The Coxes and their respective plus ones had dinner at the Cox Farm. Literally everyone loves Jane, as she (and Clea, who is her mother’s daughter), are the beacons of light and joy in their family. As such anyone who was not there would probably have gotten words from James.
This was Hugh’s first time sitting at dinner as Marceline’s boyfriend. Marceline was fairly nervous about it, introducing him with a too casual, “so, yeah, this is Hugh,” before going to the fridge to grab a beer because she was going to need it.
Hugh was the epitome of chill on the outside, dying on the inside, and was really keen to make a good impression. Jane was friendly and sweet, as she does, and the two bonded over being from Seattle, leading Hugh to help her with dinner!
He had less luck from James, whose Spirit Animal is a Troll. He enjoyed using his Stoic Face to the max and enjoyed taking what opportunities he could to dial up the Awkward Dial, and at a point even made a point to ask Hugh if he is, “enjoying the town? The Weather? THE FAIRE??”
At which point Marceline gagged and choked on her drink. Hugh did not pick up on the uptake, but because of Marceline’s reaction knew he had missed SOMETHING.
There was general chatter throughout the night and Hugh really tried to bond with Marce’s family: he asked Clea how wedding plans were going. He asked Seb if he got an Instant Pot.
They were all together as the power went out, at which point most of the Coxes put on some practical work clothes to get to work moving around the animals and doing damage control with the crops. Hugh borrowed a pair of boots, but the right footwear did not give him the knowledge he needed to act with skill. He floundered, but was happy to take direction.
He ended up falling in the mud at one point, ruining his Nordstroms Jeans.
After the chaos was over with, Marceline tried to be The Most Slick and brought up the fact that Hugh probably shouldn’t be driving in this weather. It’s unsafe.
To which Jane said he is definitely welcome, and James added that the couch in the den is very comfortable.
