HARMONIA:
Oh pardon me, Karanthir, what in the world are ya doing?

KARANTHIR:
Just looking for something.

HARMONIA:
Same here. By any chance - have ya seen any fairies today?

KARANTHIR:

Thankfully no. Have you seen Cammeo’s doll?

HARMONIA:
Ya mean Charlotte? I had the displeasure of
starring at that doll half the night, just waiting
for Herita to show herself.  She didn’t. 

KARANTHIR:
Orrie actually spoke with her yesterday.

HARMONIA:
That doesn’t surprise me at all. That boy’s gifted. 

KARANTHIR:
Of course he is. After all he is my brother. I’m  
only beginning to realize the extent of his … gift. 

KARANTHIR:
… Anyway - he said Herita was hiding in the doll. I felt
her presence, but it never occurred to me that she
would be anything other than herself.

KARANTHIR:
…We have unfinished business, she and I.
Where’s the doll now?

HARMONIA:
Louisa took it to the Committee.
Are ya sure you ain’t seen no fairy today?

KARANTHIR:
Madam, I try to stay as far away from Wysh as possible. 

HARMONIA:
Wysh? You know this fairy by name?

KARANTHIR:
How could I not? She attached herself to
Miss Phae and we can’t seem to get free of her.

HARMONIA:
So she’s been in this house since ya’ll came back
from the Elvin realm? Cheese and crackers -
did my sister know about this?

KARANTHIR:
I wouldn’t know. Honestly, what does it matter anyway?

HARMONIA:
I believe this fairy is the cause of Cammeo’s doll
becoming possessed by Herita.

KARANTHIR
Really? I was under the impression that fairy
magic isn’t that powerful.

HARMONIA:
It isn’t, unless the fairy uses a wand
- which would amplify anything she went and did.

KARANTHIR:
Well that’s just peachy - Wysh has a trunk full of wands. 

HARMONIA:
Sweet Mary, I need to find this Wysh now.

KARANTHIR:
Forgive me for what I’m about to do … 

KARANTHIR:
…WYSH!

Wysh’s house in Phae’s room …

WYSH:
Oh my! That sounds like Karanthir calling me.
He’s never done that before. Hehehehehe 

WYSH:
…It must be very important. I must make haste.

Back in the kitchen …

HARMONIA:
Ya could’ve given me some warning before ya went and
hollered like that. Nearly scared me to death.

KARANTHIR:
My apologies, but it worked - here she comes.

WYSH:
You called me Karanthir?  I got here as fast as …

KARANTHIR:
Wysh this is Harmonia. Harmonia meet Wysh.

WYSH:
Oooooh a lady with great power …

HARMONIA:
Never mind that, did you put Herita into Cammeo’s doll? 

WYSH:
Herita? Oh yes - Cammeo’s family. I thought I did, but I haven’t seen
any proof of it yet. Did she arrive? Then Cammeo’s happy again.
I’m so glad I could  help.  

HARMONIA:
Ya’ll helped all right, and now you’re gonna help again
by reversing what ya did in the first place. 

WYSH:

But why?

HARMONIA:
Cammeo doesn’t want Herita here. You misunderstood her.
So you’re going to send her back, ya hear.

WYSH:
But, I don’t think I have a wand for that.

HARMONIA:
Show me them wands Wysh. We’ll find the right
one even if we have to try them all.

WYSH:
You want to see my wand collection? Oh, I’d be so
honored to show them all to you. I’ve beencollecting
themforalongtime. I keeptheminmyhouse.

HARMONIA:
Swell. Now lead the way. I’m right behind ya.

WYSH:
Yes, ohyesgreat and powerful sorceress ….

HARMONIA:
Karanthir, you can stay put. I’ll take care of this. 

KARANTHIR:
Right.

KARANTHIR:
… As if I’d allow myself to be led about by a fairy in
the first place. I mean really. 

KARANTHIR:
You.

CHARLOTTE:
Uh-oh ….
