Circe's Manor: Re-re-redux!

[Circe]

*Circe shrugs.* Couldn't say, really. I just find it interesting.

[AmbushCat]

Echo: *'mrrs' a little* /~If you say so.~/ *a few beats* /~Later, would you or the cleaning ladies be able to distract the others?~/

[Circe]

I suppose so... Why do you ask?

[AmbushCat]

Echo: /~Ellen's acting suspiciously, Eebon needs some time to rest, Elk is in his "singing" phase, and Ezekiel needs to meet more people.~/

[Circe]

So, you want us to help fix all that, or something?

[AmbushCat]

Echo: *closes his eyes part-way in irritation* /~I doubt that 'fix' is the right word, but if something is done to help them, it would be appreciated.~/

[Circe]

*Circe shrugs.* Call it what you like. I'll send someone down to check in on them later.

[AmbushCat]

Echo: *bats at the air a bit* /~Alright. I hope she likes exuberant children.~/

[Circe]

Oh, I'm sure whoever it is will be fine.

[AmbushCat]

*If he had eyebrows, Echo would be doing his best to raise one. As it is, he instead gives Circe a look that indicates that she might've said something stupid.*

[Circe]

...What's with the look?

[AmbushCat]

Echo: *tail twitches* /~I just remembered. You haven't had much association with Ezekiel since he was born, correct?~/

[Circe]

*Circe shakes her head.* No, not really... Why? Is there something I should know about him?

[AmbushCat]

Echo: /~I realize that you have been warned about his social behavior. The thing to remember is...~/ *pauses to search for the right words* /~Well, he's like a... what's that animal called... a barnacle?~/

[Circe]

...A barnacle?
