"Ooo....." It appears he's looking forward to that, stepping closer to slide his arms around her to make it easier. "So help me, if Zane -is- just hiding somewhere and sulking I'm going to knock him down. I was -not- done cuddling....."

She pokes him in the side instead, and slips away teasingly. "Your mom has a point, though. Let's find Z, then we can pick up somewhere along the line of where we left off..."

"Zane, you asshole you...." Adam mutters as they head outside. "Car or....?" He stops, struck by a thought. "Hey. What if.... ok, he had a fight with his pops about his passion... and went to get in trouble. What if the trouble is, like, related to his passion. Proving it to his pops?"

Why is the family mailbox missing?

"Well... I suppose he can get made at me for sharing if he wants. His passion is Magic. Or studying magic... or learning new paths for combining existing cantrips... maybe even discovering new arts, although THAT'S a stretch." Thoughtfully. "How would he make a point about that, though? "

Adam thinks. "By... doing... some thing magical? That his dad would hate?"

"Could be... but that doesn't give me any clues on where he might be so we can find him." A sigh.

"Well.... where would you go or what would you do? Something where the prof teaches? Or the dude you said was teaching him at the farmhold? Or.... he made that bomb thing for the Dragon, right? Something like that?"

"Hmmm... I think Uncle C gives guest lectures a lot." Checking memory banks...
"He made the lustbomb out in the woods outside the lodge. We could look there, but he said he was leaving the county. If that was even true."
"He said he was learning from the Mountain there. I guess we could go ask him. Who's gonna know him better than his teacher?" His family... her internal voice says. A sigh.

"And the farm is out of the county, I guess. That sounds best. Uh. Lead the way?"

"You sure that you're okay on the trod? I just haven't ever taken a mortal with me before. And your mom WILL kill me if I lose you off the path." A small smile, but serious expression. "Then we'll need to find Zane AND you."

"I did ok before...." her concern softens his cockiness.

She squeezes his hand. "Okay then. Let's do it! And directs him to drive over as close to the footbridge as they can park, and continue on foot from there.

OOC: Best to go anywhere 🙂 As farm is in use for another scene

Ooc will meet and post when I can!
