"Well, Earl," One of his Kinian Uncles, one of many, glances over the yard work, "That's.... not bad. But, you need to do this right. See? There's edge work. Keeps it neat."//"Edge work?" //"This isn't farming son, it''s a purely cosmetic and vanity project in a lot of ways, but you're a deBuke, you still tkae pride don't you?"//"Yeah, yeah, thanks Uncle Redrick. I appeciate this. I just need to think photo realistic rather than abstract" //"I have.. no idea what what that means, but if it helps you with straight clear lines, then more power to it."

And Earl continues to learn about lawn care done right. He's read the books, he's got the eye, but he wants to make sure this is perfect.

CLaire says "I know you, flaymboyant isn ot the way to go this time. Not for you."//"But it is for you?// "I'm the Bride, the star of the show."//"You've always been the star, my dear."//"Sweet, but you still don't get to divert me. Here's the selection I'd like you to consider"//"And do I get to pick out your wedding dress?"/"Again, absolutely no."//"What DO I ge to do clothing wise?"//"Help me take it off" SHe smirks

"Good point" He says and flips through her 'suggestions'

Caesar blinks, something's wrong, his reflexes are off. His timing is shot... he can't seem to move quick enough. His foe, some new guy his bosses required him to give a shot too, is a fae as well. But Caesar knows he's better. But why is he off today? Too many thoughts, and the thoughts too fuzzy, why is he - the shot to mid section catches him off guard.
