"I can get one done now and the second later in that case."

"Which one, I've put out-of-order signs on them and should update accordingly."

"Thr last one on the left I can do now, the one that was painted yellow I can do later."

"Great, thanks."

And out she goes again.

The water works as promised and the complaints about the spigots stop. Instead, someone wants to know if they can set up a circus tent and another person wants to know where they can put up a reward poster for information about a missing child whose description matches Eefa.

She collects Eefa from the glass place first, if necessary trailing all these querents on the way there. Depending on how much space they need for the circus tent they can put it either in this spot or on the outskirts of town or talk to the guy with the big paddock about whether his critters can tolerate being cooped up for however long the circus is in town. Does the poster have a name for the child, what they'd answer to?

It has "Eefa" in the description, below an artist's rendering of her face.

......

"Wait right here, I'll go ask," she tells the reward poster guy, and then she goes to the glassworks.

Eefa is hiding under the same table as when Pelape left.

"Kiddo, there's a guy looking for you. How close do you need to get to know if he's a wolf?"

"Close enough to see him?"

She scoops Eefa up and takes her around behind the glassworks to see the guy from thataway.

"Not a wolf."

"Okay. Do you recognize him?"

"No."

"Okay. I'm going to try to find out more about why he's looking for you. Be hidey, he might want the reward even if he's not a wolf."
