Zander nodded in agreement. “But sometimes it’s nice to know how things were, without a modern twist.”

"Perhaps." He shrugged. "I enjoy the way stories change."

“Nothing wrong with that,” Zander agreed with a nod.

(Do you wanna skip or change the focus? I'm fizzling out)

(Unless you wanna stay in lunch I think we could move on through the day to when Sera and Rickard come home or something)

(Nah I’ve got no attachment to lunch whatsoever. That works for me! Do you have a gist for that/do you wanna set it up?)

(Nice! Have fun on the boat!)

The day wore on, and Sara returned about two hours after lunch. Sera and Rickard returned in early evening with the sticky cakes, other goodies, and two more people.
The young man who rode in with them was about eighteen years old, with bright green eyes and an angular face covered by a light brown farmer's beard. His hair was cut short, and a brass loop ran through one ear. He was quite tall and very wiry, but he had a laborer's muscularity and dressed in plain, warm clothes befitting a peasant. He was quite cheery and chatted amicably with the other three party members.
The young woman was about the same age and only five feet tall. She was very round but also had a worker's build, and she kept her blonde hair in a thick bun at the nape of her neck for extra warmth. She had blue eyes and a lightly tanned face covered in freckles. She, too, was chatting.
Emery had been out grooming Valor after several hours of letting Tasia pet her, ride her, and feed her. When he saw the young man and woman, he hurried inside to find Sara.

(Turns out I forgot to allow for drive time so I’m off early haha … can barely feel my fingers. But off xD)
(I’m not sure where my guys would be for all this so I’m just gonna make something up but 1000% feel free to request edits I don’t mind at all)

Ky was, as usual, being clingy. Somehow, to both of them at once. Tadaaki and Aashi had both come outside to make sure Tasia behaved. And before long, it had devolved to Aashi supervising Tasia while Tadaaki leaned against the wall with Ky wrapped around his arm. She had her other hand laced through Zander’s. And they both very patiently stood there this entire time chatting quietly with her and each other.

When Tasia eventually got bored, Tadaaki and Aashi took her inside, but Ky stayed glued to Zander. The two of them started in after Emery, too, not sure what this arrival meant.

(Nice! How was the boat?)

"Have either of you seen Sara?" he asked urgently. "Sera and Rickard are back. They brought friends."

“No.” Ky shook her head, anxious from his energy. “Who are they?”

Were they in danger?

(Oh no! But it does sound fun. I should find a way to incorporate boats and fish into my majors)

"Tristan and his girlfriend." He glanced at Zander. "I have to go look for her; we weren't expecting Tristan. Can I trust you to not commit espionage for ten minutes?"

(Haha keeps things exciting no doubt xD remind me of your major?)

“I’ll do my best,” Zander said dryly. Ky elbowed him in the side, hard. He gave an ‘oof’ and rubbed his side, looking back at Emery. “Kidding. I promise I’ll be a good boy.”

There was nothing he enjoyed more than a good book. He'd wander into the study, take down some leather-bound volume, and eat it.
