Third thing on the dessert list is chocolate cake; fourth is cheesecake. Cheesecake it is.

They are brought their desserts pretty quick.

Yum.

She thinks she's going to spend tomorrow figuring out what kinds of organic things she can sell - that's maybe a little easier of a way to get money if the council decides to be a pain. Is there anything really obvious that she should look up?

"Organic things? - oh! Freeform shapeshifting! Let's see - pearls maybe? Ivory might be illegal. I'm not sure how to go about wholesaling pearls - or anything else -"

Pearls are super easy, yeah. They're not worth much, if she remembers correctly, but that might be enough to get by on, if she can figure it out. Or ivory, yeah, or other kinds of horns, or wool, she can do wool that's just as fancy as her hair is. That might be a little suspicious, though.

"- why aren't pearls worth much?"

.....because they're really easy to make? ...for her, and she's the only magical girl in the whole world, here.

Okay, pearls it is! 

Giggle. "I still don't know how to move them - a pawnshop won't give you what they're worth, but it'd pay cash and I don't mind running them out for you for a small cut."

She'll look online, she can probably find someplace to buy them. But she'll need help getting them there, and May can have a cut for that, yeah.

"Thanks!"

She should have a pretty good amount by the day after tomorrow, if nothing interrupts her. Maybe not a plan for where to send them yet, though.

"Some kinds are probably rarer and more expensive than others," May mentions.

Ooh, yeah, and it's all the same to her - it won't be too suspicious if she has a bunch of rare ones?

"If necessary I can visit multiple pawn shops."

That should work just fine, then. Thanks.

"You're welcome!"

She's somewhat more enthusiastic about her cheesecake now.

When they have both finished, May pays for the pair of them.

Dusk thanks her again. And - hopefully the thing with the Bakers earlier won't be a complete disaster, but if it is and it's not safe for her to hang out in the park, is there someplace else she should try to be so May can find her?

"Good question. Library? Or is that worse?"

Not worse but not better, either.

"There's not really a good hiding place in the Avalon. If they're really serious about finding you they'll ask a bugbear."

She doesn't know what that is.

"Critter. More than most in the natural magic department. They can find people."

Well she wishes she'd known that three or four hours ago. Okay. Park, then, or she has an email account now and she can probably sneak internet access once in a while no matter what happens - it's RheebaTheMoth@gmail.com; she can't write her own messages for the same reason she can't talk but if May puts answers in she can copy them back.
