…talking up a storm, that is…  Ha!

Notice how quiet Baldy is now…  letting Mark prattle on.  He doesn’t want another dose of Trailian Justice…  But then Mark seems to have lost his touch- usually the fisticuffs are what ends a story, but I guess not now…

So as the wormhole opens upon the prairie, we have Sheriff Don making his way, the FBI staying home, and Cherry at Lost Forest not even slightly concerned about the FBI calling her…  And Lone Elk given up for dead.
