El and Kib wake up to go about their tasks on the last day of the harvest month. El helps Helen set up a table with Rye Dollies or as Helen calls them “Straw Mothers”. They are dolls, toys for the children, that resemble people. El sets up a display with them looking at the different pieces of fabric and the flowers that adorn them. One catches his eye, a doll with a bonnet made from the petals of a small white flower.

“You like that bonnet?” Helen looks over at El. “Little old for dolls though, aren’t you.” She squints as if unsure.

“The flowers that make up her bonnet. Where did you get them?” El asks looking up at Helen.

“They hide underneath the tall grass between the rolling hills. They grow near the willow tree.” Helen answers.

“The willow tree,” El mutters to himself.

“They should be in bloom, but you’ll only see it during the night underneath the moon at its brightest.” She smiles and looks up from her work and El is gone.

El and Kib meet up and go out to hunt once more. They bring a bear's corpse to the goblins, Kib gives some old kobold tools and weapons to the goblins, and El gives them rye seeds. Kib negotiates with them to ensure that they understand the transaction is peaceful and nothing is owed.

The two head back to the village where the citizens are milling about setting up for the harvest festival tomorrow. Kib sleeps in the barn this time on the floor by El. He wants to be able to join in on the early morning festivities as he has never seen a harvest festival as a kobold.

“Hey, El?” Kib calls from the floor.

“Yeah?” The field hand rolls over and looks down at Kib.

“Is that a drawing of someone?” Kib points up at a paper sticking out of a drawer above him.

“Oh!” El tucks the paper into the drawer hiding it. “Yeah, it is.”

“So someone close to you died too?” Kib asks.

“Well, yes, they did. That’s not it though, the drawing is of someone who I could see every day if I wanted to. Someone who I like a lot. I like to be around them and I like to think of them when they’re gone.” El explains.

“Should I draw you then?” Kib asks.

“What!” El scrambles to sit up. “Kib, we’re friends.” Kib nods. “Just friends.”

“Right.” Kib digests this information before a lightbulb turns on in his brain. “So you drew a potential brood mother!”

“What!” El screams. He grabs his pillow and hides his face with it. “Are you fucking kidding me Kib!” El screams into the pillow.

“Alright, I know enough. Couldn't even wait for mating season. Wow. Someone has a hormonal imbalance.” Kib snickers as he rolls over.

“You’ve got it all wrong.” El turns in his bed and clamps the pillow over his head as he keeps his eyes closed tight.
