On Sunday, Nella woke up Tina and Evelyn so they could get ready for the trip. Nella was really excited to see the mountain, Evelyn was also curious about that. Tina saw different areas of the mountain a few times by now and it didn't bother her. She just wanted a fun day with her friends. After they got dressed, they arrived at the main room, Sadie and Wade were already there smooching on the couch. "I'm assuming this is Wade?" Nella muttered, that wasn't what they planned to see that early in the morning.
"Yes, and from what I saw in Monday they might do this all day long." Tina whispered.
"Make sense. In our trip they could do that all the time and no one would ask them to stop." Evelyn mentioned.
"We can ask them." Tina suggested.
"No, I want this trip, don't ruin this to me." Nella stated.
"Besides, it's probably won't help. My cousin Alexander and his girlfriend Myrtice always do that too and they won't stop even if you'll ask," Evelyn sighed.
"Girls! You arrived!" Sadie noticed finally and stopped kissing Wade; she was really red when she understood the girls saw them.
"Hello, I'm Wade Adamson, nice to meet you, girls." He smiled at them, he didn't know them so it was less awkward for him.
"I'm Evelyn Ferlet and these are Nella Everglade and Tina Goldstein, nice to meet you too." Evelyn smiled, she knew how to speak with people, and her cousin did the same with her girlfriend.
"You're ready? We should go grab something to eat and go to the mountain, I don't really know where there are flowers," Sadie admitted.
"Wait you don't? You didn't go to trips on the mountain or something?" Nella asked.
"No, not really, I moved to the Orphanage only at the summer." Sadie mentioned.
"I got there in April; I also don't really know where there are flowers. I think there are some near the shacks of the teachers but I'm not sure if it's going to be enough." Tina mentioned.
"So, how we supposed to find them?" Nella groaned.
"Just walk on the mountain?" Wade mentioned.
"How about I bring my broom and I'll fly around so we could find them faster?" Evelyn suggested.
"Houston, that is a great idea!" Nella called, smiling.
"I know," Evelyn smiled widely and went back to the hallway.
"I should've brought my broom as well, can't believe I left it at home. Maybe I should bring it after Christmas." Nella complained.
"If You're not in flying lessons or in one of the sports teams you really don't have a reason to that." Sadie told her.
Evelyn came back with the broom in her hand, "We should go now."
"Yes, we need to take some sandwiches with us before." Sadie reminded them.
They went to take some food for the rest of the day and went out the castle. Evelyn quickly went up on the broom and started to fly above them. "You see anything?" Nella shouted.
"No, not yet!" Evelyn yelled back.
"I told you, it's near the shacks, we should go there." Tina mentioned again.
"And where are the shacks?" Nella asked impatiently.
"Follow my lead," Tina sighed. They walked for a few minutes; it was a shorter walk then the one to the Orphanage. When they got to the shacks, they didn't saw any flowers. "I don't understand, there were flowers here back in May. I won't forget it, they smelled like a rotting meat."
"Disgusting, now I'm glad the flowers wilted. I'm going to assume the flower you saw, is spring plant and they don't bloom in autumn." Nella explained.
"I don't see any flowers in this area, but there are so many shacks, how many of the professors live here?" Evelyn landed her broom. There were plenty of shacks there, more then you could count in a single look.
"Everyone with families, which are most of the professors. The kids grow up on the mountain, and they actually study basic reading in the Orphanage." Sadie explained. Tina wondered how Queenie haven't mention this, or why they didn't notice it last year.
"You know, they are not only professors they are also parents, Pablo is in my room, he has always reminded us that Professor Calderon-Boot is his mother. The professors also have a private life, the Protts had a child two years ago, teaching did not stop them from having families." Wade said.
The three girls stared at him; they really couldn't imagine Sophie as a mother. "Yes, most of the teachers have kids." Sadie clarified.
"We should continue, if the flowers are not here, we need to go somewhere else." Nella reminded everyone. Evelyn went up on the broom again while the others walked.
"Why do you love flowers so much, Nella?" Wade wondered.
"I'm from the Everglades, you can't live there without loving the nature, it's part of the environment." Nella smiled.
"So, you live in the middle of the swamps?" Wade asked.
"Yeah, that why she is a swamp girl." Evelyn called from above.
"Evelyn always called Nella that way." Tina explained and Nella nodded.
