Hi. [ Ned ducks inside past her, wondering if he should say something about the man who has gone missing. He decides against it for the time being, and merely begins looking for the kitchen so he can put all of the things down. They are getting rather heavy. Once he's found the kitchen he sets them all on the counter and turns to get a good look at River and see how she is holding up. She'd seemed so distressed, earlier. ]

Sorry I took so long. [ He waits a beat, asks, quietly ] So, what do you say? Do you want to talk about it and then make pie, talk about it while making pie, make pie and then talk about it, or make pie and not talk about it at all?
