I have news. My best friend just fluxed in. I'm going to be late getting home for dinner.

Expect me around eight? I'll let you know if that changes.

You looked gorgeous today, by the way.

It is Mal?

[Mal was totally the name of her best friend, right?]

And you looked really beautiful this morning. I liked how your earrings matched your shoes.

That'd be her. Purple hair, kind of prickly when it comes to the people she cares about, but one of the best people I know.

My friend made the earrings for me for the sole purpose of going with the shoes I wore today. When I get my shop back, I'm going to see if I can start selling her jewelry there and send the money back to her.

Is she going to move in with us?

Where will your shop be?

I thought about it but...

I kind of enjoy that The Shire is ours. Plus she has a guardian. She’s most likely going to live with them.

We can have her over soon for dinner or something though, right?

I like that the Shire is ours too

Soon. When she's settled in.

And I never answered your question about my shop. I'm sorry. It's called Bad Apple and it's in the merchant dome. I had it when I was here the first time, now it belongs to my former guardian.

Good. I'm looking forward to it.

Bad Apple? I don't get it...

My mother tried to give a princess a poisoned apple because mother was jealous of how lovely this princess was.

It’s not a nod to her behavior. Not at all. But when deciding on a name a friend of mine suggested I make a sort of joke about it. My store is meant to make people feel good about themselves.

Does she hate you because of how lovely you are?

[He also still does not get the bad apple thing but that's okay.]

You're good at making people feel good about themselves. I bet it's a really successful store.

No. My mother loves me. She’s also very, very vain and tried for years to teach me that I’m only as valuable as my looks and that I’d never find a prince if I didn’t play dumb and didn’t know how to cook or clean or sew.

And then I surprised even myself when I discovered I’m actually a chemistry genius.

That's really weird to me. I never really had any parents but my Master... he got upset when I couldn't do things.

[It was almost comical to imagine Jaro telling him something like Evie's mother had told her.]

Really? I don't think it's all that surprising.
