"She can?"

A nod "it's scary" And while Earl is no Fiona, he is a man very AWARE of what scares him

"I will keep that in mind. Thank you."

"You're welcome." A sip "Of course, otherrs are closer to their saining. Kylie and Zing"

"Yes." August looks down, sips.

"I'm sure they will be well represented and supported." A smile.

"Indeed, have you seen Kyle's latest work? A menorah of silver and smooth white gemstones. I swear she knows i'm going to want to buy it for Zara"

A soft chuckle. "She probably does, yes."

A defeated sigh "Yeah I've put it on a layaway plan"

"Earl.... I have, ah, means. I would be honored to help.........?"

"Thanks, and I might call on that" he admitsshepeishly "But so far, so good. I sold a commission recently. Cover art for a novel about a post apcolytpic trucker"

He drinks. "The offer stands."
