p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"A full week after South's arrival, Dr. Leonard Church, Sr. was coming home./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"The entire farm was bursting with energy, even the taurs with their own plots of land for their families, who rarely came up to the main farm. A huge part waited at the gates as the van drove up, cheering when the doctor stepped out and waved. South watched from the library window, face pressed against the glass as she watched everyone celebrate. She didn't know the Director too well, outside of what she'd been taught in school: possibly the most powerful advocate for taur rights, lead great strides in the studies of taur reproduction, blah blah blah. South never really cared for taur stuff in school; she could always learn the real thing from her family, if she ever wanted to./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"Church Junior was the only person who'd stayed behind with South and Siris, tapping away at his laptop. He'd claimed he was digitizing the records, but the smile that crossed his face told her that he was slacking off at least a little bit. Siris himself was seated in the far corner, looking over the files they had pulled out for him without a peep./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"South watched as the doctor was herded through the, well, herd, stopping once every so often to hug someone. He was coming to the library to speak with her and discuss plans and whatnot; she was too tired to listen to Carolina talk down to her at the time. It took five minutes for the Director to finally break through the crowd and reach the house, and another two before he entered the library, flanked by Carolina./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"Christ, he'd gotten old. His once gleaming black hair was now dull and lined with grey and bright green eyes were weighed down by dark bags. He still held himself like a military officer, back straight, but anyone could see the weariness in his pose, like he was trying to keep from falling over every second he stood. Even his grey jacket and gloves made him look tired. It made South feel a little sorry for the old man, just recovering from a heart attack and being forced to deal with the newest catastrophe straight after./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"If it bothered him, however, he didn't show it. As soon as they locked eyes, the Director smiled brightly at South. "South! I wasn't expecting you to be here. Where's Reggie?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"The room grew tense. Carolina placed a hand on her father's shoulder and whispered, "Wyoming passed away six years ago, director. You attended the funeral, remember?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"The doctor looked confused for a good minute before realization crossed his face. "Oh, right. I… Ahem. What brings you here, South?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""... I thought it'd be pretty obvious," said South, looking between Carolina and Church for an explanation./p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""Dad's memory has been going bad," Church said. "They think it might be dementia, but we aren't sure. Just try to be gentle with him and be prepared to explain yourself a few times. If we're lucky, he'll actually remember this conversation."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"While Church had been talking, Carolina filled in Dr. Church on the situation so South wouldn't have to explain herself all over again. Something seemed to click in his brain, bringing him into a moment of lucidity. The shift was almost immediate, going from confused father to an intense scientist. "Transformation magic of that caliber was destroyed before I was born. It's black magic; we could get in trouble simply for harboring South."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""You aren't suggesting we throw her back to the wolves? The government would kill to get their hands on her. The only reason they didn't experiment on her the first time was because you said there was no magic involved."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""And there wasn't. South's birth was completely natural, despite being premature; we couldn't find any magical signatures."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""That's because he knows how to cover his tracks," said Siris, not looking up from the file he'd been on for the past few minutes. "Nice to finally meet you, sir."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"Dr. Church jumped, apparently unaware of Siris's presence, though she didn't blame him. The fucker could blend in easily if he wanted to. "You… you're Siris? The informant?"/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"He nodded. "Yessir. I'm sure you'll forgive me for encrypting my messages."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""It was a necessary precaution. I'm surprised you were even able to send anything, with what I've heard about your own curse."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""You know a lot, sir. Makes it a lot easier on me."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""Alright, can someone please tell me what the fuck he's talking about?" South growled. "I know about the curse or whatever it is, but nobody's told me jack shit about it other than 'em oh, I can't say anything if you don't already know! /em'"/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"The Director smiled and pushed his glasses up his nose. "I don't know the origins, but Siris was cursed by a silencing spell. He can only reveal information if the person he's speaking to knows exactly what he means. It's used by black market traders to keep their employees from giving out sensitive information."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""I don't really understand. Siris has told me plenty of stuff."/p

"And your curse, or whatever this is, was cast by the same person who bound Siris. The magic in him recognized you, giving you access to things he'd otherwise not even be able to hint at."/p
p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;"South made a face. "I… I think I get it. Fuck, I'm tired of magic."/p

p style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.8004px;""Is that… fur?" Carolina whispered, reaching out to touch it. The director flinched, but let her run her hand along it./p
