Colton is having a boast.

And it's not about him

"I'm telling you, Wudlig, she's amazing. She's used spring magic, the animals are more lively, their feed is lush and the grass is sweet thanks to her. My girl is just.. she's amazing! "

"Yeah yeah, Sylvi is vunderbar" Wudlig says "Specially with help! Like Gerd," A smile "And Dame Dagmar, and oh everyone"

"Yeah, but SHE is organizing them." Proud Troll guy

His phone buzzes.

TXT: ❤️

"Speak of the angel" He types

"Lucifer was an angel too" The nocker smirks, and dodges a friendly swipe "Nah she's cool"

TXT: ❤️ Was talking about you. Great work on ranch

TXT: Is THAT why my ears were burning? Thanks. I helped, but it was mostly Dagmar and Tucker to start.

TXT: Who're you talking to?

TXT: About my amazingly hot intelligent girlfriend? Oh everyone I can 🙂

TXT: But right now, Wudlig

They have become friends it seems. Despite Wudlig being younger

TXT: Okay, you're making me blush! (Don't stop.) Tell him I say Hi.

"She says Hi" Colton says

"Tell her I said hi back blah blah blah" Wudlig says toothy grin

TXT:He says hi back. Hey. I know this Ranch has prodigals there. Think there's a chance we could seek out some of their advice on dark powers?

TXT: Dark powers? Like the Gate thing? Or something else?

TXT: The gate thing. They may have insight.

TXT: Well, the shifters sort of stepped back from things so they wouldn't spook the horses, but I think I can get somebody up there to speak with you. Don't remember if you know her or not....

TXT: Lupe? More heard of than met.

TXT: She's cool. But they have a bunch of secrecy rules, kind of like Right of Ignorance, so you might have to keep her involvement kind of hush-hush.

TXT: I understand that. Maybe I'll try to meet her near RV, like at the lake or something. neutral ground...and then I could visit you

TXT: _Hmmm...let me think....HOW SOON CAN YOU GET HERE? 😉 _

TXT: Possibly tomorrow if that's a good tiem for lupe? Got her number? I can call

TXT: Yeah, hang on.... (And she forwards Lupe's number.) I don't think she'll mind me sharing it.

TXT: I'll apologize to her if so. Tell her I used my charms to seduce it out of you. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

TXT: Oh, well, you don't want to make a liar out of me. So hit me with that seduction, babe. 😚

"Oh crap. She wants poetry or something" Colton blinks

"Thought you had a Fiona give you advice on that" Wudlig snorts

"I did, but seduction on demand.. what can I do?" Colton says

"Only one thing you can do. Take a picture of your dick and send it to her with a heart emjoi overlay" Wudlig says

Colton considers it then comes to his senses "I can crush you right? You know this?"

Wudlig laughs "I can't believe yo ufurking thoguht about it!"

The storm sighs "stupid code of dagda "

"Fine fine... try this.." Wudlig whispers.

And a text comes up on her screen

In Rivervale, Sylvi watches the text bubbles work....

...and watches...

TEXT: If you were a jug of wine, I'd drink from you like a drunkard. My lips to your neck. If you were a river, I would plunge myself into the rapids of you. My body lost in the depths of you. Were my heart a compass, it would point always to the true north of you, my world

A LONG pause.

TXT: Okay. That works.

TXT: BTW, blushing MASSIVELY over here!

"You live" Colton tells Wudlig

Wudlig smiles

TXT: Wow.

TXT: Really looking forward to tomorrow, now.

Colton smiles too, because she's happy TXT: Glad you like. It's all true