"Yes, it's their inner joke," Sadie sighed.
"It's started to seem you are more exhausted than my room." Wade joked.
"Yes, they really are." Sadie laughed.
"Hey, we are sweet!" Nella called.
"What room you are responsible at if you think we are exhausted?" Tina wondered.
"The second boys' room in your year, with 'the E triplets', Clarence and Seth." Wade mentioned.
"The E triplets?" Evelyn asked, lower her flight a bit.
"You know, Emmet, Elton and Everett, that's how they called themselves because their name started with E, it's their room's inner joke." Wade laughed.
"We never heard them calling themselves that way." Nella told him.
"So, why you complain about us? Male Prott transfigured Clarence into a hawk, and female Prott hates Elton, they are do much more trouble than us." Tina crossed her arms.
"She is right," Sadie laughed.
"I did need to deal with the hawk story but Prott do this every year, so it's wasn't surprising and all the seventh-years who took a room of first-years knew they might have to deal with it." Wade explained.
"How do they choose who is responsible on each room?" Evelyn yelled at them, asking.
"Well, it's depends on couple of things..." Sadie started.
"First, there are students who wants to be responsible on their siblings' rooms..." Wade continued. Tina and Nella shared a look, that was weird.
"Like Perdita on Imogen's room and Pablo on Miguel's room." Sadie finished their example.
"After everyone who wanted a specific room received it, the No-Maj-borns received rooms with first years No-Maj-borns so we could help them adjust, that why I got the room with Elton and you got Sadie." Wade told them.
"So, since you're a No-Maj-borns, you get a room with other No-Maj-borns?" Nella asked.
"Precisely, and then they just giving the other rooms randomly, some wants to be responsible on their friends so they could also choose the rooms, but it's really doesn't matter, with the older years." Sadie finished to explained.
"I think I found something!" Evelyn called.
"What?" Nella called and ran forward.
"There is a weird white flower there." Evelyn lowered her flight next to the flowers.
"Alright, that seems a special flower." Nella smiled as she started picking up the white flowers.
"Aren't flowers and plants supposed to have green in them?" Sadie asked.
"Yes, they are." Wade approved.
"Maybe it's a magical plant," Tina shrugged.
"No, I chose Herbology and Moss haven't mention something like this at all." Wade told them.
"I don't care, but I really need other species too, this one is not colorful enough." Nella stated and finished putting the flowers in her handbag.
"Let's continue, I'm starting to enjoy it, it's a shame Professor Moss doesn't do trips like this in class." Wade sighed.
"I'll convince her to do us trips!" Nella declared.
"Good luck in that," Tina laughed.
After they went next to withered flowers, Nella had enough. "Houston, I need to find normal flowers!" Nella called.
"I'm sorry I didn't think the flowers are dried," Evelyn apologized from the sky, "Hey, I see a bunch of kids here."
That's attract Tina's attention, they were outside on the mountain for a few hours by now, and she knew the Orphanage has a walk trip every Sunday before lunch. Tina approached to Evelyn quickly and then she saw the few kids who was still under eleven she recognized very well with Ms. Juniper. Most of the kids in the Orphanage were at Ilvermorny, so, they weren't many in this trip. "Teenie! I didn't expect to see you two days in row!" Queenie called after she noticed her. Evelyn landed on the ground.
"Sadie, Tina, what a surprise to see you here," Ms. Juniper told the girls. Wade grabbed Sadie's hand very tightly and she kissed him on his cheek, like she tries to sign him something.
Queenie released Tina from her grip and looked at the other girls. "You must be Nella Everglade and Evelyn Ferlet."
"Yes, nice to meet you, Tina's sister." Nella smiled at her.
"I'm Queenie," she told them looking directly at them, scanning them.
"Queenie, don't." Tina told her and grabbed her shoulder.
"What? I just introduced myself to your roommates." Queenie mentioned.
"Don't worry Tina, we're glad to meet her, I can't wait you'll meet my siblings." Nella said. Tina took Queenie to the side so they could talk, still watching everyone else.
"I did not read their mind!" Queenie called, defending herself.
"I saw your eyes, how you looked at them, I know how you're acting." Tina argued.
"Alright, but I was curious to meet them, reading people's mind is how I get to know them." Queenie reminded her.
"So, read what's going on with Sadie and Wade." Tina offered.
