"Yeah. If she's going, maybe all of us could go in a group..."

“Or we could ride all the way, VROOM!” A big grin! Of course, that would be HIGHWAY miles. A sly glance Jaymes’ way.

"I like the idea of you guys going in a group... by flicker flash" Jaymes Speaks

"Well, I'll ask Gerd." A groan as she gets up to get her phone. "Too much food!"

Tove smiles "None of you had to to have thirds" But she's pleased they did

She sends a quick text to the younger troll, asking about travel plans for the morrow.

Gerd says TXT: Wudlig wanted to drive me but I told him we should just flicker flash. Also... if Connor is going I figured I could maybe give you guys a lift? But I didn't want to press and be 'pushy sis'? So. .your call

Connor mumbles something about wanting fourths now, even as his eyes plead with Tove to NOT bring anything else...

TXT: A lift would be good, thanks.

TXT: Good! I was afraid you were going to try to drive him the whole way. I Mean. I know you don't drive crazy like Siv, but it's pretty far by wheel

TXT: Yeah. Don't have license yet.

TXT: That too. We should leave an hour before just incase the flash takes too long

TXT: Cool. I owe you.

Connor is TRYING not to look like he wants to peek.

TXT: _You kidding? You know I do thisfor Connor. You're allright though 😉 )

"Yeah, we'll get a lift from Gerd."

“Yes! It’s a party!” He grins! “It’s a good thing I fasted today.”

Jaymes looks the boy over "Four laps" A nod "Walk it off"

“Laps of whipped cream?” But he’s already hauling himself upright.

“Hup hup hup.”

Amused look "Did youjust PE Teacher that poor boy?" Tove asks her husband

Jaymes grunts ("Maaaybe")

"I'm sure you'll just grow overnight, so you'll have more stomach tomorrow."

“Maybe I can grow more stomach! A cow has four stomachs. That means they can have four stomach aches!” He hesitates at the door. “Four laps and home, or four laps and back? You won’t forget me in the morning?”

Tove lets Dagmar field that

"I will not forget you. Why don't I walk you home to the lodge?"

"Or..." A look at Jaymes before she says it. Eyebrows ("Cyc-bike?")

A grunt "Well, it's a short trip. Okay. Straight and back though"

He whoops!

"Connor, get your helmet."

“Yes sir Dame sir!” He barks and fetches both helmets, tucking in his ears.

"Be back! Love you!"

Jaymes nods (Love you too")

Tove says "Love you so much. Thank you for being a wonderful guest, Squire"

“It’s helps when there’s a host who can toast the best roast!”

“And next year CJ can have gravy, too!” Having beeen very sad to learn that no, CJ is STILL too young for real food. It’s taking FOREVER.

IT DOES

"I'm looking forward to that myself" She says "Thank you"

"You'll be able to give him all the tricks. Okay, back soon!"

"Helmets" Reminder from Jaymes as they head off

Helmets donned! And vroom!

Jaymes and Tove watch them zoom off. She leans on his shoulder, and kisses his cheek.

Both speak in that quiet tongue ("Proud. Happy. Contentment")
