The first thing that you're taught: Don't get careless, don't be clueless. Don't get caught.

Animal instincts, Murphy has decided, are overrated. Way overrated. She's up in the branches of the Giving Tree, cat-shaped and trying to look inconspicuous and simultaneously find a way down. She had been looking for Gabriel after the whole botched discussion about Why You Do Not Insult Powerful Fae, until she thought she saw something tucked between the roots of the big old oak in much the same way her the Sword was. When she got closer, well. The tree started moving. It's roots did, in any case, and in response... she fled straight up.

She would wonder how this week could get worse, but that seems pretty much like inviting disaster.

Bela, meanwhile, is settled on the banks of the amaranth stream after co-opting several books from the library. Some of these tales are familiar - variant takes on old folktales or famous stories. Some of them she's never seen before, and those are the ones she's examining with particular interest.

Neal Caffrey is on the wall of the barracks, looking for the Doctor and trying to figure out how to turn his little tracking dot off again. He's not the best with technology of any kind (unless it has to do with forging, aging a forgery, printing a forgery, duplicating a seal - you know, practical things), and the communicators, intuitive as they are, are starting to annoy him. He could really do without another lecture right now. Particularly when all he would feel like doing in response to one would be to punch Peter in the face.

At least he left a note this time. If 'Not dead. Not leaving the barracks.' qualifies as a note.