"You want I read someone's mind? Are you alright?" Queenie wondered.
"Just do it, don't annoy me." Tina rolled her eyes.
Queenie looked at the couple, "Since when Sadie has a boyfriend?"
"They broke up because he didn't like she moved to the Orphanage, they only returned to date not long ago." Tina explained.
"They are a mess right now. Wade only started to get use to Sadie decision, but the last thing he was needed to see was the Orphanage because he still processing everything. He feels like he going to lose Sadie any moment and she feels the same. She doesn't want to upset him, so she doesn't want to speak Ms. Juniper right now. Luckily the kids don't know her at all, so they won't talk to her." Queenie finished processing their minds.
"Is that a Moontrimmer?" Lester asked with glittering eyes, gesturing the broom and ran to Evelyn. He attracted the sisters' attention and they stopped their conversation.
"Yes, ordered from Britain." Evelyn smirked.
"How could you get it, there is a huge waiting list to get it." Lester said.
"My family knows how to get good brooms." Evelyn smirked.
Lester glanced at Tina and Queenie who were nearby but far so no one hear them and then realized who this girl was, "You're Evelyn Ferlet, right?!"
"Yes, I do," She nodded with a proud smile.
"I'm a huge fan of your family." Lester blurted out.
"Lester, please calm down, you can't charge on someone." Ms. Juniper told him.
"That's alright, ma'am, it's part of the family I grow up. It's nice of you to love my family, it's always a pleasure to be recognized." Evelyn smiled; she was really enjoyed it.
"Now you do want to know what Evelyn thinks?" Queenie chuckled.
"I did not say that," Tina muttered.
"Right, but you thought that, you want to know if she just nice to Lester or really likes it." Queenie crossed her arms, like she won this argument.
"Fine," Tina whispered.
"She honestly like it, her family always getting the attention, and Evelyn barely shown in public, so she always waited for the moment people would recognize her." Queenie said, happy to read someone's mind and not getting lectured from her sister about privacy.
"Do you want to fly on the broom with me?" Evelyn offered him after few moments of silence, she really thought about this idea for some time before offer it.
Lester was speechless, he just nodded excitedly. "I don't think it's a good idea, Evelyn" Sadie finally said something.
"What, he deserves to do some fun." Evelyn shrugged.
"I can't believe I'm going to fly on a broom!" Lester shrieked.
"You never flew before?" Evelyn wondered.
"No, but I always wanted to," he mentioned honestly.
"Alright, jump on." Evelyn gestured him to sit on the broom Lester quickly sat and she kicked the ground and they moved up.
The rest of the kids in the Orphanage saw it and ran to stood below the broom. "I also want to fly too!" Elmo called.
"So do I!" Curtis, a seven years old boy, added.
"Don't worry, I'll let all of you time on my broom!" Evelyn yelled at them and waved. Lester was really happy, like it was the best day in his life.
"Kids, I don't think it's a good idea, Lester, I think you should come down." Ms. Juniper tried to calm them down.
"No, no we are going to fly!" Five years old girl which named Lumina called.
"Cornelia, we also deserve to do some fun sometimes." Xanthe, the oldest child, who'll start Ilvermorny next year, said.
"Queenie, are you coming? We are going to fly on a broom!" It was Grace, she was eight years old and has an older brother in Ilvermorny.
"No, I'm not going to do something like this. She's my sister's roommate after all." Queenie told her.
"Why not? Garfield's roommates are very nice, they would agree to do this too." Grace mentioned.
"Yes, but Evelyn didn't plan to meet us, it's all coincidence." Queenie reminded her.
"Yes! We were here to search for flowers! I can't believe she is doing this!" Nella groaned while she approached Tina and Queenie.
Grace didn't say anything else and returned to the rest of the kids. "Then stop her. I don't want her to do this, it's like intruded my private life." Tina told Nella.
"It's not charity." Queenie stated, she waited for Grace to leave to blurt this out.
"She acted like that what she does." Tina mentioned.
"Not on purpose. She always knew she grew up in a famous family, but she never had the attention before, it's her first time. She just glad to have kids admire her. It's not related to you or the Orphanage." Queenie mentioned.
"Wait, really you got offended by that?" Nella asked.
"Look, it's like the famous Ferlet giving a fun day to the poor Orphanage kids, so yes, it's not nice from her to do." Tina groaned.
