you’re on your own, kid

Midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights

Fortunately for Thorn, he didn't seem to have drawn the short straw with regard to building the healing river that would be coming to King's End - which meant that it was fortunate for Noe, too, who might have felt the need to offer her assistance had he been tasked with something so monumental. Digging out a river, after all, was a much larger thing than charming some unicorns, at least in Noe's mind. She had the utmost confidence in Thorn's abilities either way, but the manpower required for one would be much higher than the other.

In any case, Noe continued to roam alongside her friend as they neared the Refuge and the rain began to slow. "Horse snacks sound like a plan," she said brightly. She may not be a horse trainer, but surely a little bribery would go a long way with the creatures. Who didn't like snacks, after all?

Speaking of which, Thorn's stomach chose that moment to growl. Noe hid a smile behind a hand. "Snacks and drinks!" she declared, steering them into the adorable cafe decked out in pink and green, blending beautifully into the surroundings despite the dreary clouds above. Perusing the selection of pastries, Noe quickly honed in on a chocolate-filled croissant sprinkled with nuts. "Ooooo," she said, mouth already watering. "This is going to be so good."

Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise
