"You were" A nod then she peeks in and smiles "I think you earned some ice cream, and I did it too for not dropping them in the Hudson and going 'oops'"

A snort-laugh. "Hudson might be worse than a lake. Go us. So mature."

"Like TOTES" She does a hair flounce "Super mature"

A small smile and she shakes her head.

"Oh come now, with your hair? That flounce would have bounce. Flounce with me now" Obviously ina silly mood

Tiny chuckle. "Thanks for protecting Connor, Gerd."

"Hey, I didn't lie about it" A shrug "But you're welcome. Honestly, that squire of yours is great but boy does he stick his cute nose into things at odd times. I feel a bit guilty. I mean, does he count as a spy on Rowan? We didn't send him. So I guess not, but I wasn't about to say 'oh that's her ssquire'.. no way that would turn out right for anyone"

"Exactly. And it's Connor. You know your little brother, he wants to make friends with everyone."

A smile "Hey, little brother has a gift for that" And indeed, she once claimed him as such and still does, despite having Theon

A thought "Hey, why don't we make a meal we know he'll like. Not sure we should ENCOURAGE it, but... his favorite samwhich?" And the two plot on a meal for Connor
