The tent has SHINY AND INTERESTING TOOLS of VARIOUS SORTS.

Ooooh! - Okay first picture. Anemone wants him to take pictures. THEN steal. - No, first picture, then look whether there are any other pretty things in the tent, then steal what Anemone will think is the PRETTIEST THING.

Okay. Picture done. Anything besides the shiny tools?

Like PAPERS. Anemone likes papers. Or WATCHES. Magnificence likes watches.

There are PICTURES and SKETCHES.

Anemone likes those!! He will try to be SO QUIET when he steals them.

The mean lady HEARS Magnificence!

oh NO!!!!

HIDE HIDE HIDE

The mean lady has COME INSIDE THE ROOM TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON

He is hiding SO QUIETLY AND NOT MAKING ANY SOUND AT ALL NOT EVEN A BREATH.

He can't actually do that for very long so hopefully she goes away soon.

SCARY MEAN LADY.

The SCARY MEAN LADY sighs and says "something must have fallen off a table" and leaves.

Whew.

He will wait for a while and see whether the humans outside... go away? It would be cool if they went away. Then he could steal things without being so quiet.

He will use his watch to wait for FIFTEEN MINUTES, which is SO LONG.

The humans outside go away!

Magnificence can leave with his PRIZES.

YAY!!!

He will go back to the house where Anemone was staying and see if he can show her!

Anemone is NOT AT THE HOUSE. No humans are at the house.

🤔 Magnificence does not know where the humans went. This is bad. He does not know how to get home without his humans. Did he see them in any other places? He can go to other places where he saw them, if he did?

Mostly for the past few days the humans have been holding their stomachs and going AAAAAAAA.

The humans do seem like they have been having some problems.

Were they holding their stomachs in a PLACE.

in this tent!!! but now they are not in the tent!!!

WHERE DID THE HUMANS GO

VERY TROUBLING.

Okay hmm. Humans always travel with many OBJECTS. Are the OBJECTS of his humans in this tent.

The objects have GONE AWAY.

Oh NO!!! That means the humans went to a FARAWAY PLACE!!!

Okay. Think, Magnificence. The tent is probably on DIRT. Can Magnificence TRACK THE HUMANS.

He cannot track the humans.

As he puzzles out what to do next, his humans return.

Meanwhile--

Do they wanna go look at the books some more while they wait, or check out such attractions as Tomb and Baths?

Zoe is much more interested in exploring around big rocks, today.

She has done PLENTY of sitting in one place for this week.

"How about Sheba? Let's take a quick break from thinking about misery and death."

The Queen of Sheba's Baths are totally unremarkable in every way except that it is, quite obviously, a lake and not a bath.

"Was the Queen of Sheba supposed to be some kind of giant, or did she just like bathing in excessively large tubs?"
