He threw an arm over Clive's shoulder and gave the man a little hug. "Glad to have you back, mate. I ain't ashamed to say I missed you and that accent of yours."[/quote] "[color=F1B338]Glad to hear you missed somethin' other than a dang ole' woman's touch sonny boy.[/color]" the southerner jabbed at the frenchman good-naturedly with a guffaw, slapping Zell on the back "[color=F1B338]Ha, nah boy you're a good feller' a crazy son of a bitch but you gots a heart o' gold in there.[/color]" the farmer gave Zell's shoulder a light squeeze, he looked about the room gauging by the expressions he could tell they didn't really know what to feel about all this. The whole fight with Zigmund and Clive's unexpected return though the simple farmhand couldn't even blame them it was all so much even for him. Few faces he knew were withdrawn, James looked like he'd seen a ghost looking whiter than a sheet from a line of freshly dried linen. Internally he clicked his tongue [i]'[color=F1B338]Something ain't quite right about that boy,[/color]'[/i] while he grunted as he got to his feet and went about to give his old friends a word or two he thought to himself [i]'[color=F1B338]Give em time, he ain't need to be pressed when he looks like he's about to shatter.[/color]'[/i] Clive wasn't no healer but he had a bit better bedside manner than most physicians if he were one that's for certain without a chair really he rested against the wall where Fenna lay, her bird eyeing him up. "[color=F1B338]Howdy there little feller'[/color]" knowing better than to try and pet a bird he gave the intelligent looking little feathered critter a nod "[color=F1B338]You got a good set o' eyes looking out for you Fenna,[/color]" the southerner smiled, though there was some mirth to it "[color=F1B338]I ain't ashamed to admit that I was mighty worried about you, glad you're alright little lady and...Y'know I recall we talked awhile ago and you seemed surprised I wasn't shook by being well you know in another world.[/color]" "[color=F1B338]Well, I ain't said it but I was shook just didn't want to admit it. But ya'll were shook too, so I did what my old man did years ago and kept face to make sure others wouldn’t falter.[/color]" As he spoke, he made it certain that he wasn't just speaking to Fenna but looking around and admitting to his friends and new acquaintance he had been afraid too "[color=F1B338]I think my old man put it perfectly 'It's not about protecting people from themselves, it's about keeping em sane in this crazy world we live in' don't think he knew how true them words were.[/color]" he laughed crossing his arms. [quote=MacKenzie]"It wouldn't take long to reach Valhiem by wagon, seeing as we walked here and it only took an afternoon," she said to the others. "I think that a quick nap and some food would not hurt, but perhaps a direct and prompt heading for the city hospital would be the wisest course of action." She shrugged weakly and apologetically. "In truth, I am not sure."[/quote] Clive tilted his head to the side and scratched his chin with a rough finger "[color=F1B338]Can't say I can argue with that, they better have some gosh darn clothes an' a bed cause my bones are ache'n up something fierce! Sounds mighty fine to me.[/color]" with that he gave a reassuring nod to MacKenzie and stood rolling his shoulder.
