I missed you Papa, Remy rasped hugging
his father back. How you find out?

o you, Henri answered.
Yeah, you sure had two o de prettiest nurses I ever see, Lapin said with
a wink.
Jealous? Remy whispered back, his throat becoming sore.
Non, I tink de blonde like me, he grinned.
Dat why she keep tellin you t take a long walk off a short pier?
Henri asked.
She jus sayin dat t trow de rest o de men off de
track, he replied smugly. Boy dat musta been some kiss cousin, t knock
you out fr almost tree weeks.
Don know, I can remember, Remy said in a hoarse whisper.
Now Remy don talk too much, you lose your voice, Jean Luc chastised.
Oui Papa, Remy smiled.
I got good news son, you can come back home. After de last time you were dere when
dose creatures tried t steal de chilren, de council had a meetin. Cause
o what you did dey lift de banishment from you, you a full guild member again,
Jean Luc explained. Dat is, if you wan t come back.
Remy didnt say anything, he was overcome at this turn of events. He just put his
arms around his father and hugged him again. I know boy, I know, he whispered
as he felt Remys tears of happines dampened his shoulder.

The next evening Remy heard a knock on his door after his family had left to go out for
dinner. Come in, he said looking up from his book.
Hi, remember me? she asked opening the door.
Uh-huh, you were here when Ah woke up yesterday, he said. Youre
Stephanie, right?
Not quite, my name is Stephen but most people call me Stevie, she smiled.
I hate being called Stephanie and any variations of it.
Sorry bout dat, he replied.
Sokay, she shrugged.
So, I spose Hank wants t examine me again, he frowned.
No, but he did enlarge your diet. You can eat real food as long as it isnt
spicey, she said.
You can come in chere, Ah ain gonna bite, he smiled.
Thanks, she replied and sat in the chair next to his bed. So, are ya
hungry?
Starvin, he grinned, whats for dinner?
Well, Im making steak with vegetables for myself, but I can add more if you
wanne eat that, she shrugged.
Right now, Ah don care as long at its food, he said leaning back.
All right, Ill bring it up to you when youre ready, she replied.
Why don you join me. My Papa and Henri and Lapin won be back for a
couple hours an itd be nice t have someone t help catch up on
tings, he offered.
Sure, Ill be back in about half an hour, she said getting up.
Don it take longer den dat t cook a whole meal? he asked.
Well, I figured you wouldnt be too picky as long as it was real food so I made
extra anyway, she smiled going over to the door.
Uh-huh, see you den, he said picking his book up again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So has my annoyin cousin been makin passes at ya? Remy asked when
hed finished his dinner.
God yes, she groaned.
I spose he used de Im dyin an I don wan
t die a virgin bit, he frowned.
And several variations of it. Tell me, does he know the definition of
no? Stevie asked.
I don tink so, he said shaking his head.
So how do I get rid of him? she asked.
Tell him youre a lesbian. Non, hed jus consider dat more o a
challenge.
I tried telling him I had a boyfriend and that didnt stop him either,
she sighed.
Do you?
Do I what?
Have a boyfriend?
Not at the moment.
Really? A pretty girl like you? he asked surprised.
Im a little busy for a boyfriend right now anyway, she replied.
Wit what?
Im an electrical and computer engineering major and Im getting into the
real courswork now, she explained.
Well in dat case, start talkin computers an youll go right over
Lapins head. He hates it when a woman is more inerested in machines den
him, he smiled.
Thanks, Ill try that, Stevie nodded.
An if dat doesnt work you can treaten t unman him,
Remy grinned.
Yeah and I usually do carry a pocket knife, she said, an evil smiled lighting
her face. I could offer to give him a free circumcision.
Dat should turn him off, specially if you smile like you are now, he
added.
Is my evil personality showin through again? Damn, I thought Id buried
her deep enough so she wouldnt show up any more, she joked.
Hey, dats not funny, Remy frowned.
Sorry. You know sometimes I feel like Ive walked in on the middle of a movie
and I have no idea whats going on. You ever feel like that? she asked.
Yeah, right bout now. Im outta tings for tree weeks an
I have no idea whats goin on anymore, he sighed.
So where dya wanna start? she offered.