"This boy approached to her and she just wanted to make him happy, she has good intention, but I really can't believe she giving them to fly on her broom before she let me do this," Nella complained.
"It's not a reason to fight with Evelyn. She doesn't know how you feeling about that. You already not talking with Hazel, you can't be mad at Evelyn too in the same time." Queenie scolded Tina out of nowhere, forgetting that Nella is there.
"Your sister is right, you should listen her, she knows what to say, I hate your argument with Hazel, I don't want to be in the middle of you two either! I'm not letting you fight with Evelyn too, just forget she did it," Nella added.
"Thanks." Queenie smiled to Nella.
Tina rolled her eyes, "Fine, I won't say anything."
After all the kids flew on the broom Ms. Juniper rushed then back to the Orphanage. The kids thanked Evelyn and walked away. "Queenie, we are going come on." Cornelia called her.
"I need to go, enjoy your trip, don't ruin all your friendship you have in Ilvermorny." Queenie whispered to Tina while she hugged her and ran away before Tina said anything. Queenie didn't need Tina's reaction; she could hear it in her mind.
"Do you know where are flowers on the mountain?" Nella asked Ms. Juniper before she go with the kids back to the Orphanage.
"Continue down the road, I think you'll found some flowers." Ms. Juniper answered and they all walked away.
"Let me fly." Nella demanded from Evelyn after the five of them stayed alone.
"My broom had enough other kids on it." Evelyn told her.
"Yes, you let bunch of kids you don't know to fly on your broom and didn't allow me even once!" Nella called.
"Alright, sit behind me." Evelyn shrugged. Nella wrapped her hands around Evelyn's waist and they went back up.
"Why the broom doesn't fly higher?" Nella wondered as they started to went up.
"I think you too heavy for my broom," Evelyn told her.
"It's just tired after you let a bunch of kids flew on it." Nella told her back.
"Or it's allergic to your swamp stink!" Evelyn offered another explanation.
Tina stared them, they left her alone to walk only with Sadie and Wade who was very close to each other, like Queenie said, meeting the Orphanage stressed them out. Now, she remembered why she was always with Hazel, because when Nella and Evelyn are together they are inseparable.
"Look, there are foxgloves! Yes, one of my favorite flowers! I'm so glad they grow on this mountain too! Fly down." Nella ordered Evelyn.
"I'm so not letting you fly with me again! It's not working, my broom is tired." Evelyn told her right after they landed on the ground.
"You found normal flowers, Nella?" Sadie asked after she Tina and Wade arrived the area.
"Yes, I'm so glad I found foxgloves! They are amazing flowers! One of my favorites!" Nella picked the flowers to her handbag.
"Maybe we should stop for lunch." Wade suggested and sat on the ground.
"Good idea," Tina stated.
They took out the sandwiches and ate them. Nella was much calmer because she finally found normal flowers, so she didn't mind to rest a bit.
"I love this mountain, it's so fun you two live here." Nella muttered, she decided to lay down between the flowers, without her shoes.
"If you love to walk with bare foot why you took your shoes today?" Evelyn wondered.
"Because climbing on a mountain is not that easy, I thought it's preferred I'll have shoes." Nella shrugged.
"Foxgloves are useful for potions, I should take some myself." Wade decided and got up, leaving Sadie and Tina alone.
"Are you alright?" Sadie asked Tina.
"Yes, why I won't be?" Tina muttered.
"Well, you seem alone, I'm with Wade all the time and Nella and Evelyn just talk with each other this all trip and you don't have anyone who give you attention. Besides, what Nella just said about living on the mountain, us meeting the kids from the Orphanage and Evelyn taking them to fly on her broom, you got reminded several times today that you are an orphan. And I don't need to be a Legilimens to know it's hard for you." Sadie stated.
"I always forgot to ask; how did you realize Queenie is a Legilimens? Because I'm working so hard to hide it." Tina wondered, completely changing the subject.
"You were new so of course you couldn't know how things work in the Orphanage when a new kid arrived. I asked Della and other No-Maj-borns who chose the same before I made my decision. They don't say anything about the new kid who came, nothing at all. You can find out why someone in the Orphanage only if you ask directly. You knew I'm No-Maj-born, something you shouldn't know. After I saw how Queenie acted, I assumed she is a Legilimens, she knew about me things she wasn't supposed to know." Sadie explained.
