The Spirit Nursery
An old couple in Rivertown look after your spirits while you walk. Leave two, and sometimes an egg turns up in the yard.
Arul Thatha and Selvi Paati
They have run the Nursery for forty years. Arul keeps the desk and counts the coins. Selvi looks after the spirits, and lets them nap when he isn't looking.
Arul ThathaHm? A customer. Selvi! ...Selvi! Forty years, and she still does not hear me.
Spirits left with us walk, play and grow. Two at a time, no more, and never your last one fit to fight. Don't argue.
Selvi PaatiArul sits at the desk and counts coins. I am the one who actually looks after them.
Mind the gate. And do not tell him I let them nap.
How the Nursery works
From egg to spirit
Arul says he heard it first. Selvi says she did. Keep it warm and walk with it: it hatches when it is ready, not when you are.
Egg groups
Every spirit belongs to one or two egg groups. Two guests who share a group can make an egg, even across lines.
