Pierre shrugs, 'She doesn't tell me anything anymore.'

-----

Marise gives her mother a look of disgust or pity, 'Manman, there's no such thing as sirèn, that's just a story, you sound as crazy as old Mesye Labas. I went to the beach, I sat there, nothing happened, I met nobody.'

Her expression softens a little, 'I've been going there a lot recently, to think, to look at the sea. There's something about Anse Douce, it's calm, it's kind of beautiful at night. I've been feeling, not so good, headaches. They're better down by the beach, the sea air maybe. You worry too much, about me, about everything.'

"Around how long ago did she stop?" asks Laurent.

"If you're having headaches, we should take you to the doctor," Florence says.

Pierre thinks for a minute, 'I'm not sure, maybe the last month. I thought she was just mooning over that Eddie but now I'm not so sure.'

-----

The look of opposition and anger fades from Marise's eyes, 'Maybe manmi, maybe.'

Relieved to have gotten something out of her daughter, Florence leaves it there for now. (Would one have to go to the doctor to arrange an appointment, or do you just show up and wait to be seen?).

"Something must have happened then," says Laurent. "Something she won't talk about."

'Well that's what manman thinks, I don't know, I don't understand girls. Even my own sister.'

-----

Marise's expression is blank again and she returns to staring into the middle distance impassively. Fabrice rejoins Florence and looks at her questioningly.

SunlessNick, for the doctor I think it's a turn up and wait kind of place.

"She denies it - she says she just goes to look at the sea = but I saw it in her eyes," Florence says. "But she's agreed to go the doctor at least."

"What have you heard about the sirèn?" asks Laurent.

Pierre laughs, 'Sirèn? Mermaids? Beautiful fish ladies that swim around in the sea. Don't be silly Laurent, I think you spend too much time listening to Pierre Labas!'

-----

Fabrice nods at Florence's suggestion of the doctor, 'Doctor Cleremont will know what to do, Marise likes him, they get on, maybe she'll talk to him. The surgery should be back open for the afternoon by now.'

"I have been talking to him, actually," says Laurent. "I've never seen a sirèn myself, of course, but he says he has."

'That's not even the weirdest thing Labas says' laughs Pierre.

"What is the weirdest thing he says?" asks Laurent, curious.

'Oh you know, all that stuff about old Dame Marie, how it was washed away by Agoué because the people didn't pray to him. He's mad old Pierre, I'm embarrassed we share a name!'

"Oh, yeah, he did talk about that," says Laurent. "I thought maybe he was talking about something even weirder than that. Speaking of weirdness, have you heard of Auxian Ramses? He's supposed to be a witch doctor or something."

'Mesye Ramses makes coffins, creepy, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a houngan or even a bocor' says Pierre.

'As for weirder things, I'm sure there's plenty, do you know Labas says he can speak any language he's ever heard? And he says he talks directly with the loa. He's mad, don't pay any attention to him.'

Sorry for the absence.


Florence sees no sense in waiting, and resolves to take Marise to the doctor this afternoon.

No problem SunlessNick, been busy myself. So I think we're bringing this scene to a close. Florence will be going to Dr Cleremont's surgery, what will Laurent do?

When Florence is ready to take Marise to the doctor, Laurent will offer to come with them.


Welcome back! I've also been very busy.
