Speaker	Dialogue
[Open on Eda's Human Collectibles stand in the market. King holds up a tray of mostly inedible human things.]
King	Partake of my free snack samples! Take them; I demand it as your ruler, the King of Demons!
[Several people pass but none even look at him. He throws the tray on the ground.]
King	Nyeh! Why isn't anyone paying attention to me? I'm their rightful overlord. Intellectually and such.
Eda	Yeah... hey! [Grabs a passerby by the cowl, sniffs.] It reeks more of nerd than money today.
Luz	Guys!
[Eda lets go of the passerby.]
Passerby	Ah!
Luz	You will not believe what's going on! [Poses under a banner.] It's a book fair! Where books come to life!
[A book jumps off one of the stands next to her.]
Book	Hello.
[Luz screams and kicks it.]
King	A fair without rides?
Boy	Who needs rides when this [Shoves a book in King's face.] can take you anywhere?
King	Nyeh.
[King throws a strip of bacon on the boy's head. A winged demon flies by and picks him up. The boy screams.]
Eda	A, ew. [Throws book on the ground.] B, I'm bored. C, I feel like pickpocketing some dork while they browse. [Walks off.]
Luz	No, wait! [To King.] Will you give it a chance? I'll let you ride in my hoodie! [Puts her hood up.]
King	Ooohoohoohoo!
[Cut to Luz walking through the book fair with King in her hood.]
Luz	This book fair's got everything! A zine-making workshop, meet and greets, and—what's that? [Gasps.] A writing competition!? I've always wanted to be a writer.
King	Writer? What? I thought you wanted to be a witch?
Luz	Of course I wanna be a witch. But where I'm from that's kinda... impossible. So my runner up dream was to be a writer. [Pulls a picture out of her pocket.] I've had this about the author picture since I was seven years old. I know my good angle. I'm gonna enter the competition.
[Bo laughs as she runs by.]
King	Ugh! What are these basement dwellers doing out in natural sunlight?
Tinella Nosa	Um! We're in line for Jon De Plume, most famous writer on the Boiling Isles, famed author of the Realm Warriors series! I'm gonna have him read my story... and marry me.
[Cut to Jon signing a book.]
Man	Jon, will you sign my child?
Jon	I'll sign anything! [Laughs evilly.]
King	Such power. Such command he holds over his minions. I must have the same! Luz the human! I too shall enter the competition.
Luz	Really? [Gasps.] We could work together! It'll be perfect! We're best friends, so we'll make the best team!
King	Team! Yes!
[Luz begins walking away.]
King	My name goes first on the cover.
-THEME SONG-
[Indistinguishable chatter.]
Eda	[Grabs books and tosses it.] Boring, [Knocks books onto a child's head.] boring. [Grabs another book.] Boring. [Gasps as she looks in a mirror.] Another wrinkle! The curse is quickening!
Lilith	You, lackey.
[Eda ducks behind a banner that says "READ OR... DIE". She lifts the banner and glares at Lilith.]
Eda	Lilith...
Lilith	Do you have the item we discussed?
Merchant	Oh! Yes, right here. [Hands her a map.]
Lilith	[Opens it.] This is excellent. A map to the Bloom of Eternal Youth. I think the emperor will be very pleased.
Steve	Ma'am, shouldn't we be searching for the Owl Lady to join the coven? Remember that whole plan.
Lilith	[Laughs.] My sister's curse has left her frail. She'll still be here when we get back.
[Eda groans.]
Lilith	This comes first, it's for the emperor after all.
Steve	Yeah! [Knocks over the merchant's books.] All hail the emperor!
Lilith	Very good, Steve! [Pats his shoulder and walks away.]
Steve	Shoulder pats for Steve! [Walks away.]
Eda	[Jumps a table.] Hey bub, what'd you sell my prissy sister?
Merchant	Oh! It's a map to the Bloom of Eternal Youth. A rare flower that only grows once a millennia. Like the name says, it gives eternal youth to whomever holds it.
Eda	Interesting. So Lilith wants to nab this power for the emperor, huh. Well, won't she be surprised when I get there first and get it for myself! Hah! That'll show her who's frail.
Merchant	[Grins maliciously.] Well, we'll see won't we. [Opens a drawer to reveal dozens of maps.] Can't go without a map of course.
