We've got some new chicks. Let me know if you want to see 'em.

Some of them are silkies, so they're extra cute.

Hi there. I'm Emmett, Lundegaard's livestock guy. Since we're all helping each other out and all, thought I'd offer to come check out your stables. I'm not a vet, but I've got some farrier training, so I can take a look at hooves, too.

Just figured I'd offer. No pressure, though. Thanks for your time.

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe we could build an extension for the barn or something, if that would help?

If this is what you need. I don’t wish to make work for you. And it goes without saying I will stay out of your way. I understand there is a certain pleasure to be taken from working in solitude, and I would not begrudge you that.

I just don't like to burden other people. It's not because I don't want to be around you, or anything like that. I like you.

I'll gladly accept some help if it's benefitting you, until you feel like it no longer is.

I understand. […] It is my constant fear that my presence is a burden. […] I also like you. So that is good.

Then yes. This sounds mutually beneficial to the both of us. We will extend the barn. Do we have enough material for the project, or should I work to procure?

We can put some music on, it'll be fun.

There's some wood from that shed we tore down, but we might need more, depending on how much you think we can build? I'm not sure. I defer to you on this.

Yes, fun. […] 😎

It would not hurt for us to have more nails, at any rate. I will talk to Roswell and Gideon about another trading run with Whitney. Perhaps we can accrue enough good will for a bargain.

Sounds good. Thank you, John. Let me know if you need anything else from me.

If you could sleep a little more, I would appreciate it.

I'll do my best.

Talk to you later, John.
