Patti's face went slack and her gaze fixed on something barely visible in the back corner of the kitchen. There was a solid 30 seconds of stunned silence."Is... is that... is that it?" She stood and stared some more. She took a few steps towards the kitchen."That's it. Butter..." She ran into the kitchen and pulled the butter churn out from behind a chair in the corner. She sat down, popped it open and looked at the insides."Do we have some cream? Salt?"

Breg- "I can make cream out of the rest of the milk, and we have some salt. It won't be a lot of butter though... I'm afraid we don't have anything like a real dairy to contend with..." Breg offers her the rest of the milk to separate out into cream.

Rob had made himself a nice little breakfast and settled down in his favourite chair. He turned off at all the food talk and amused himself in the pages of a good book, occasionally raising an eyebrow over the excitement given over a few goats and cheese. He was a bit spoiled here.

With some time and a little effort, Patti would be able to make herself a little bit of butter. It isn't much, but it's something. It's soft without the proper cooling and molding process. Breg- Breg smiles, and sits back in the chair. "Is there anything else you folks need? We'll be happy to do what we can..." Ashley- "Maybe one of those cars we came back in. It'll be hard to bike back. I don't think we'll make it all the way, but it's better than nothing. Apart from that, I'm sure we'll be back to talk about the goats." Breg- Breg blushes. "I know our animals are coveted by many people, I... I know it sounds selfish, but I don't know if we can give them to everyone, we'd like to try to keep enough to maintain a colony. One or two might be ok, but I'd always worry that on a bad day they'd become dinner rather than providing milk or making a colony..." Breg looks down at his feet. He obviously feels bad about putting down ground rules about their livestock. "We've had people try to steal or beg our chickens from us... I'm pretty sure someone died trying to steal them..."

Patti was only half in the conversation, lightly salting and then spreading the butter and a piece of crusty bread."We won't come begging for your goats unless we have something very useful to offer. We actually have a lot--" She couldn't wait any longer and took a big bite out of the bread. Here eyelids fluttered then closed and she made a somewhat unseemly noise. She sat completely oblivious for a solid minute before finishing her statement."Where was--oh--we have a lot of chickens, enough that we actually have enough eggs to provide a primary protein source for a couple dozen people. We were lucky enough to find a rooster early on and we've got some chicks running around already. Hmmm... not sure I had a point. But we won't try to get one over on you." "Goddamn this is delicious."

Rob raised an eyebrow."I'll have what she's having..."

Breg- "If she'll share. That's the last of the milk..." Breg stares in her direction, but decides to let her make the decisions around here."Lovely morning..." Ashley wishes his ideas had been that good. Then again he didn't remember what that thing was.

((Rob wasn't serious, it's a famous line from "When Harry met Sally"))

Breg- To visitors- "Do...you guys? Need anything else? We have plenty to spare..." He smiles awkwardly, and finishes drinking his coffee. "I was thinking, Robert...You said you were separated from your crew... Where were you separated?"

Rob looked up slightly bewildered from his book, almost choking on his breakfast."Aaah I think it was north from here? Close to the water… I think. We were filming close to a park when it all happened… Sorry. I remember what the house we were in looked like if it helps..."

Breg- "I know it's been a long time, but maybe we can search for clues... I...I imagine they were your friends... I have a map of the area if you want to tell me where you last saw them.." He puts his hands on his knees and leans back into the chair.

"Ha friends… Sort of. I would like to try, I do feel err… responsible for them. I can take a look at a map. I think I might have an idea of where I lost them and now I have back up so.."

Breg- Breg runs off to the bookshelf to look around, and after a little bit of fuss and fuddle, finds a fold-able map, like one found in gas stations, and brings it to Robert for inspection. It looks like this: Ashley- Ashley leans over to look at the map himself. It is unclear whether he understands what they are planning, or what part of the conversation he started paying attention to.

Rob took a long look, examining it closely and sighing before his finger landed on a marker."I think that was the park, it'd be a good place to start I think… Definitely in that area… Yeah." He pointed to a small park just north of Madrona's border near the lake.
