Emelia had always liked Genni, she'd been one of the few kids who were willing to keep up with Emelia's need for stimulation. Now she had Harriette and Mayla. Mayla was the only girl who'd actually kept up with her constant talk, and Harriette seemed just as excited to hear things the tenth time as she was the first time. Harriette liked physical touch which was great because Emelia love love loved physical touch. Touching things was great, and Harriette was soft and bumpy so she was interesting to touch. Harriette liked spiders which was weird but Emelia could learn to like spiders. Harriette was holding Emelia's hand and listening to her talk about dogs. Mayla was late today because she had to go to a doctor's appointment. And Genni wasn't there cause she had a real bad fever and needed rest. She was fine though, Fred and George assured. Before going off to bother one of their other siblings, they were all there today because of Genni being sick. Harriette waved to the other regulars, before turning back to her to ask something else about the type of dog Emelia was talking about.

"They're the biggest type of dog," Emelia explained. Harriette nodding, eyes intense with interest and a little fear. Harriette was learning about something that scared her for Emelia. Yeah, Emelia could learn to like spiders.
