Story: Middle Part 38

[[Continuity Note: Jessica and Alf are talking to Mr Aldus about what has been going on with Damien.]]

"A binding spell," Jessica seemed horrified by the mere thought of it. "That's awful."

"It is indeed," Mr Aldus stated.

"I'll bet it was Bela Kun," Jessica stated with undisguised malice. "That pig's always trying to stop people having any fun with magic."

"Now now, Jessica. It's inappropriate to insult a person's character because of their own beliefs," Mr Aldus reprimanded.

"Sorry dad," Jessica apologised, though the other two could both tell that she was not actually sorry and did sincerely believe that Bela Kun was a pig.

"Now," Mr Aldus stated, rubbing his hands together like a man with a plan. "You two run along. We'll be having guests round in a minute. Go play with Rock. He should be awake by now."

"We don't play," Jessica grumbled, as she headed up the stairs, Alf following her. They knew when they'd been dismissed.

"I wonder who the guests are," Alf voiced.

Jessica shrugged. "Probably just some of dad's friends. He never wants me around when they come by."

It seemed a little suspicious to Alf, but since Jessica wasn't worried, he'd be better off thinking about their next task: talking to Rock.

[[End Scene, I guess.]]
