Prompt Words: Pace Union
Minervie and Chip 71
Cathy stared up at Minervie, and Minervie said, “Chip? What you mean about the unicorn, could you explain?”
“The unicorn appeared in the wood, and left the same day,” Chip explained like it was obvious.
“Did the treant tell you this?” Minervie prompted.
“I don’t remember who told me.” Chip said.
Cathy said, “I think we should go visit this Graendle.”
A man leaned in and said something quietly to Cathy.
Cathy then said, “Minervie, I think it might help if we brought Chip along, but I’m not going to force it.”
Minervie looked at Chip, and Chip immediately chimed in, “I want to see Graendle again.”
Cathy said, “Chip, do you mind if someone carries you?”
Chip looked to Minervie, and Minervie interjected, “I will carry him. I may be old, but I’m not weak.” She lifted Chip onto her left hip.
They set off at a brisk pace and into the Gathering Wood. Chip giggled, “I didn’t think a unicorn would actually be in a tree.”
Both Minervie and Cathy stopped dead at this. Minervie asked, “Chip, could you explain what is funny?”
Chip looked up and said, “When I was playing with Peter, I pretended there was a unicorn in a tree, but Greandle told me that it really happened.”
Cathy said, “If it is okay with your grandmother, maybe we can play pretend later.”
Minervie said, “I am not sure if that is appropriate.”
One of the security group that was with them, Jaz, jumped in, “I am in union with Miss Minervie, I was with Minervie during the … incident, I do not like the idea of you playing pretend.”
Chip looked relieved, “I’d rather play with Peter.”
Meta
- I started writing yesterday’s but didn’t finish, so I continued it today, and decided to use both words.
- “I am in union with” is archaic, but it comes from some translations of the bible, and suggests being of the same mind.
