As Ezra set Cliff back into his chair in the homey kitchen, the goat Ferin was in a decidedly better mood. He didn't grumble or shout - he even said hello to Deek when they came back through the house.
Ezra walked into the living room to catch up with the foxy Deek after saying his goodbyes to Cliff.
"So…what the heck was that all about?" she pried, keeping her voice somewhat low so as to not be overheard.
"We helped each other out," he said, grinning. "And Deek, maybe I can help you next."
Ezra boasted a confident smirk. He'd gained 40 FP so far, and was feeling good about his trip with Cliff. Deek, being one of the only people Ezra knew in this world, was a logical next step.
"Eh?"
"What do you want?"
"Tonight? Chicken."
"I mean…in general," Ezra laughed. "The thing you want more than anything else in the world. Your deepest desire. Would you be willing to share it with me? I want to help you reach it."
