"Hello, Spray," Ebony nodded, thinking to herself that Spray spoke in a very archaic, Victorian manner, "You're new here in town, aren't you? Well then. Welcome to Radiator Springs."

Tentatively, he cracked an eye open, groaning when he realized who it was watching him.
"Didn't you once say you had a home to go back to?" he grumbled, leaning away from the foxdog curled at his side. Boo snorted irritably before lapsing back into unconsciousness.
"Didn't you?" Natalie asked in return, unphazed. "I was just making sure you didn't up and have a seizure yet today."
"I haven't had one of those in months," Shawn pointed out, hesitating before pushing himself back onto his wheels. A sharp, biting pain ran aft from his engine compartment, shooting down his drive shaft and back. The aero hybrid inhaled reflexively, feeling his breath hitch in the air filter before loosening up.
Natalie noticed the wince. "Seasonal symptoms, right?" She asked more out of need to reassure herself that was what was causing the hurt.
"It'll get worse before it gets better," Shawn replied sternly, doing his best to appear unaffected, "Besides the obvious, why else are you hanging around?"
The GT girl shrugged. "Honestly, I don't know, other than I'm worried about you."
He smiled tolerantly. "I appreciate that, Nat, but it's nothing to be scared of. And if it gets to the point I seize up and suffocate, you're free to go home." He started to laugh, but the humor didn't last when he noticed the grim look on her front.
"That is not funny, Shawn."
He cleared his throat, looking away discreetly. "You're right; it's not. Sorry."

"To tell the truth, I hath been here for ages." Spray smiled. "As long as the river hath flowed here."

Ebony raised an eyeshade at this. "Ages? But I don't think I've ever seen you before until today. And if you don't mind me asking, why did you mention the river?"

"I am the river's spirit." Spray declared matter-of-factly. "Worry not, for your companions do not hear our conversation, at least, not as such."

River spirit... Ebony was a little puzzled at first, but then it dawned on her.
"I think I recall hearing Kamui or Sonya mentioning you about a couple of months ago ," said Ebony, "So how come my friends aren't hearing our conversation? What are they actually seeing?"

"They see thou and I talking of the weather, and the road." Spray answered. "I know that Kamui and Sonya must attend to matters that take them afar, but perhaps I shall see them again. Wouldst thou have news of them?"

"Kamui is at a charity race from what Darcy told me and I recall that Sonya and I have been fairly close to having our children at almost the same time," said Ebony, "that I think that she and Huracan are back down in Mexico. I haven't heard from either of them lately, though, but they stay in contact with each other and Kamui in contact with Darcy."

"Ah, Darcy. White as the snow that melts into me." Spray smiled. "She has been the victim of many outrages, but time and friendship hath healed her."
It was then that Flo received a call at the main building, and went back for it. A few minutes later, she came back out. "That was Willow Diaz callin'. Sonya's gone into labor!"

"Darcy's found a lot of friends here," agreed Ebony, "I'm pleased to see that she's come a long way from the shy, frightened little girl that I met months ago."
Ebony turned her attention to Flo as the Motorama car came out to announce that Sonya's gone into labor.
"She is?" asked the Viper, "That's about a day after me. Is Sonya okay?"

"Willow says it's good so far," Flo nodded, "Her whole family is there. Where's Darcy, anyway?"
"She's at the Butte with Johnny," Ondine answered. "I'll let her know. That child is going to be her half-brother, after all."
"I just wonder how her mother and brother are gonna deal with that." Flo peeked furtively at the aforementioned individuals, who had wandered out of earshot. "Susan thought her husband was dead, or somebody convinced her, and now he's back again, but he's not the same and part of him loves another woman. It can't be easy for her."

"That's good. I hope Sonya has an easier time with her labor than I did with mine," said Ebony.
She took a quick glance over at Susan and Dallas, who was out of earshot of the current conversation going on.
"Maybe I can go talk to Susan," Ebony suggested helpfully, "I was there, more or less, when Huracan remembered that Darcy was his daughter. Huntress and Lyle told me all about it."

"Yeah, I remember when he almost killed that so-and-so Mercer." Flo rolled her eyes with a fin flick. "Kamui talked some sense to him, finally. You can go talk to'em, Ebony. I can help if you need it."
Spray pulled something small and shiny about of a side compartment. It was a solid lump of gold.
"Every year, with each storm and flood, new treasures are brought up to the earth that beds my waters." she said. "I have collected gold dust to make a single mass. Wouldst accept this for some of thy fare?"
Flo was completely taken aback. "Oh my... that's the real stuff, too. Tell you what, ma'am, I can take that and start an account for you. How's that?"
"It would suffice." Spray answered pleasantly.

Ebony waited until this exchange was over with before speaking. "I would like to talk to them now, if it's alright. Flo, could you come with me?"
