A bit of snooping, and Emerson confirms what he was told by May Maude. Looks like the Dodge City baron is going to be out and about a few days after Penons. Defenses will be focused on the traveling noble, not his hold

Then the only thing left to do is inform Corola.

CC looks pleased

but it must be with something else "Guess who is our new tap dancer?"

"Tap dancer?"

"And trombonist"

"Ah! Miss Mina will be joining us fomally?"

"Indeed. I've had a successful time musing that young woman." Inded, CC's eyes shine with a bit of glamour

"So I see. It looks good on you."

"I love our little fire" She won't lie "But one must keep one's hands in with the musing"

His own musing has blossomed in areas of young revolutionaries, kind of. Writers, orators, even a want to be movie director

Indeed, he keeps a little network of creative types to feed his needs as well as each other's imaginations.

CC has become something of a beta reader for some of his dreamers now and then; her tastes differ a touch but that actually helps for making sure the most people are interested in the message.

Thus making it profitable on more than one level.

She notes no response to her comment about keeping one's hands in the musing, but then realizes she was just speaking what the fellow knows "Preaching to the choir , that's me. Your side hustle of rebels in the arts is coming along nicely too and here I am bragging about my latest dreamer you helped set up."

He tsks. "You have every right to brag. I may have helped set it up, but you are the one whos' brought it to fruition."

"You're my wingman" A wink

"Always." he gives her a grin back.

"Now, Teensy said you had plans for Autumn flair to the menu? She worries you're going to want to splash Pumpkin spice on everything"

"Oh, good heavens no. I thought a Thanksgiving plate, a ham dinner plate, and a horror plate as the anchors. Apple desserts. The occasional stew or chilli. I -do- have an affection for pumpkin raviolis..."

"I'll remember that last for home treat sometime" She smiles "The horror plate sounds intriguing"

"Mm. As we approach the end of this month. Something like.... a fork spun with pesto-pasta, topped with two slices of mozzerella and two black olives for eyes.... a bite of green pasta with eyes.

"Hummus with bug-like decorations make of vegatables."

"I may ask we keep a plate, let it get ripe and send it to kitten"

"Finger-cookies."

"Sweetbreads."

"Certainly, I would be happy to."
