[ Eddie nods solemnly along with River as she weaves a false tale for the morgue assistant, his eyes enormous and pitiful. It’s a convincing lie, though Eddie has been a visitor in Solvunn for over a year now, and he knows the details are off. He just hopes the morgue worker knows less about the Primary Settlement and doesn’t question anything.
He wraps a comforting arm around River as she devolves into tears, shooting the man a look that says “come on, are you really gonna make her cry?” Between the two, it seems to work. The man gives them a good talking to, leaves, and River pulls away with dry eyes. Eddie bursts into laughter. ]

[ And he couldn’t be prouder! ]
Alright, why don’t we take that break now? I think we’ve both earned it.
