"you have that right" CC says

"It -does- help stabilize one. Chief Clem, you are sound after all this cantripery?

"Oh I had other thihngs to occupy me" Clem says "Lots of help guarding your tunnels"

"Yes, yes..... I do hope things worked out well. My apologies I could not be of more assistance." contritely.

"Mister stodgepoole, we didnt even know there was an under farm trod. You did plenty, we're the ones what should be embarrassed"

"I would think it's possible there -wasn't- a trod down there. Until there was." he points out "Your young man on guard for us did extraordinarily well."

"Oh Kid's sharp for his age" Clem nods "Glad he didn't slack"

"Very well done." he emphasizes.

"Hard worker" CC finishes up her meal "now, Clem, about that appointment?"

Clem hands over a piece o paper "Got it all down here"

"Most considerate of you, Chief, to set this up. Thank you."

"Healer's duty" Clem says

CC takes his hand "We should go. I .. I want to know this"

"Of course. You will excuse us?" to the trolls as he takes CC's hand in return.

And off they go... mortal time will do them good anyway