[He hands Eda one. She takes it and opens it, grinning. Cut to Luz's room in the Owl House, where she puts down a large corkboard.]
Luz	Now, let's write down some ideas that we want to see in the story.
King	I can write anything?
Luz	Yeah! [Hands him notecards and a crayon.] We're brainstorming, every idea is a good idea.
King	[Writing.] Mhm! Done! [Pins up paper that says "VIOLENCE".]
Luz	Aw, is that all you want to see?
[King holds up paper that says "BLOOD :)".]
Luz	Hmm.
[Cut to later, with the corkboard mostly full of notecards. Luz pins up three more, reading what's on them as she goes.]
Luz	Romance! Magic! Heartbreak with shimmer tears. And, the main character is, of course, ahhh, Luzura! [Holds up a card with a drawing of herself wearing a pointed hat.] I know it's kind of cliché, but what's wrong with cliché?
[She pins her character card to the board. King pins his, a stick figure drawing of himself, next to it.]
King	Nyeh! And my main character is the King... err... the Ruler of Demons! With this totally original, all-star cast, victory will be ours!
[Luz puts a typewriter onto a desk and sits behind it.]
Luz	Now for the easy part.
[Cue montage. King stares at the corkboard, now with "ACT 1", "ACT 2", and "ACT 3" on larger notecards in the middle. Luz puts a giant piece of paper over the acts of a drawing of Luzura and Ruler standing in front of an explosion. King and Luz high-five. Cut to Luz writing the following on a chalkboard: "Step 1: Find Cat. Step 2: Endanger Cat. Step 3: Shave Cat (???). Step 4: Book Complete." King nods. Cut to the chalkboard now hanging up and reading "STORY STRUCTURE" with a storyclock diagram underneath it. King gestures to it several times. Luz draws a face over the diagram. They both grin. Cut to the floor littered with paper, most of them scribbled over with red. Luz is typing and King is pacing while reading. A banner above them reads "Luzura's Awakening".]
King	"Luzura's tears fell on the frozen prince, bringing him back to life." Ehhh, it just seems kind of unrealistic.
Luz	I see what you're saying. [Stops typing.] But in your version, Ruler just destroys everything. I think a little romantic tension could help the scene.
King	Hey, there's more to life than shipping.
Luz	Don't you dare insult shipping in my presence!
Eda	[Offscreen.] Apprentice! Living room!
Luz	I'll be back, we'll figure this out, okay writing buddy? [Luz leaves.]
King	[Looks at the typewriter.] My turn to write!
[Cut to the living room, where Eda is looking at the map.]
Luz	Hey!
[Eda closes the map.]
Luz	What's up, boss lady?
Eda	I am popping out for a few days to an undisclosed place to do undisclosed things. You're in charge.
Luz	Great!
Eda	No questions!
Luz	Okay!
Eda	I said no questions! [Closes the door.]
[Luz shrugs. Cut back to her room.]
Luz	Well, King, it's just you and me for a while. [Gasps.]
[In the minute she's been gone, King has transformed the room. Drawings of King and screaming people are on the corkboard. Luzura is now in the trash. King is typing peacefully.]
King	Hey hey Luz, great news!
Luz	What have you done?!
[Even the banner has been changed, now reading "RULER'S REACH".]
King	I just made a few tiny edits and this baby is humming!
Luz	[Picks up drawing.] Luzura dies?
King	I know, right! What a twist!
Luz	King, I know you're trying to help, but I think you're crossing a line.
King	Yeah, into greatness. Don't you want us to win?
Luz	If this is how you want to win, maybe you should submit the story on your own. [Leaves.]
King	What?
[Door closes.]
King	Bah! What does she know?
Typewriter	What the heck, man? Learn to collaborate.
King	Hush, you! I'll prove to both of you my story is superior.
[Cut to Grimgrub's Pub. King bursts in.]
King	Hey, you scum! Which one of you wants to read my literary masterpiece? Anyone brave enough?
[Patrons growl. King is thrown out of the pub and lands in mud.]
King	Oof!
[His book is thrown out and hits him in the head.]
King	Nyah! Ugh.
Piniet	I'll read your story. [Takes King's book, reads it fast.] You wrote this?
King	Yup, that's me! Only me.
Piniet	Let me get you a fruit punch.
King	Ooh. I love punching.
[Cut to inside. Piniet snaps. A glass of fruit punch is slid on the counter toward King.]