Tina blushed, "We thought there were rumors and that something everyone know, so I didn't try that hard not letting her talk to you."
"Most of the kids knew anyway because of Ilvermorny, but the younger kids, didn't supposed to hear about this at all, and you heard that." Sadie said.
"How are you feeling? Wade seems on edge since we met the Orphanage." Tina stated.
"He hates my decision, and he also got a reminder of it from this meeting. Something that you probably knew because Queenie read my mind or else you wouldn't ask me that?" Sadie realized.
"I told you I'm trying to hide it, she talked about things she shouldn't know about Evelyn near Nella. It was luck Nella didn't realize it." Tina muttered.
"Well, it's not like she knows anything about Legilimency yet, not that the slight mention Professor Sophie Prott do in first year about that would give her enough information to realize Queenie is a Legilimens." Sadie shrugged.
"When we learned about that in History?" Tina wondered.
"Probably in the next lesson, she hasn't finish to teach you about Salazar Slytherin yet." Sadie told her.
"We should continue." Nella told Tina and Sadie stopping their conversation.
"You don't have enough flowers already?" Evelyn asked her.
"No, I don't, we found only two flowers I need more, at least five." Nella said, started walking.
"I see more purple flowers!" Evelyn mentioned.
"More Foxglove? I took a lot of Foxgloves." Nella groaned but still continue so she could see the flowers. "It's not Foxglove, it's Fireweed! I always wanted to see those; they aren't growing in Florida!"
"Great, so here you go." Evelyn smiled.
"I'm glad we started locate useful flowers after all this time." Nella stated.
"So, we can go back?" Wade asked.
"No, no, I needed flowers in another colors." Nella told him.
"You have the white ones." Tina reminded her.
"They not really a flower they are more like stalks." Nella said.
"Just remember we should go back soon; we want to arrive back to Ilvermorny before the dark and we have a long way back." Sadie mentioned.
"Just two more flowers, then we'll go back." Nella begged.
"Alright, two more flowers." Sadie allowed her to continue.
Evelyn decided to walk with them a bit because she flew enough. "If you are walking, can I fly alone at your broom?" Nella asked.
"No! I'm not letting you fly alone on it! You should have brought your broom with you." Evelyn told her.
"I'll bring it back in Christmas and we'll do a flying race." Nella decided.
"It's not going to be a good idea." Wade told them.
"Yes, you should do this in the summer holiday. No one going to let you do this in Ilvermorny." Sadie added.
"Alright, so we won't do it. They anyway come to my house in the summer." Nella shrugged.
"Yes, it's can be fun," Evelyn nodded.
After some time of walking, they saw white flowers. "This is a real white flower," Nella stated and went to pick it up.
"I still wonder why the other one wasn't green. I'll ask Professor Moss, maybe she knows." Wade mentioned.
"Flowers are interesting." Nella shrugged.
"I think it's enough; we should start our way back; we can walk in another road and maybe we'll find another flower." Sadie decided, it was starting to be late.
Nella groaned but didn't argue as they all started to walk back to Ilvermorny. "Tina, you want to fly on the broom too? Your sister didn't come with the rest of the kids." Evelyn stated.
"Because she preferred to be with me instead. Flying on a broom is not something that important to us." Tina shrugged.
"If you regret just tell me, you could enjoy fly a bit, see the view." Evelyn told her.
"I think Professor Moss said Jewelweed grow up on the mountain as well, I wonder why we haven't found them." Wade said to Nella.
"Because it's a huge mountain," Sadie reminded him.
"I know that, but still I thought we would also find Jewelweed." Wade mentioned.
"Foxglove and Jewelweed are grow up here, so they don't need to order it from the Everglades, there are plenty here on the mountain for all the potions." Nella explained.
"With all your talking about this flower we'll probably see it soon." Evelyn chuckled. Somehow, she was right, in the middle of the way back to Ilvermorny they saw bunch of orange flowers.
"Here is the Jewelweed we talked about." Wade pointed at the flowers.
"Even I recognized them, we did use them in potions." Sadie smiled.
"Great, now we can finish our trip, I think I found enough flowers for my pumpkin." Nella nodded to herself.
"And this trip is over." Tina said.
