[LUNDEGAARD]

So. Bad news. What are we doing?

I don't have 10,000 bullets.

Ophelia, what do you think about having a farm lesson today? We need to get everything inside the walls by tomorrow. All kindling, tree hay, fruit, grass, the last of the crops, everything.

I thought we had a little more time.

I can do that.

I think, for the sake of making sure the crops don't get damaged, it'd be best if we handle the relocating instead of having the kids pick anything.

Thank you, Ophelia.

Can the older children help with the grass at least? It's going to be slow otherwise.

Yes, of course. You're welcome.

Do we have enough things to keep the children occupied when the horde hits? If not, I think we have time to trade with Whitney. Coloring books, puzzles, anything else, do you think? It's going to be a lot of time staying quiet.

A lot of them have at least some toys of their own that they could play with for the time being. I've got some books I can lend out. We have a few decks of cards in the classroom.

If people are already going to the Depot for essentials, then I would not argue against extra items for the kids being tacked on. But I don't think it is worth a trip on its own.

I don't know, I think if a new coloring book can make one of the children feel better about the horde, then it's essential in my mind.

But we will see if we need anything else. [...] If we need anything in Whitney, we can trade in fruit pies. Hah.

~~So you're back to yours-~~ Their happiness would be worth it, but if we need things to weather this horde however we choose to go about it, then those should be the utmost priority even so.

Fruit pies are a good idea. The berries won't last too long on their own.

I'm not going to drop everything for coloring books. But if we can ensure survival without being miserable, why wouldn't we do that?

[...] At any rate. The lemons and limes are unlikely to be ready for harvesting either, but I'm reluctant to leave them on the tree when the horde passes through. Suppose the horde breaks up and destroys the trees.

I was thinking we could preserve the citrus in honey, but we will need Whitney for that.

~~Because you are prone to giving away your own necessities frequently.~~

Those sound like reasonable ideas. I think preserving things in longer lasting food sources is the best option.

If there’s anything else you think we will need, let me know. I will try to get a list to Whitney at the end of the day.

[…] I’m glad you didn’t opt to spend additional days there.

I'm glad I didn't spend additional days there either.

And hopefully all the wanderlust is out of your system. Since we will be stuck here together for the foreseeable future.
