In the evening, an owl flies to the McBoid farm, bearing a short note from Fauna on Ministry parchment.

To: Moira McBoid, McBoid Farm, Edinburgh. Scotland.

From: Fauna Blake, M of M. London.

Hi Moira,

It's Fauna. I heard from Abby that you haven't been feeling very well these past few days. I hope you are ok. Do you need anything? I can bring soup.

~Fauna

Thirty minutes later an owl returns with a reply.

Hi,

I'm fine, thank you for asking.

Out of curiosity, what kind of soup?

Moira,

Well...

Chicken noodle. Pho soup. Split pea? Could be anything. What's your favorite?

Fauna,

I guess Pho and tomato sounds kind of good.

Moira

From: Fauna Blake, M of M. London.

Understood. I'll bring you a container of tomato soup and one of Pho. Not mixed together. Unless you_... not together, right?

I'll be there in a bit. If you like. If that's ok!

Not together.

That's fine. You can use the floo if you want but I'm in another cabin on the property. Contagious and all.
