to control yourself around cookies, especially when they are not yours.
now c'mon before the others leave us behind
with a blink Rosi is hot on the heels of Annelwyn and Gwendi
Anne, Wendi please don't call Mister Nedward grandpa Neddie you know how mad he gets and we don't want to upset him or Grannie tonight now do we? That includes you too Tily. Please try and behave. The three younger Gnomes all agree they will be very very good!

Daintily sprints ahead of the other girls giggling
I'm gonna peek in the window and catch them smooching! I bet Mister Grandpa Neddie is wearing cologne! Daintily sneaks up to the house and presses her face to the window trying to peek in just as Annelwyn , Gwendi and Rosi arrive and press in close so they are all squishing Daintily's face against the window pane
I can't see with you all breathing on me! Daintily screams shoving the other gnomes. The girls hear footsteps inside and all rush back around the side of the house to hide in the bushes
