Isun is induced to talk more. Eventually Eskillimi says, "He says - sez sez sez sez - he wants to know why he's here. But I told him I did not knowwwwwwwww. oh. oh."

"We do not know either! We're, uh, pleased to meet him, though."

Eskillimi tells him this. "He says," she translates, "- ez ez ez - he says he wants to go home right away."

"Is the repeating things a thing the chip does -"

"Oh, no, it's just - they're fun to say."

"We do not have any idea how to send him home."

Isun doesn't like this answer. "He says he has a company to run-un-un-un-un," Eskillimi reports, "and that he can pay you a lot if you can get him to where all his money is."

Giggle. "Okay. Do you know what kind of star your planet goes round?"

"It's yellow. Or do you mean his -" Jabber jabber. "- his is yellow too."

"Does it have any other identifying traits?"

Jabber jabber jabber. "Uh, he says that if you ask the braids... I think that's another species on his planet... if you ask ask asssssk the braids they will say it's made of fruit."

"Fruit?"

Eskillimi confirms this. "Yeah, fruit. His people are called Khazad and are not so sure about the fruit thing. They live underground and don't look at the sun much though."

He Accios an apple off a tree and holds it up questioningly. "Like...this?"

"He says that looks like a fruit to him," Eskillimi confirms. "He says if the sun's a fruit it's a magic fruit. He wants to know if those sticks are for sale."

"In principle yes but they only work for us."

"You should get Aaron," he adds to Karen. 

Karen has been listening from the door and goes looking for Aaron. "Aaaaaron!"

"Yeah?"

"Aliens who are not Amentans appeared in your yard for no reason and Minor told me to get you, probably because one of them asked if he could buy a wand."

- shrug. He comes on outside.

"I just think you'll get along with this guy!"

Eskillimi translates for Isun, whose response is, "Why, what's so great about him?"

"He...likes solving problems with money?"

"Everyone likes solving problems with money, just not thinking about why the money solves the problem."

"The shapeshifter says that he says the stick won't work for me."

"Probably not, though I don't know for sure, maybe your whole species is magic."
