The Hippo Hippo Shake? Sophia rolled her eyes. Saucepan was apparently up to his old puns again. "Alak and I have champagne." she repsonded to his query, "and as for Menelien..." she shook her head, "whatever it was there was too much of it. Will you join us?" she asked, recalling his earlier preference for tea.
"And would you join us too?" she asked, turning to Earwen. She caught a glimpse of Chicken sulking in a corner, and burst out into another fit of giggles. "We had nothing to do with the chicken incident." she told Saucepan in a low voice.
"Aaah!" he said in a tone of great wisdom, nodding his head.
