Hours of purple work later, Pelape is finally bored enough to go catch one of the free matinees. There's musicians and acrobats.

"Who are they fighting?"

"Nobody, shhh."

Eefa can be quietly confused if that's what Pelape wants, sure.

Eventually the performance wraps and Pelape claps with everyone else and they can go back to their room.

Eefa is scared by everyone around her clapping and wants to leave real quickly after that.

Okay. "Clapping is the way people show that they liked the show."

"It's loud and they all did it at the same time..."

"Yes, once the show ended."

"Was I supposed to?"

"Most people do but I don't think anyone was offended that you didn't."

"Okay."

"Once those jerks have moved on I might want to explore the town a little more, do you?"

"Yes." She doesn't want to be trapped here.

"Hopefully they don't stick around too long."

Nod nod.

"Was only supposed to be one night." But that was when they had Eefa.

"Well, hopefully their plans haven't changed and they'll be gone soon."

Nod nod.

"Why do you want them gone?"

"I'm concerned they'll try to start a fight or grab you again."

"And you don't want them to take me away?"

"Of course not, why would I want that?"

"Sometimes people want to get rid of me instead of keeping me?"

"Well, I'm trying to take care of you, remember? And letting them get you wouldn't be taking care of you at all."

"It wouldn't?"

"No! Taking care of you means making sure you're okay and they would not cooperate with you being okay."