Piniet	I'm Piniet, of Piniet Publishing House. And your name is... King?
King	It's more of a rank than a name.
Piniet	I loved your story, so much better than the submissions we got for the competition. I want to buy it and publish it for everyone to read. I'll make you as famous as Jon De Plume.
[Camera pans to Jon De Plume getting cheered on by fans as he does finger guns. He falls backwards, and Amelia and Skara rush to act as a chair for him.]
King	I've always wanted a people chair! I'm in! This will be my first step in my reclamation of power!
Piniet	[Pulls a contract out of his jacket.] Then all you have to do is sign here.
[Piniet puts the contract on the counter. King dunks his paw in the punch and smacks it on the signature line. The contract glows when Piniet picks it up. He rolls it and puts it back in his jacket.]
King	You're ominous. And I like it.
Piniet	Get ready to be famous, Mr. King.
[They shake hands. Cut to a forge, where creatures are jumping on a bellow. A witch pulls a molten ball out of the fireplace. They strike it with a hammer, then cool it in a barrel. The cooled chunk smashes on a table, revealing King's book. Cut to a cartful of the books arriving at a bookstore. Mattholomule takes a bundle of them out and tosses it on the welcome mat, which carries it inside.]
Welcome Mat	Ouch! Jeez.
[Cut to the market.]
Reviewnicorn	It's the perfect blend of heart and heartlessness! Like two authors mashed into one! [Neighs.]
[Cut to the library, where a cardboard cutout of King is leaning against a stand of Ruler's Reaches. A crowd comes and goes, leaving no book behind. Skara returns to kiss and steal the cardboard cutout. Cut to King wearing a jacket, scarf, and sunglasses as he walks the streets of Bonesborough, past bookstores and loaded shelves.]
King Cardboard Cutout	Spend money on my thing I wrote. Spend money on my thing I wrote.
Crowd	[Gasps.] Oh my God! it's the King, I can't believe it!
[The crowd tosses King into the air. More people arrive, waving their copies of Ruler's Reach and pens.]
Tinella Nosa	Mr. King! I love your writing. Please read my story!
King	[Laughs.] Oh my, always good to meet minions. I mean fans. [Signs Tinella Nosa's story and throws it back at her.]
Tinella Nosa	You're my inspiration.
[Cut to the forest. Eda walks into a clearing, consulting her map. She rips vines off of a statue.]
Eda	Okay, from the Minitaur, I head due north, and with luck, I'll get to the Bloom of Eternal Youth before Lilith! [Laughs, snorts.] Who's frail now, emperor dorks?
[Branch cracks.]
Eda	[Gasps.] Someone's following me.
[With a snap, she summons a blue sword. She ducks behind the statue. Lilith walks into the clearing, looking worse for wear. Eda summons a fireball and runs out from behind the statue.]
Eda	Spicy toss!
Lilith	Aah!
Eda	Lilly?
Lilith	Edalyn?
[Eda vanishes both of her weapons.]
Lilith	[Sighs.] And of course you would be here just to be a nuisance. Why don't you go home and rest? Wouldn't want you breaking a hip.
Eda	Sorry, sister, I'm stronger than you think. I'm here to save the Bloom of Eternal Youth from the likes of you. [Runs; sing-songy.] And I'm gonna get there before you!
Lilith	Aah! No you won't!
[Cut to Luz's room. Luz is writing on the typewriter.]
King	Hey, Luz!
[Luz looks up and glares at King.]
King	Guess who won the writing competition and became a blockbuster writer superstar?
[He slides into the room while Luz resumes typing.]
King	You're right, it's me! Me! Do you wanna touch my scarf? A fan crocheted it out of their own hair! It smells so bad!
[Luz continues typing.]
King	My publisher is throwing a huge party for my book, Ruler's Reach. [Puts an invitation on the table.] And I, uh, I'd like for you to be there
[Luz sweeps the invitation off the table. It hits the floor and she continues typing.]
King	Alright, fine! Be that way I guess.
[King leaves. Luz stops typing and looks up. She sighs.]
Typewriter	Girl, you don't need him.
Luz	But I don't want to be mad at him, either.
[She picks up the invitation and opens it. Inside is a golden paper that says "MEET THE AUTHOR TONIGHT ONLY @ BONESBOROUGH LIBRARY". A picture of King in a blue sweater is in the middle. Cut to the library, which has an extensive line outside of it. Inside, King and Piniet are sitting at a table.]
