"There was a sign that said we're not s'posed to. So I hugged Granatee instead!"

"Is that my name now?" chuckles Ranata.

[carillons]

"No! Your name is Ranata Ekamma," says Helen. "Granatee is your other thing."

[alicornucopia]

"Her other thing?" asks Charlie, amused.

[carillons]

"The other thing that's not a name but it's what you call somebody! Like grandma and grandpa and granatee and mommy and daddy and spinach!"

[alicornucopia]

"All right then," laughs Ranata. "But I'm still only secretly your grandma, so 'granatee' is a word for in private, okay? I only ever had - the one child, so if people knew you were my grandchild, they would know about your... secret mom."

"Okay," says Helen.

[alicornucopia]

"Good." Forehead-kiss. "Let's have some food, that was a long flight."

[carillons]

"Food!" says Helen. "I like food!"

[alicornucopia]

And thus, a late dinner is produced and consumed.
