Tallis sat perched in one of the trees near the greenhouse, his black eyes watching the little girl that danced and sang. Evangeline had told him to be on the lookout for her while she'd gathered plants that hadn't withered and died for the lesson that she'd agreed to with Tilney's daughter. She'd seen the girl around the Edge before and she'd always seemed upbeat and polite -- far more polite than the girl that she'd given lessons to before. She doubted that she'd have to give this child a dose of laxatives to get her point across.
'She's here.' The orange dragon had informed his orange counterpart and she'd made her way back toward the greenhouse. She hadn't been far, so it took her very little time to make it back to the designated meeting spot. Her head dropped down and she placed the plants she'd gathered at her hooves and watched Maude as she glared at her reflection in the glass. 'She's been singing.' The dragon said to his bonded's unspoken question. 'Think she's trying to think up another line.'
Evangeline's ears tilted forward and she listened as Maude began to sing again. She seemed to catch a snag with finding something to rhyme with fair. The Moon Doctor thought for a moment before she began to sing:
"But the Autumn Queen
was just as cold and mean
as she was elegant and fair
and feared by wrong-doers everywhere."
As her voice faded to what she assumed was the end of Maude's song she began to walk toward the girl. "Good morning, Maude." She greeted as Tallis left the tree he'd been perched in. He swopped down to pick up the herbs that Evangeline had left at the edge of the clearing then flew toward his bonded. "I'm Evangeline and this is Tallis." One ear tilted back to the dragon that had settled onto her back. He trilled his own greeting to the girl and peered down at her. "You're here for a lesson, correct?"
