>Barkley owns. I will hear no ill spoken of him or his noble name.
>"You know about Jigen?"
>This is true, but still, your name is Berkeley and you like it that way!
>She shakes her head. "I've only heard the adults talking about it before. Her name is Jigen? That sounds all strange," and she giggles. Oh my god you just wanna pinch her cheeks and go coochie coochie coo~. But that'd be mean, so you won't.
>As you reach the entrance to the town again, Stella starts pointing out the buildings and who lives in them. "That one, next to the garden; that's where me and my parents live! My mom is a seamstress, and she can make dyes from the flowers. A lot of the flowers have been dying recently though, so we don't have new stuff. She also kinda runs a store."
"Next to our house is Rose, who's an artist, and then there's the library... it's been magically sealed since everyone moved here though, so no one's been inside it before."
"Then, there's the house where the family that manages the farm lives... then there's Gestrel's house, oh he's such a big meanie, almost as bad as Estelle! And that house is where Veronica lives, she's been studying all kinds of magic recently. She says she's a witch-in-training."
"The last three are Sister Masha's house, which is kinda like a church. Then Dimitri, a guy who collects stuff... then Midori's house, which is like a restaurant. Oh, and she's got a pet kitty, and a fairy who helps cook!"
>Oooh god all that information. Does she really expect you to remember all that? Well, maybe you can just take it slow and get used to them one at a time...
