Title: Activist
Prompt: Holly


That woman was back. As spokesperson for the Benignant Society she had expended hours condemning the conditions of their cells. While chairman of the Freedom Association she inundated the Watch with petitions to ban Cheery's 'unproven' for-en-sics. Currently, paper was being emphatically waved at the Commander while she dropped phrases like 'accountability' and 'due process' the way the lastest theatre starlet would drop pounds.

Nobby may not know many things but he did know what would happen to someone who ate holly berries. Gleefully he crushed three red fruits into the steaming teacup and carried the drink to their guest.


[NB: From Wikipedia "Holly berries are somewhat toxic and will cause vomiting and/or diarrhoea when ingested by people, partly due to the ilicin content"]
