>>5896207The journey towards Pinewatch went without any road distractions. That is, unless you count Millie inching closer towards Craig, a playful smile on her face.
"So, Craig! What do you think of Rosa? She's your... older cousin, am I right? Isn't she cool?"
You pick up what she's playing at, and sidle yourself closer to Craig as well.
"Yeah Craig, what do you think of me? Or maybe you'd like me to ask you what you think of Millie instead? Isn't she sweet?"
Poor boy is blushing fiercely green under the combined assault of teases. Nevermind his ear rubbing on Millie's, and the fact that your own braid is tickling his other ear...
"Uhh, s-stop it, you gals... You're both cool, and sweet!"
Daww, he's so cute when he's flustered like this. But, the Autowagon comes to a rolling stop, and Lightning Ling's voice can be heard over the rising crowdly ambience.
"We've arrived at Pinewatch! Last stop for the Lightning Ling express, unless you want to charter me some more, heh."
You step outside, and the piney fresh scent of the surrounding wilderness caught you off-guard, if for a bit.
"Thanks, Ling - you're so fast, there's still a lot of supplies left over!"
Indeed, only a small portion of edibles were consumed - as well as only half the Autowagon fuel. Ling is very effective, and could be an asset to consider.
"Yeah, well, that's not my problem now. If you need my further services, I'll be at the hotel until I get chartered again."
Ling, assisted by Clyde, starts to unload as Valencio stepped out.
"Well, that was a nice nap - we're at Pinewatch already?"
Nemo exited next, and responds to Valencio's idle inquiry.
"Yes, and it seems we're going to have to sell some of these excess supplies, or trade them for other things here. I think there's a general store around here?"
Millie and Craig descends next, with Craig going first and helping Millie, all gentlemanly-like.
"Me and Clyde are going to meet with an informant of ours first - we should be quick. We'll meet again at the hotel to discuss our next step."
Millie winks at Craig, whose cheek flare with green yet again.
Right, now you have all these extra supplies. You could help Valencio and Nemo carry them to the store... or you could stroll around, get info on the North around here. You're not exactly built for heavy lifting. Or, you could secure a room at the hotel - if Nemo hadn't reserved one for the crew, that is.
