"Good morning, everyone," Steve said. "Sorry I had to cancel last week, something came up at the last minute." He was retired, but when the president called, he still had to answer. "I hope you enjoyed your time off. But we're all here now, and we'll be making dreamcatchers." Steve held up a completed dreamcatcher. You could tell he hadn't made it by how it looked halfway decent. For some reason, competency in this particular skill set eluded him. "Dreamcatchers originated in the Ojibwa culture, where charms based on spiderwebs were hung over infants' cradles to catch bad dreams, allowing only good ones to pass through--and I suspect we could all do with fewer bad dreams. So, normally I would show you how this works, but that would just teach you how to tie your fingers to a hoop. All the materials and instruction sheets you'll need are out, and if you run into trouble, I'll help as best I can. Get to it!"

"Why're you being all formal?" Didi snorted, seeming to decide Del wasn't worth a real response. "You sound like you're on your way to a debutante tea party. Look like it too."

This was coming from a girl in a frilly sundress, yes.

There was a small from on Del's face. "You are avoiding the question. But if you must know, I am just having a very nice day, mind you."

"You look particularly charming today, sister. But, might ask where is your ankh? Such a important part of you should not be left behind."

Didi's hand went to her neck. "That old thing? I got sick of it," she said. "It's back in the cabin or something." She hadn't really been paying attention when she took it off.

Glancing to Del, she added, "I was thinking I might switch it up. Maybe make my sigil a pirate skull. That'd be badass."

Now she was positively worried. "I do hope you have it somewhere safe; sigils are very important, and I should not be telling you this."

The other statement didn't really help to stop Del from worrying. "But then it would not represent who you are."

"Whatever, Delly-belly," Didi said carelessly. "Chill out. I'll find it. Or I'll put some whammy on a rad skull and crossbones. It'll be fine."

She shook her head. "I can't believe you're lecturing me on propriety."

Oh, Del had some things to say to this young lady, suddenly disregarding all that meant to be and Endless. But, she decided it was better to hold. Didi surely come to her senses. "I hope it will." Because seriously.

The sister shook her head in return. "I can not believe you are not lecturing yourself o property."

"I'm bored with always being right," Didi said, and rolled her eyes. "I wanna have some fun for once. That's all. You can take over as Miss Goody-Two-Shoes."

... oh, she was going to be furious at herself in the morning.

"Well sister, I pretend to do just that."

On the other side, Del might even consider it fun in retrospective. She'll probably eat a couple of soaps for all the proper words she had been saying that day.
