Doc managed a satisfying smile as he went for the drinks. A break through! She came around even if only just a little. He returned to find her relaxing on the couch and handed her the opened beer. He sat on on his chair nearby and looked at the bottle.
"Yup, I have forgotten how good these are. I usually enjoy my Scotch but this? This isn't so deadly."
He then looked at her in the couch. She was comfortable. He smiled a bit, "I did a lot of thinking in that couch. A lot of great ideas came from it. My eldest daughter used to sit in it, wanting me to play something on the piano."
He snickered, "Little squirt. Seems like yesterday."
"You know, if you're interested in helping those children, I can arrange it," he explained. "A lot of them have been moved off of the planet due to the cold but some do remain. Quietly, I bring many to Planet Erie where it's relatively unspoiled and still mostly Zoner."
He looked at her with a more business like tone, "So, um, are you interested? It won't take me much to make that happen."
