Comic page: Bridget: That's great! Audrey's expression changes from surprised to annoyed. Audrey: ...What do you mean by that? Bridget: Nothing! Audrey: We're just friends, ok? We've always been best friends! Warren looks at Audrey with his eyebrows raised. Leo and Maisie give each other a knowing look. Bridget: I know, honey. You don't have to try to convince me... Audrey: I'm NOT!!

The Maynard family is sitting around a round table, eating dinner together. Several delicious-looking closeups of food are visible: beef slices, salad, and bread. Bridget: So... how did things go with Jane, today? Did you get a lot of studying done? ...Audrey? Audrey is smiling, looking distracted. She's a chubby teenage girl with short, bluntly-cut dark hair, brown skin, brown eyes, and freckles. Audrey: Yeah... she's pretty great. It's been nice to hang out with her more... Info box: Audrey Maynard. Amateur Flautist. Bridget and Anza's daughter. Warren and Leo's shared half-sister.

Warren: Yeah... I offered to help her out this morning, but she was like, Cutaway to a cartoony flashback scene where Warren looks despondent and Audrey looks annoyed. Warren, imitating Audrey: "WARRRRENNN!!!" "Mind your own business and stop pestering meeee!" Effect text pointing to Warren: helpful and innocent brother Warren: And I guess it's kind of embarrassing to get help from your brother, but... ...I mean... you don't have to spend every single day trying to figure this stuff out with Jane when I'm right here. Bridget and Anza share a look and then turn to Warren. Bridget: Well... ...we don't know for sure... Anza: ...And we wouldn't want to put any pressure on them... Bridget: But the way Audrey and Jane have been acting lately... ...It just reminds me of how certain people we know used to act when they were that age. Cut to Leo and Maisie cuddling on the couch with heart effects surrounding them. They look back at Warren, looking a little confused, like they were only half paying attention to the conversation. Warren: Ohhhh... ...yeah, you're probably right.

Bridget, a fat white woman with blonde hair, blue eyes, and freckles, smiles as she holds up a basket of harvested plants. Bridget: Well... we got most of the Frosts Season plants out of the ground today. It'll be nice to relax a bit before Rising Seeds starts. You didn't run into your sister on the way home, did you? She left with Jane earlier today. Info box: Bridget Maynard. Apothecary. Anza's wife, Warren's mother. Bridget and Maisie join Leo, Anza, and Warren. Maisie sits down on the couch next to Leo. Leo: Sorry, Bridget. They're probably still studying together. Bridget and Anza share a look. Bridget: Yeah... Anza: ...Probably! Warren: Hey, Leo, do you think she'd help you with her classes? Since she's struggling, I guess... Leo: Eh, maybe? You know how Audrey is... ...And I don't teach the teenagers so I'm not really sure what she's been learning... Leo and Maisie cuddle on the couch, with Maisie resting her chin on Leo's collarbone.

Comic page. Leo and Warren are having a conversation in the background with Anza, while Skye holds Mischief in the foreground. She's pressing her face against Mischief's head: it's unclear whether she's sniffing the cat or giving her a little kiss. Leo: Yeah, you've got an apprentice to do all the boring stuff. That's why we keep Warren around, right? Warren, icily: HEY. Leo, apologetic: ...Sorry, that sounded meaner than I meant it to Warren, smiling: It's fine! I was just joking around. Mischief meows. Skye looks up and sees someone offscreen. Skye: Ma! Ma!! I got hurt! We meet Maisie, a tall white woman with curly red hair, hazel eyes, and a port wine stain on her lower right cheek. She looks understandably alarmed at what her daughter just said. A shorter, fat, middle-aged blonde woman is standing close to her, who looks a lot like Warren. Info box: Maisie Maynard, Apprentice apothecary. Leo's wife, Skye's mother. Maisie, concerned: WHAT!?! What happened?! Are you ok?! Leo looks reassuringly and affectionately at his wife. Leo: She's alright, Mae. She tripped and scraped her elbow. Skye, smiling: I'm better now!! Maisie looks reassured, though still a little on edge. Maisie: Oh! ...Well, I'm glad you're alright!

Comic page. Esperanza walks over to Leo and Warren, who are relaxing in their living room. Mischief looks up and makes a faint cat noise as she hears someone going pspspspsps from offscreen. Anza: How did it go, today? Did you two have fun? Warren nods enthusiastically, smiling. Leo: Yup, and the kids loved him! Esperanza puts her hand on her shoulder and smiles. Anza: I knew they would! Good job, kiddo! Warren, smiling: Thanks, Anza! Leo, smiling: You should come by, Mama. I can put you into next week's plans! Anza, looking apologetic: I'd love to, but there's a mountain of bookkeeping I need to catch up on. Today was a slow day, so I was able to make a dent in it... ...but we're still behind, and... honestly, I'm already tired just thinking about it. Warren looks at Anza somewhat sarcastically as Leo nods along. Mischief is no longer on Leo's lap, having jumped off. Warren: ...Take a break, then? I know how to do that stuff, too. Anza looks taken aback at her kids ganging up on her.

