I seriously don't doubt that for a sec. [For a moment there, the playful tone of Norma's voice is actually sincere. She is wholly aware of Fenimore's temper and how spiteful she could be. Norma has experienced it firsthand on a number of different occasions for various reasons.

But her kindness and understanding - the latter more so than the former - puts Norma at ease just a little bit. So long as Fenimore's not giving her a speech or a lecture, then she's at least got one thing off her chest. Grune is all that's left to deal with now and, frankly? Norma would have preferred getting steamrolled by Fenimore's temper any day.]

Thanks again, FenFen. It's probably gonna take me a while, but I'll be back home by the end of today. Promise.
