"Oh, sick people go there to nap?"

Something about that sounds wrong ac-tually, but she's not sure what.

"Sort of. Doctors work there to help them get better from being sick."

"Oh."

"Meelia can do some doctoring stuff 'cause she's good at bodies."

"That's a friend of yours?"

"Yeah! Oh, you haven't heard of her? I guess that makes sense, just cause all the amaliens know her doesn't mean you would all know her."

"I might have heard the name but I don't know if amaliens ever have the same names as each other. Amentans do."

"Oh we don't, why do you do that?"

"There's more of us than there are names, and people picking names for kids don't all talk to each other."

"Oh. Cause you don't have time to all talk to each other I guess."

"Yup. And also it just doesn't seem like a big deal if someone has the same name."

"Oh, mhm."

"All ready for bed?"

Yawn!

And sleep.

The next day Fika belatedly remembers that she saw Seem and Valia, music friends, at the amalien encampment. Maybe they'd enjoy going to the music place (which FIka has to visit any-ways since she left her stick there).

Fika goes off to find Seem and Valia. 

And eventually shows up at the music place with a thin girl who has a dreamy look in her eyes and a glass orb floating above her shoulder.

The music place is hosting a puppet show at this hour. They don't have tickets and cannot go inside, though they can talk to the ticketer purple.

"Hi! I brought my friend to perform!"

"- that's not really how this works?" says the ticketer, confused.

"Oh? How's it work?"

"You have to book the space in advance. There's a show on stage right now, and another one in the evening, and we have to clean the place between shows. I guess you could come to the open mic we do when the sets change, end of the week."

"What's an open mic?"

"It's when anybody who wants to can go perform a short bit for whoever's bought tickets. Uh, you do need to also buy yourselves tickets if you want to be there, including to perform, but they're cheap."

"Oh, I don't have any money since I spent it on the food stick which I left here."

"What if we work here and then you give us money and then we give you some so we can be here!" 

"Uh - I could maybe think of something - is that a monster?"
