"He might start kicking." Connor says, though he is grinning.

"Not all of em" She says "I don't have streaming"

"He sounds TERRIBLE!"

"We have streaming at the Barn. You could come over and watch'm, if you wanted. CJ might wanna ask you a bunch of questions, and Mom'll insist you eat cookies, but Dad'll be chill."

"They are the WORST! So many cookies!"

"The worst!" She grabs Connor up in a hug.

He squeals in joy. "HELP! FIRE! POLICE!"

She spins, whirling him around. "Ope."

"I suppose you could come cookie-test, too, kiddo. Make sure Ylva doesn't get poisoned."

"That would be neat.. and yes, thank you. I prefer not to be poisoned" A smile "You live ina barn?"

"The Barn. It's a house, it just looks like a barn from the outside. It's only about a ten minute walk from here."

"Oh I saw that on a patrol with the storm, didn't knolw it waas yours. Yes I'd like to see, please"

"Cool. I'm home on weekends, then I'll be around all of winter break."

"Okay" She nods then looks at Connor "Your knight is pretty cool"

"Ice cold." He nods.

A tiny smile.

"Thank you very much, ma'am. Should I bring anything to your house? "