"Come on, it's not like you suffered." Nella stated.
"No, no, but it was exhausted." Evelyn told her.
"Let's go back to the castle." Sadie urged them, they were really tired.
After they returned to the castle Tina went to Phiri's room, she was very lucky to find her there because everyone else went to eat dinner. "I'm glad you're here." Tina told her, leaning on the door.
"Tina, nice to see you," Phiri smiled at her, looking up from her pumpkin.
"Who do you give the pumpkin to?" Tina wondered.
"I got Lonnie. You want some chocolate pumpkins? The pumpkin is already full with candies." Phiri handed her one.
"Thanks," Tina approached to take it.
"So, how was your trip on the mountain?" Phiri asked.
"Great," Tina muttered.
"You want to tell me what went bad? Because your voice said the opposite." Phiri noted.
"I just need someone to talk with. I felt not related to anyone because Sadie brought her boyfriend and Nella and Evelyn were together all the time." Tina told her and sat on her bed.
"You miss Hazel." Phiri realized and sat next to her.
"I'm still angry, today I just felt alone, we became close because Nella and Evelyn became close so we needed to be that way with each other, not because we actually chose to be friends, we're just roommates." Tina muttered.
"But look at my roommates, we aren't close, you became friends because you wanted to be. If Evelyn wanted, she would be only with the Quodpot team. I do think you and Hazel got along." Phiri shrugged.
"Pearl was right I don't know how get friends." Tina sighed.
"Wait, why are you saying that?" Phiri asked her.
"We met the Orphanage kids today, and Evelyn just let them fly on her broom and then Nella was enthusiastic from the flowers and mentioned it's fun we live on the mountain the whole year. It's like I can't run from it." Tina cried.
"So, Hazel was just the first one who accidently mention this, they all don't know what to do with it and how to act." Phiri guessed what Tina was trying to say.
"Yes, exactly." Tina nodded.
"You didn't had friends in the Orphanage? That why pearl said you didn't have friends in the Orphanage?" Phiri asked.
"We were most of the time with each other, I didn't feel it was right to start to know other kids, I wasn't in the mood for that," Tina explained.
"Or you just were in denial, if you would make friends in the Orphanage, it would mean that real, that your parents are dead and as long as you didn't make friends in the Orphanage it wasn't real. But now, you can't avoid it with your friends in Ilvermorny, you'll feel it, you need to feel the lost if you want to make any process." Phiri lectured her.
"Wow, you and Queenie could be good friends, she told me exactly that too," Tina muttered.
"Because it's true, I saw that with my cousin after she moved to live with us, she barely talked to us. I also might mention something not pleasant about that, I'm trying to be careful but you can't really control it, and none of your roommates can help you if you won't tell what you need from them and how to act. If you got offended by them, talk to them and explain this, don't let them guess and start to fight with them for nothing. They can't know what you are going through." Phiri reminded her.
"You're right, thanks, I needed this conversation." Tina told her.
"I can see that, now we should go eat dinner." Phiri stated and grabbed Tina's hand so she would get up from the bed and walk with her.
Author note:
Tina was a fifth wheel in the trip, I wanted to show her that she needed Hazel, because with Nella and Evelyn alone she will always be a third wheel.
Ms. Juniper is not the only worker at the Orphanage, I'm just too lazy to invent another one until I had too. Probably in Christmas you'll meet the other stuff at the Orphanage.
I didn't decide on an actual number of kids in the Orphanage, but I think it's something like fifty kids, and the No-Maj-borns are half of them. So, most of the time, the Orphanage has something like ten kids under eleven.
I researched for hours about flowers in Mountain Greylock, these are the flowers which mentioned in the chapter by their order:
Trillium Erectum-the stinky flower.
Monotropa Uniflora-the white weird flower, it's doesn't have chlorophyll.
Impatiens Pallida-it's bloom is until September so I thought the flower only withered not long ago.
Agalinis Purpurea-Foxgloves
Chamaenerion Angustifolium-Fireweed
Chelone Glabra-the not weird white flower.
Impatiens Capensis-Jewelweed
Nella wasn't familiar with the other flowers because I don't think the magical world has interest in flowers they can't use for potions. Fireweeds are not used for potions but they suppose to be famous because of their fire tolerance so I thought Nella could identify them.
Hope you enjoyed my flower lesson :)
