Honk Honk He Honks

Do you want me to keep an eye on the carrot? asks Roo-kai.

How can you? asks Terence.

Follow the box, says Roo-kai. 

No need, says Belle. I think we've seen the last of the carrot.

I agree, says Saint Méen. Put the carrot behind us.

Yes, says Saint Maclou. Let's enjoy the fine autumn weather as we make our way home. 

Where are we going? asks Quiet-tartus.

To Saint Malo, says Belle. The saints have invited us.

Are there frogs in Saint Malo? asks the knowlesi.

Plenty of frogs, says Saint Méen.

Honk honk! honks Saint Maclou. 

Quiet-tartus and the knowlesi are alarmed. 

If this is the sound of the frogs in Saint Malo, they must be gigantic.

We don't want to go, says Quiet-tartus.

No we don't, says the knowlesi. We want to go home.

Gaius said you should go home, says Belle. But wouldn't you like a short holiday?

No, says the knowlesi. 

I know, says Belle. I'll call Sweezie and Arthur. They'll be going home soon, if they haven't already.

She calls Sweezus. 

Hey, Belle!

Sweezie, are you still in Paris?

Yeah. So's Arthur. But I have to leave soon. 

Like when?

A couple of days.

Great, would you do me a favour and take the frogs back to Gaius? 

What frogs?

You know, the frogs Terence brought over. They crashed in the Tour.

Sure, I remember, says Sweezus. Where are you?

Le Havre, says Belle. But we're about to set off for Saint Malo.

You wanna leave them somewhere? asks Sweezus. 

No! says Belle. Gaius wouldn't like that. How about you take a train to Saint Malo? Bring your bike, and cycle towards Le Havre and when we meet I'll hand the frogs over.

Shit, Belle, says Sweezus. What do you reckon? 

Well, maybe not, says Belle. You don't have all that long.  What about Arthur? I bet he doesn't have to go back to Oz in a couple of days.

Yeah... well... no, he doesn't, says Sweezus. I'll ask him.

Belle hears him asking Arthur, and Arthur grunting non-commitally.

Okay, says Sweezus. He'll do it. It'll get him in good with Gaius.

Perfect, says Belle. Tell Arthur thanks a million.

Sure, says Sweezus. Is Terence with you?

Yes, says Belle. I'll put him on. Here, Terence, it's Sweezus.

Hey little buddy, says Sweezus.

Guess what? says Terence. You know the carrot?

No, says Sweezus,. What carrot?

It's actually half a carrot, says Terence.

Yeah? says Sweezus. What happened?

There follows a meandering story.