Fan	Your fans are dying to know when Ruler's Reach 2 comes out!
King	That's between me and my publisher, right, Piniet?
Piniet	Yes. Ooh, pardon me, I need a few moments of King's time.
[Piniet walks off. King looks back at his fans and throws a peace sign, making them scream. Cut to the aisle in front of the romance section.]
King	Where's Jon De Plume at? I wanted to compare sunglasses.
Piniet	Oh he's taking a break to finish his latest masterpiece. Fame can really box you in, you know? Uh, speaking of, how's your second book coming along?
King	Coming along? Or finished! [Pulls out a manuscript.] Bam! Haha! Ruler's Reach 2—now with more swears!
Piniet	Ahhh! Splendid! [Reads story.] Oh, you cad! Not only are you a great writer, but a practical joker as well!
King	That's true—wait, what?
Piniet	Oh, this is truly awful! Looking forward to the real draft. [Hands manuscript back and walks away.]
King	Truly awful? But I'm a best-selling writer. How?
[Luz enters the library, looking generally disinterested.]
King	Luz! I can't write without her!
[King runs up to Luz.]
King	Luz, buddy! I'm so glad you could make it!
Luz	Hey, King, I didn't wanna be angry at your success. You're my friend. So, congratulations!
King	Great to hear, 'cause I really need your help with my next book!
Luz	Huh?
King	Apparently I can't write my daring works of genius without rebelling against your gushy fantasy slop!
Luz	[Blushes, angered.] Excuse me?
King	We make a great team! So, here's a pen. Writey writey, clock's a-tickin'!
[Luz takes the pen and drops it, making the gathered crowd gasp.]
Luz	I'm not writing for you after you made fun of all my ideas!
King	Hey! What the heck?
Luz	[Turns to go.] Congratulations on all your hard earned success. [Leaves.]
King	What am I gonna do? I can't write without her!
Piniet	[Listening behind a bookcase.] Hmm...
[Cut to the forest. Eda and Lilith both run by, panting. A shadow follows them.]
Eda	Ha! Doesn't this remind you of how we used to race to the kitchen, Lilly? Lilly?
Lilith	Mmm! Mmm!
[The camera pans up to show Lilith, wrapped up, being held by a crab-like monster. The monster growls as Lilith tries to free herself.]
Eda	Lilly!
[Eda summons a large fireball. The crab monster goes flying into the distance. Lilith falls into a bush with a muffled yell. Eda helps her up.]
Eda	Alley-Oop!
Lilith	Ugh, thank you Edalyn! I wasn't certain that you'd save me.
Eda	Stow it! Ugh, we might fight, but you're still my sister. And besides, if someone's gonna be putting you down, it's gonna be me. Ha! [Slaps Lilith's back.]
Lilith	[Chuckles; looks to the side, gasps.] Is that?
[Eda presses her face to Lilith's. Through the trees, a glowing pink flower looms.]
Eda	The Bloom of Eternal Youth! [Pushes Lilith.] Alright back off, that baby's mine.
Lilith	[Growls.] Why are you always like this?
Eda	Because Lilith, you think I'm just some tired old biddy. Ah, but I'm more than that. [Magically cuts the flower.] And with the Bloom of Eternal Youth's power, I'll show you!
[The flower disappears from her hand.]
Eda	What the—
[The merchant laughs maniacally. His shadow falls over Eda as he stands atop the stone behind the flower. Lilith walks up next to Eda. Cut to the library, where Luz is going toward the exit. She sees one of the many posters of King around the building.]
Luz	[Sighs.] They got his good angle.
[A shadow falls over her. Two large reptilian-like guards are in front of her.]
Luz	Uh, can I help you?
[The guards step aside to reveal Piniet.]
Piniet	Perhaps. I hear you're an aspiring writer.
[Luz nervously laughs. Cut to the theater in the covention center. The stands are packed. Hanging in the center of the theater is a towering banner for Ruler's Reach 2.]
Crowd	King! King! King!
Boy	I can't wait for the sequel!
Amelia	If it's disappointing in any way, I will spend every day of my life trashing it!
[Cut to King looking at the audience nervously from behind a curtain.]
