Chaser. Chaser, chaser, chaser... CHASER! "You know, I think I did... I'll have to watch more closely next time." Which wouldn't be a difficult thing, now that he had those fancy pants binocular things. He simply shook his head at her follow up question. It's what he said, she hadn't been, which was fine, because it was all the more reason for her to take him. She would be as entertained as him and all would be well, and then, she'd want to do it again and he wouldn't complain. It was the perfect plan. "Mmmhhhmmm, we will," he agreed.
Zeke's brows knit in curiosity at her confidence. Did she know Emily? Because it didn't sound that way at all. Maybe they weren't really friends after all? "Uh huh..." he enunciated, his expression full of thought. Then that whole rule thing about the pushing, he shook his head. "She's not my mum... she's my Emily, there's a difference. So I don't get to push much, and even if she was my mum, have you lived with her?" ... there was only so much she would take before pushing back, and he'd had enough of goblin revolutions to last him a lifetime. History, was boring, except for when they were reenacting stuff, that wasn't so bad.
His eyes were glued to her as she demonstrated the technique of rolling. Uh huuuuhhhh. Right. "I can do that." Sure, cause if he couldn't do that then he might as well give up on the sport. He positioned his next stone in his hand, blowing on it quickly for good luck before doing his best to mirror her roll. He watched in anticipation as it rolled... and rolled and rolled and rolled..... too far, completely bypassing hers and the jack. "I almost did it."
Zeke's eyes brightened and his smile widened on Emily's approach, he sidestepped up to her, taking her hand in his and squeezing tightly. This was supposed to tell her how much he wanted to stay. Mmhhmmmm. He even added a nod for good measure as Victoria said he wasn't an inconvenience. Seeeeeeee, it'd be cool.
She wasn't comfortable with leaving him, that much was clear, but she trusted Vic to keep him breathing, and trusted him not to wander off in her company -- or if he did, that he would at least keep hold of his compass. Emily grunted lightly before finally nodding, "Okay... alright.. don't hesitate to drop him off the minute he starts getting on your nerves, if I'm unavailable then one of my staff will tend to him." She squeezed Zeke's hand back, her way of letting him know she wasn't thrilled about the arrangement he'd somehow forced on her. Because this was mostly his doing, naturally.
"Thanks Emily!" he beamed, removing his hand from hers to give her a hug instead. He may have been bouncing on the balls of his feet a little as well. HE WAS FREEEEEEE.
"Mmmm... but, you'll be on your best behaviour, and no sneaking off.. got it?" she asked, prying herself from him and lifting his chin with a free hand. Her eyes locked on his.
"Promisseeee," he replied, extending his pinky to make it legit.
Emily shook on his pinky before squatting slightly to his level and pulling him into a hug. She could feel his compass in his breast pocket, so all was well.
"Alright then, I'll see you both later, thanks Vic," she sighed, giving her friend a pat on the arm whilst she still had a Zeke wrapped around her middle. After he had his fill of squeezing the life out of her, she removed herself from his grip and gave an awkward wave goodbye, stepping away until she reached the path again and headed back to work.... without him. Was that guilt she felt?
