Planning a Dinner, Part Two.
The Fey do not lie, Edna recalled. At least, not nearly as much as Humans. And they usually made as much sense or more, if you listened carefully, parsed the words...
"The Computer List!" Zoonabelle said excitedly.
Unless of course you were dealing with a Fey like Zoonabelle, who was completely without guile or slyness, an innocent.
But to Edna, it was just a list. No magic about it. Just the names the file held.
"And what about the list... oh, you wish to be on it?"
"I AM on it, I am first, I am the top of the list!" Zoonabelle said, surprised that Edna did not know that, nor understand the obvious importance.
Edna nodded. Sometimes, with the Fey, this was the best thing to do. Simply nod. And see where things go from there.
"First on the list," Zoonabelle said, emphasizing. "And so I am spreading the word to the other Nature Fairies, because why else would a Nature Fairy be first? We are chosen. And it makes all the sense in the world. We can find everyone better and faster."
Edna nodded again. "Hm. There's a new one, you know."
"No,I don't" Zoonabelle said.
"No you don't what?" Edna asked.
"No I don't know a new one."
"Figure of speech. As it is, there is a new Fey. I think, at least, he is a Fey. And, of a type I do not believe has been in this city before. I have a description, from a few reliable witnesses, I think he might be a Satyr. But he should be brought in, before trouble is caused. Satyrs, as you know, enjoy a little trouble."
"No, I did not know that," Zoonabelle says.
"Well, it's often said about them. And that's why... if you are here about the Thanksgiving List, and finding Fey... there is one who should be on it, just to get him to meet us, and learn how things work in this city. We don't want things to go badly."
