Happy Returns

Despite getting eggs thrown at him (chocolate or no), it's been a good day so far. He's had coffee. He's spent a little time at church, though not much and all of it sort of hiding in the back. He's taken one of the better swims he's had recently. And now he and Abby are a minute or so away from Eostre's hut, because there's still the matter of her present.

And if she hurls things, more fool her.

"She hit me with an egg," he says to Abby, grinning a little and still amused. "Chocolate, but still."
