"He's always seen the world differently, doesn't mean he's wrong" A chuckle

"That's why he's such a good artist. His paint lets him share."

"Well, don't let him neglect the business side. At the risk of stereotyping, I think yhour family might get onto him if he just flipped burgers without trying to keep his art on"

"Not that there's shame in that" She admits "But he's got gifts"

"Oh, there's no shame in honest work... but he would be unhappy with burgers, methinks."

"Even if they had safron spices mixed in" Wry

the music is lightening their spirits a bit, as CC sings about love and making it.

Her voice is softer here at this spot, but the mood is contagious and uplifting. Darn satyrs.

"Even if."

"Agreed. Mmm maybe Cadman would like it here" She thinks wistfully "Wonder if he'd like the dress"

"One way to find out." Coaxing.

"Fine. Next time he asks me out, I'll suggest it. But HE has to ask, I'm still a little traditional darn it"

She smooths her dress nervously

"That's fine. Of course."

A pause. "I would very much like to see the tree."

"I.. I'd like that," She finishes "You done with your meal?"

Zara nods. Indeed, her plate is clean - when did she do that?

"I.." Clem notes it "Darn you're scary good at that. Let's go." She pays for the meal, and rises with her friend to go off "it's wonderful, the colors may seem garish but it feels like... hope. You know?"

"I think?"

"When I touched it, I got what it was like for the dreamers when we muse them" She explains as best she can "You'll see"

And off they go
