"I see you two are getting along just a bit better," you say to Roberta Rhodes and Roberta Rivers. "Normally Rhodes won't even sit near Rivers."

"Well," Rhodes shrugs with a bit of a blush. "We've come to an understanding of sorts."

"We have?" Rivers says.

"Of course we have," Rhodes says. "In that we understand that Ruby, Roxanne, Renee, and now even Rumiko and Raven, are just leagues above us in skill. As a Druid, you're too passive, and as a Jewelcrafter, I have limited options."

"Oh. Well you must've forgotten to tell me about this, though I do agree."

"Don't be too hard on yourselves," Raven says to them. "Rhodes was telling me about her work in more fashionable Jewelcrafting items."

"Oh really?" you say. "Like what?"

"Well nothing particular," Rhodes shrugs. "I'm just trying to make defensive Jewelcrafting more convenient for accessorizing."

"Well that sounds nice," you say. "Have you thought about cufflinks for gentlemen to wear?"

"Yes, I had my brother test some for me," Rhodes says. "They seem to work rather well."

"And Raven told us that you've written poetry," Rivers says. "And even read some of it for other people."

"Oh she did, did she?"

"Yes," Raven says, "and I said I was very proud of you."

"When did you start writing poetry?" mother asks.

"As part of my travels," you shrug. "It's not anything particularly special or impressive, so I didn't really make a big deal out of it."

"You make it sound like it was bad," Raven says. "It was still good."

"So when did you have time to tell them about this?" you ask.

"Last night, before lights out," Raven says. "We got to talking because we all have a mutual dislike of Renee."

The girls giggle and smile. By now, others have arrived, namely your sisters and cousins.

"Good morning," Roselind and Rebecca say together as they take their seats across from mother.

"Good morning, mum," Roselind says.

"Good morning, daddy," Rebecca says.

"Good morning, girls," father says.

"Morning, mum," Reed says for him and Ross as they sit next to Aunt Rita.

"Good morning, boys," she says. "Are you going with Rory to the lake after this? If not, we shouldn't have Carter prepare so many horses."

"We hadn't really thought about it," Reed says. "But we don't have to if Rory doesn't want us there."

"It's not that I don't want you there," you say. "But I'd understand if you didn't want to."

"In that case, we'll just stay behind," Reed says. "We'll join the others at the pool."

"Well, can't someone else go in their place?" Ruby asks. "Like the Robertas."

"Can we go in their place?" Rhodes asks. "That way the horses won't be brought out for nothing."

"Ne, ne, watashi wa dnano?" Rumiko asks. "What about me?"

"Meh, you can stay here," Ruby shrugs.

"Hidoi!" Rumiko snaps.

A) Have the Robertas and Rumiko take your cousins' place
B) Just go with Raven, Ruby and your sisters
