[Road is staring down her communicator with a mischievous glint in her eyes, humming what might be a familiar tune to some people.]

But it's none by none now, isn't it? They didn't do such a good job of...

[She stops as a far too large snake slithers its way over one of her shoulders. By all rights it should have crushed her, but the only change in Road is her chiding tone.]

You shouldn't interrupt me when I'm talking, Len-Len! You're getting too big too...hmm, how old are you now? Maybe we should have a birthday party for you. We could have invited Drusilla if she was still here, she'd have wanted to come after helping me buy you. But people keep on leaving and it's not fair.

[The fit of temper that follows as she bangs one small fist against the table knocks the device to the side. The only thing that can be seen is Len-Len making a swift escape, and Road doesn't bother continuing with what she was saying, her device cutting out.]

~~A party for a snake?~~

People have always been leaving.

But now it's even worse!

...someone close to you left, Road?

Tyki did, and it's not the first time but now he hasn't come back yet.

They always leave here, don't they- ...what were you humming?

They do but they shouldn't...it's only an old rhyme, why?

I've heard it before, I think, but I can't place it. An old rhyme, hm. Strange.

Now, that is a revelation. Did someone important leave?

A rhyme, a tune, does it matter, Rip?

No. But Tyki hasn't come back yet. [And she's probably not going to stop pitching fits until he does.]

Of course it does! These things have meaning.

Ah, I understand. Nothing to be done about that than to wait and see, is there. It's rather tedious, all this selective coming and disappearing.
