A brow lift "My Eiluned Squire would agree with you"

"He has been taught well then."

"You've helped with that. He won't underestimate ANY commoner kith." A pause "in fact, Lily and he had a sneak off. "

"Good for both of them."

"yeah, Nelson was going to try to steal tea for you, and Lily was going to try to steal candy from my vest" he reaches into his vest "i've got three sour gum dro..." he stops and pets the vest pocket "Zero. I have zero sour gum drops"

Zara now knows where she got those extra tea blends. Not all her favorite, but the endeavor was sweet

A feathery rattle of amusement.

"Honestly, I thought I was being alert" He confides

"Miss Lily is a very talented young lady."

"She is. You and Symon have taught her well"

"Still a bit humbling to lose my gum drops though" An admission good natured

A toothless grin.

THAT gets her a kiss, soft and amused

"Shall we hence to the Farm? It could wait until morning..."

"Well, perhaps a delay" Hopeful and a glance to a bed chamber "But a visit promptly in the morning?"

She slides her arms around him. "It is terribly cold outside...."

He picks her up gently "I will do my utmost to keep you warm tonight" And he carries her away.

(Fade to warming endeavors!)
