[ If the sass is an indication of returning to some level of normalcy, Hilda will happily take it - even if it'll be the last thing she'd admit to anyone's face. Sass she knows how to deal with. Trying to help people through trauma that they experienced while she wasn't there? That's a little bit more difficult. ]

I'll need a grand tour once we're done today which - [ She catches herself, realizing what she's saying. ] is the only time that I'll ever ask you to meet in the Horizon. Just know that I expect it to be decked out in fun dinosaurs and an actual submarine by the time I get there.

[ The teasing and conversation about the Horizon is put on pause for the time being. Reaching the boundaries of the farm, Hilda actually does make good on her promise to do all of the talking and with minimal flirting to boot. Hilda didn't think it would be that difficult to convince the farmer anyway considering she had promised they'd stop here first on the way back with their water. Before they know it, they've hitched the horse (Maple) to the cart and they're on their way back down the hill in style. ]

See, now that wasn't so bad, was it?
