Vivien's been working her butt off trying to stay ahead of the peasant medical mother, I forget who it is. Andrea? Who knows.

Etsu's taken quite a strong shine to her artistic works.

She gave the family a new bouquet of dragonsnaps.

And that's it! Man, that chapter just flew by. Thanks for reading, everyone, and tune in for our next chapter.
