Some Excuses [5 Thory 4261]

Ghirbis: Noodles and Beans

Me:"Why so many different noodle and bean dishes, Ghirbis?"

Ghirbis:"Dustweed told me to do it!"

Dustweed: Noodles and Beans

Me:"Dustweed? Why did you tell Ghirbis to make all noodle and bean dishes for the big dinner?"

Dustweed:"I didn't tell her that."

Me:"Well, she said you did."

Dustweed:"She asked me what I suggested she make. She had a book of guntry recipes in her hand, and I was afraid she'd only make a meat thing. I told her that a noodle-and-bean soup would be easy to do, and everyone could eat it."

Me:"Oh, dear."

Dustweed:"She went a bit berserk with it."

Me:"Just a touch."

Dustweed:"At least I was able to eat one of the dishes."

Me:"Only one?"

Dustweed:"Most of them had meat in them. I wasn't expecting her to use so much meat."

Me:"Still, you shouldn't tell her things like that. It only encourages her."

Dustweed:"I didn't know she was an Orren! She looks just like a Rassimel to me!"

Me:"To almost everyone, it seems. I must accept that excuse."

Agrimony's Excuse

Me:"Agrimony? What are you doing in my closet? I mean, my quite fancy bedroom suite?"

Agrimony:"Oh! Hi, Sythyry."

Me:"A pleasure meeting you here today! An unexpected pleasure!"

Agrimony:"Quite so!"

Me:"Very unexpected indeed!"

Agrimony:"Not so unexpected. We do live together now."

Me:"Well, in some sense of 'together'. I did think that you were living in the Slotted Hexagonal Mineshaft, on the second floor. Or was it the Chamber of Unspecified Delights?"

Agrimony:"I believe Ghirbis called it that, Sythyry."

Me:"In particular, you are not living in the Carcanofex Suite."

Agrimony:"I should hope not! I am not a carcanofex."

Me:"Well, then, what are you doing in the Carcanofex Suite?"

Agrimony:"This is the Carcanofex Suite, then?"

Me:"It has been thuswise named! Observe the stuffed carcanofex toy in the glorious chamber you are currently infiltrating!"

Agrimony:"Infiltrating?"

Me:"Well, what are you doing here?"

Agrimony:"Chasing Pazi-Pazi."

Me:"Why are you chasing Pazi-Pazi in my bedroom?"

Agrimony:"Because that is where she ran."

Me:"What was she running from?"

Agrimony:"I tripped over her. I saw blood afterwards. I want to make sure she is not hurt."

Me:"Hah! I daresay the blood is from an innocent Zi Ri she has killed."

We collected and inspected Pazi-Pazi. The blood was from her last meal. Evidently Sneaky Veffu has followed us here. And my roommate's suspicious activities had an excuse.

This orrenness must be confirmed. You must take the uneaten soup and douse Ghirbis in it while she sleeps, to see if she turns into her water form!

You, sir, are an Orren of elegance and style ... of judgement and discernment ... a paragon of proper behavior and wisdom ... a polygon of rectitude ... all sorts of good things. This is the best idea I have heard in days!

There's just one problem . . . I think it might be too thick to still qualify as "water". :-)

I shall dunk Seeks-Prens as well, to confirm its power. I know she's Orren.

Does this mean she found the Grand Termite?

Do I dare to ask?
