Vanna: No, at least I'm not. Not only did I promise Zach I wouldn't...but considering how...much of a mess that whole thing was, it seems best to just...let things progress naturally.
Zach: And I did, in fact wise, up to that there wild goose chase I was on... Honestly, I expect as much when it comes to them gals and Ma, but I'm still real sore you gave 'em the go-ahead on that whole thang...I feel kinda betrayed...
Vanna: Oh Goofball...I...I'm sorry...I didn't...y-you know how it is trying to argue against Ada...and Qali...and especially your mother she...*Sighs* I'm making excuses...it was wrong of me to do that, and arrange that goose chase thing to keep you occupied...we honestly should have never done it...
Zach: *Sigh* I fergive you Kitten...I know how easy it can be to be strong-armed into somethin' you ain't entirely comfortable with by yer over-excited kin...Been dealin' with that since I was a pup...*chuckles* Still...I just...I'm still comin' to terms with the fact Marcus is...y'know...gettin' to that point where he's gonna start seein' gals differently...and...I know I woulda struggled with it then too...but now...like...my position as a Pa aside...it just...feels wrong to force somethin' like that...even iffin' it's obvious them kids feel somethin' fer each other that's deeper than friendship...y'all just gotta leave them alone when it comes to figurin' out that part of their feelin's. You push 'em too hard and it might muck that up...y'know?
Vanna: *Nuzzles the top of Zach's head affectionately* I'm glad we're on the same page...although I'm not sure how well I can prevent his aunts and grandmother from meddling. Or their friends for that matter. I don't exactly know if they know, but I have my suspicions. Still, we can't exactly monitor them twenty-four-seven to keep them from meddling either.
Zach: Yeah...I know...I just...*Rubs his eyes* Dang it!
Vanna: Aww...Goofball are you tearing up?
Zach: Yeah, but I think it's the damn sand...*rubs eyes* I thought I got it all but I keep feelin' grit behind my lids...
Vanna: Honey did find and restrain Ully by the way. Probably about an hour later and three farms over...she had to coax him out of a chicken coop, but he was fine... A little scratched up and covered in feathers, but fine. That said we should probably get you into the eye doctor's office...we don't necessarily want another Hunter needing glasses...
Zach: *Chuckles* Yeah, Vern looks like a total dork...don't wanna go down that road.
Vanna: Actually, I think you'd look...pretty handsome with glasses...*Blushes* not that you aren't already handsome...
Zach: *Blushes, his tail wagging softly* Really? Well maybe I should startle Ully more often...*Laughs*
