“You just figured it out?” He sounds a bit surprised. And a small smirk

"Connor, dry off! Mom made pork chops!"

“YEEEEE!” A squeal from upstairs, and a Mighty Splash.

Half the bathroom might be suds... but none of the pooka is syrup. Take what good you can get!

"Golems.. stomping my face... slows the brain down" Zane groans "Want me to walk home with you do the talking to your mom so you don't have to?"

Gerd gets a wistful smile at something

“Depends. Are you trying to delay going home?” He asks Zane

Brekke blinks at Zane's revelation. "He is...?" And then a moment passes. "Ah."

"YEAH" Zane says "And YEah" Zane says to both Symon and the Chief

Kerri sighs at the splash sound.

“Then sure. Mom’s making bulgogi tonight. If you hurry, there might even be some left outside of my plate from last week.”

"I would offer to drive you, but the Mountain is still bringing the Jeep back."

"JOy" Zane says but smiles and goes with Symon "Night all. And ah... please, if you found what I did heroic, tell any single ladies my age how amazing I am." And he heads out

"Zane, I want to speak with you more tomorrow," Brekke says. "But go home now and rest."

"Yes , Chieftain" NOW He heads out... and muters to Symon "Should I be nervous?" But we may not hear the boy's whisper

“Probably.” And on they go!

Connor is carted off for pork chops at the Barn!

And Gerd? Gerd helps clean up the bathroom so he Hearth doesn't have to.

Oh, but the Hearth helps.

And Siv gets her mom a well earned cup of coffee as they wait for the Mountain
