His eyes are BIG; his thoughts should probably not be voiced.

"Sorry hon, I'm too distracted by Clem playing multiple parts in this show, att least ttwo of them in a fight with each other to read minds. Can you keep it PG13?"

"No, I think not. Can you?" he whispers.

"I don't thhhink she's into bondage honey, saddle jokes aside"

CC looks around

TXT: Are you being a schmuck?

Clem picks up the phone and looks "Oh lord" She ttypes

"Then let us watch."

Txt: I blame you for this! He's either with some Amazon troll-op inn Silverwolf or worse, he's comingg for me and I can't .. he deserves a woman who puts him first! This is a fine Fix!

TXT: Are you a schnook?

TXT: Are you an onion, growing with your head in the ground?

TXT: GO GET HIM.

TXT: I cannot shout in person. Must I stoop to emojis?

"He's not back yet" Clem fusses a the phone "You boggan brained book worm"

then she texts TXT _ He's not here._

CC covers a mouth and whispers to Emerson "Oh this is adorable."

TXT: 🌽 🚙 🦌 💏

Emerson notices Clem DOES have a cup of coffeee she drinks from ow and hen

He drums his fingers.... he has resources......

CC looks at him "Mm you think?"

Clem types back TXT: I have duties HERE!

TXT: Excuses.

TXT: Lying to yourself will never bring prosperity.

"Well, not all of us can go o whirlrwind romances and libertine adventures.." Clem grouses "If I could forget my duties for a bit, I would, would welcome it"

thenn she texts TXT: Well, guess I'll never be that prosperous. 😛

CC arches a brow then says to Emerson "Was that a wish?"

TXT: Must I come and drag you by the ear?

TXT: go soak your head. I'm MAD at you for ggetting me in this. Honey soaked Clementines

TXT: Fine, blame me. And go to him.

"Not a wish to you, Dearest."

(He DOES take care of her....)

TXT: He's supposed to come to me. If he doesn't wannt me, then clearly I'm NOT the one

TXT: So he can enjoy his Saturnalia at Silverwolf or Darkgate!

TXT: How can he come to you if he can't come to the farm?

TXT If he passed the quests than he can

"I mean, he has to KNOW tthat" CC says

TXT: Does he know that, or is that only clear in your head?

TXT: At some point, the bashful beloved must stop spurning.

Clem winces "Shit. I hate when she's right" She growls a the phone "Which ain't near as often as you think!" then she texts to her

TXT: I'll consider what you say.

TXT: All I ask.

Clem sighs and types TXT: i will

"At least I still got time ot think on it"

Near the still cold stream, Earl appears, Buck with him, distant enough Clem shouldn't see him yet..

Buck looks about "I'm not sure I'm supposed to be here yet, Earl"

"We should go." he murmurs, breath-soft.

Earl shrugs "You got an agreement and a Donkey corn both for the first part of your quest... stopped a raid for the second. Third part? It's here. I know my cousin... she cares for the farm but worries she can't do that and be happy. Don't let her lie to herself, Buck"

CC whispers back "We'll, we offered to help. Maybe I should try some gift to help her over the hump?"

Buck says "I won't. Thanks Earl"