King	Oh boy. [Paces.] Oh, man, Aw jeez. [Hems and haws.] Hemming. Hawing. Piniet, I gotta come clean. We can't announce book two. I can't write without... without...
Piniet	Without your writing partner?
[Piniet smirks evilly. He and King enter a dressing room. Luz is inside, in a translucent purple box.]
Luz	[Gasps.] King!
King	Luz! [Runs up to her.]
Luz	That snappily dressed lizard trapped me in this shrinking box.
[Piniet tightens his fist. The box shrinks and hits Luz in the head.]
Luz	[Screams and falls.] You gotta get me out!
King	[To Piniet.] What are you doing with her? Let her go!
Piniet	You wrote Ruler's Reach together. So if you don't want her crushed, you'll write together again.
[Luz and King both give him kicked-puppy looks.]
Piniet	Oh, don't give me that look. Some of the best books were written in literal crunch time.
[The box shrinks again.]
Luz	[Yelps.] That's a toxic mentality that contributes to burnout and unrealistic expectations! King, do something!
King	[Growls.] Set her free, now!
Piniet	Not until I get my best-seller. You'll recall you are under contract.
[Piniet pulls the contract out of his jacket. The paper glows. King floats.]
King	Ah! Nyeh!
[A hole opens in the box.]
Luz	Ah! [Backs away from the hole.]
[King is flung through the hole.]
King	Oof!
Piniet	[Drops paper and a pen into the box.] Make your deadline, or you'll never be able to hold a pen again. Just like...
[Piniet holds up Jon De Plume, now shrunk into a cube.]
Jon De Plume	Help me!
King	No!
[Piniet opens a briefcase, in which are dozens of other cubed authors. They scream for help.]
Author #1	Help us!
Author #2	Get us out of here!
[Piniet puts Jon De Plume into an empty slot and closes the briefcase.]
Piniet	I'll leave you to it. [Leaves.] Looking forward to your next volume! [Closes the door.]
[The box shrinks again. Luz and King gasp.]
King	We're not getting out of here until we write a book, and that'll take forever! We're cube meat!
Luz	Well, I have my story.
King	But it's all hugging and crying! I can't put my name on that.
Luz	King, that is why we are in here! Because you can't compromise! [Turns around.] All I wanted was to write a dumb story with my friend.
King	Luz, you're living your dream. You're becoming a witch. But this celebrity is as close as I'll ever get to my dream. It all went to my head, and I hurt you. I'm sorry.
Luz	Hey, [Puts a hand on King's shoulder.] being with you is one of my favorite parts of this dream.
[The box shrinks again.]
Luz	[Yelps.] I have a plan. But we need to work together this time.
King	Just tell me what to do.
[Cut to the forest.]
Merchant	I know you must be confused. The Bloom of Eternal Youth, dead? What if I told you the Bloom never existed at all! And now that I have led you to my nest, I'll suck all the life out of you to satisfy my unending hunger!
Lilith	He scammed us. Can you believe he scammed us?
Eda	I thought there was a 50/50 chance going in. Hard not to admire the tenacity though.
Lilith	Good entrance, but that outfit? Ha!
Eda	Look at his little shoes! [Laughs.]
Lilith	[Laughing.] Stop it.
Merchant	[Covers his shoes.] Well, maybe you've never been led into a lethal trap before, but the response should be, "Aa! No! Spare us!"
[Eda and Lilith share a look.]
Eda	Ah, sure. [Steps onto the dais.] Spare us.
Lilith	[Summons her staff.] Woe to us whose fates are sealed.
[Eda cracks knuckles.]
Merchant	Tha-That's right, witches! Cower! Cower? [Gulps.]
[Cut to the covention hall, where Piniet is stacking the cubed authors into a tower. The tower falls.]
Piniet	Aw, dang.
King	Hey Piniet! We're done!
[The door to the dressing room opens. The box is now so small King has to be under Luz's legs, which are bent in order to fit.]
Piniet	Faster than I expected!
King	That's the miracle of teamwork!
[A hole opens in the top of the box. Luz holds up her manuscript: Luzura and the Shimmering Tears of Love + Hate. "+ Hate" is added in red while the rest is blue. Piniet takes it and flips through part of it. The box shrinks slightly.]
Piniet	This is much more gushy than your last book.
King	Skip to the finale, because it is quite a payoff.