Comic page. Exterior shot of a house at dusk. Close-up shot of a bird's nest with two blue eggs and one spotted egg in it. Location Intro Textbox: Maynard Residence. Town of Newcliff, in the Southern Canyonlands. Skye's arm is being looked over by her grandmother: an older woman with brown skin, glasses, and curly brown hair. Character Intro Textbox: Esperanza Maynard. Doctor. Leo's mother, Warren's stepmother and mentor. Anza: Well, it looks like it's almost all better! Does it still hurt? Skye, cheerfully: Nope! Anza: Wonderful! I'm sure you were very brave. Skye: Yeah! Thanks, Anma! Warren and Leo are sitting on a chair and couch in the living room. A (very cute) seal point cat is sitting on Leo's lap and purring. Leo and Warren give each-other a skeptical look as Skye says she was brave about her elbow getting hurt, but they're both smiling.

Skye continues to cry. Leo starts talking to Skye as Skye's plushie, essentially playing pretend with her to try to get her to calm down. Bucky (Leo, from out-of-frame, voicing Skye's plushie): Skye! It's me, Bucky! Skye stops crying. Skye: ...Hi, Bucky. Bucky/Leo: I'm sorry you hurt your elbow! That's awful! Skye: ...Yeah... Bucky/Leo: Your grandma's not here right now, but if you let your Uncle Warren bandage your elbow and give you a potion, I'll hug you until we get home. My hugs will make you feel better! Skye, pouting: ...Don't like potions... Leo makes Bucky give Skye an affectionate headbutt (like a cat). Bucky/Leo: I know, but you're really brave! And I love you! Skye starts to smile. Skye: ...Love you too, Bucky. ...Ok, I'll drink it... Warren bandages Skye's elbow, and Skye drinks the potion, looking disgusted at the taste. Leo picks Skye up in his arms and looks at her affectionately as the three of them walk home.

Comic page. Leo and Warren continue walking through the marketplace while Skye walks ahead of them. Warren: Oh, really? Leo: Yeah, the vials aren't quite ready yet I guess. Mae said there was some kind of issue with the forge. Alan had to get that fixed first. Leo looks ahead to where Skye is, off-screen. Leo: Skye?! Skye: OW!! Leo, alarmed: Skye!! Are you ok? Skye starts crying. She's sitting on the ground, holding her arm after tripping and hitting her elbow on a rock. Warren, reaching toward the pouches on his belt: Here, let me help. Skye: NO! Skye: I want Anmaaa Skye trails off into more crying. Warren looks at Leo, who's looking at his daughter sympathetically.

Comic page. Leo leans down toward Skye, smiling at her warmly. Leo: You wanna know what's REALLY wild? Skye: *gasp* What?? Leo: I'M 30 years old. Skye counts on her fingers. We see mathematical formulas in the background behind her as she thinks: much more complicated than the math she's actually trying to do. Skye: That's more than 28!!! Warren: Yeah! Your Papa's an old, old man... Skye holds up one of her hands excitedly, showing five fingers Skye: I'M 5!!! Leo claps. Leo: That's right!! Warren laughs, then turns to Leo as Skye runs ahead of them. Warren: Hey, wait, didn't Maisie and my mom want us to pick up those vials today? Leo: Oh, nah, they're just going to go get them tomorrow with the other stuff.

Warren, Skye, and Leo walk along a market street as the sun starts to set. Skye: What're you turning tomorrow, Uncle Warren? Warren: Well, how old do you think I am? Skye: Hmmmm... you're pretty old because you know a lot of things... ...16? Leo: 16, huh? Warren: I'm turning 28, Skye. Skye: WHAT!!! That's so many!! You're really old! Leo: haha Warren: Not that old...

Leo: I think you'd be a good teacher if you ever decide to drop the "doctor" plan. Warren: If you say so... Warren looks sad/thoughtful... but then suddenly smirks and starts being silly. Warren: I can't just quit my apprenticeship, though! All that time and effort at the academy... ...and now you're saying I should just quit! Wooowww... Leo plays along and overreacts too in a goofy way. Leo: Hey, I didn't mean it like that! Warren: Maybe I will do it... ...and then I'll steal your job! Leo: HEY!!! Leo: Who's going to take over the practice if you quit, huh!?! You're seriously going to make my poor mama find somebody else to train??? Warren: She would be pretty disappointed... ...I'll have to think about it... Leo: If you make her cry, I'll kill you. Skye, interrupting: HI, PAPA!! Warren and Leo look surprised and stop jokingly yelling at each other. Leo: SKYE!!! ...Are you ready to go home? Skye: Yeah!
