[ Apparently, while it's raining cats and dogs outside, Ella is sitting at a table with her head on her hands in the dining room today, the NV resting open in front of her. Distantly the sound of banging is heard, some chatter and suchlike. Ella opens her mouth to address the network. ]

I can handle the banging and all, that's just a necessary evil. But the pa-thetic pick up lines are just embarrassing. I feel terrible, but I actually laughed at that poor man working on the office in the back, and now he can't even look at me. [ It's not her fault! "Hey, you come here often?" is not an appropriate line when the person lives there! Before she can say anything further, Hattie's voice intrudes. ]

Ella~! Wine! ... please.

[ Ella responds thusly. By placing her hands on the table and keening in the most IRRITATING whiny voice she can muster. ]

But I don't -waaaaaaaaanna- get uuuuuuuuuuup! Why do I have to do EEEEEEVerythiiiiiiiiiiing! It's not faiiiiiiiiiiiiiir, why can't you get it yourseeeeeeeeeeeeelf. You're right theee-

[ Thankfully, Hattie cuts her off. ]

Not *THAT* kind of wine! REGULAR Wine! NOW. Please.

[ Ella jerks to her feet automatically, but she's laughing, under her breath. It was worth a shot. She's spitting in the wine though. She's taking the NV with her too. ]

I'm amazed she said "please". In case you're curious, we're getting some major remodeling done on the house. Expensive, but worth it in the end. [ Considering the alternative was losing a room she had been using for her own little sanctuary. ]

Word of advice. If you get some remodeling done, avoid Crazy Eddy's Construction - he shows up at the door in a /chicken suit/. A giant. Chicken suit.

[ She jumps a bit in surprise, caught off guard by the command. And. . . sigh. ]

Yeah sure. What size? [ She rests her chin on her hand, inwardly grumbling. ]

[Frau knows nothing about the command thing so he just blinks.]

What?

[See this confusion?]

What - you want a costume for your friend don't you? I need to know what size he is.

You're seriously going to get one?

[No, Frau still can't believe this. It's even more unbelievable when Castor isn't here.]

Well, yeah, of course. Why wouldn't I?

I think the better question is why would you?

You're a friend, Frau. I like to make my friends happy - and since you expressed an interest in the costume, I figured I could find one at one of the stores.

Is it really that weird for someone to want to do that?

[He scratches at his head.]

I guess not... I wouldn't worry about it though. It's not like Castor is here, and I'm probably not going home any time soon.

[ She inwardly sighs with relief. It would have been embarrassing to buy something like that - that was just a bit too close. ]

All right, if you're sure. [ She knew the feeling though - she'd already been here almost two years with no sign of going home. ]

Trust me, I'm sure. It would be worth the beating if he was here though.

... Okay.

... Wait, Beating?

[Frau looks a tiny bit embarrassed at that.]

Yeah, well, he'd kick my ass.

You'd still get the costume for him, even though he'd hit you for it? [ Pff. ]

Of course. It would be worth it.

[And Castor hits him for a lot of things.]