[Piniet rolls his eyes. He keeps reading. Luz and King prepare to move. Piniet gets to the last page.]
Piniet	What is this all about?
[He flips it around to reveal a light glyph drawn on the last page.]
Luz	Light spell!
[Luz reaches through the hole in the box and activates the glyph. The manuscript catches fire and turns into a blinding ball of light that rapidly disappears.]
Piniet	Ugh!
King	Ugh, I just realized I should've said enlightening. "Skip to the finale, you'll find it enlightening."
Luz	King! The contract!
[King's contract is hanging out of Piniet's pocket.]
King	Pretentious scarf, go!
[King uses the scarf as a lasso and pulls Piniet toward them. Luz grabs the contract and rips it in half with her teeth. The box explodes.]
Piniet	I made you a star, and this is how you repay me?
King	No, this is!
[King opens Piniet's briefcase. The cubed authors jump out and attack Piniet, screaming. Luz runs past, carrying King. They run into the two reptilian guards at the door. Piniet frees himself of the authors.]
Piniet	You are making this harder than it needs to be! And believe me, I am being very patient! [Steps on a cubed author.] But let's...
[Piniet pulls a pen from his jacket. He pops the cap off and presses a button. The nib of the pen extends into a large two headed battle axe, which he raises above his head.]
Piniet	...cut to the finish.
[The doors are burst open, sending the guards flying.]
All	[Looking at the door.] Huh?
Tinella Nosa	King! I am your biggest fan! [Runs over a guard, stands between King and Piniet.] And I fought my way back here for you... to read my story?
King	I'm sorry, my lawyer advised me not to look at unsolicited work.
Tinella Nosa	But... but... eep!
Piniet	[Takes her story.] Ugh! If I read this, will you go? So I can annihilate them in peace?
Tinella Nosa	Of course!
[Piniet tosses his battle axe, adjusts his glasses, and slowly reads. Luz and King look at each other, then one of the guards. The guard shrugs. Piniet finishes the story, and is holding back tears.]
Piniet	Oh, it's beautiful! You—You must let me publish this! I can make you a star!
Tinella Nosa	Really?
King	Wait a minute. What about King?
Piniet	Ugh! [Takes King's jacket.] You're old news. She, on the other hand, is the future! [Drapes King's jacket and sunglasses over Tinella Nosa.]
Author #3	Whoo-hoo!
Author #4	Freedom!
King	Hey!
Luz	King! We're good then?
Piniet	[Waves them away.] Yes, quite.
[Luz picks King up and backs out of the dressing room.]
Tinella Nosa	[Shoots off finger guns.] Pachew, pachew.
[Cut to the forest, where the merchant is beat up.]
Eda	Well, we wrecked this chump. But I guess the Bloom of Eternal Youth isn't real. [Sighs.]
Lilith	Well, if it makes any difference, I don't consider you to be a tired old bitty.
Eda	Really?
Lilith	If you were, you'd be much easier to catch.
Eda	Oh great, you're gonna cart me away to the coven now, are you?
Lilith	Not now. Because I want to give you a chance to join on your own! Join me in the Emperor's Coven, Edalyn. [Holds out her hand.] He could even heal your curse.
[Eda's face turns shocked. She slowly extends her hand to Lilith's, but gently pushes it down.]
Eda	No, I'll heal it on my own terms. I don't wanna owe him anything. Catch you later, sis.
Lilith	Not if I catch you first.
Eda	[Smiles; summons her staff.] I'll see you around. [Flies off.]
[Lilith sighs and turns her gaze to the right, looking pensive.]
Merchant	You're welcome for the chance to bond.
[Lilith shoots him with a fire spell. The merchant yells. Cut to the Owl House as Eda lands outside. Luz and King are snoring on the couch until Eda opens the door.]
Eda	Hey, kids. Woof. [Drops her staff, cracks her back.] That was a rough couple days.
Luz	Yeah, I'll say.
Eda	[Sits on the couch.] Ah. Well, nothing a bit of apple blood and a good book can't mend.
Luz	Books?
King	Nope, I don't know nothing about that.
Luz	We hate books. Wow, look at the time!
King	What's a book? Good night!
[Luz does a back-handspring out of the room while King just runs away. Eda watches them go, then notices Ruler's Reach on the coffee table.]
Eda	Huh? What the—
Typewriter	Girl, you do not want to know.
