Shine was overjoyed at the idea of the picnic, she'd planned it pretty carefully so that Scotch had hopefully got no idea. She'd quietly spread the word and made sure with the location that she got Scotch and the kids out of Carrion territory, but without the added pressure of the packed trading post. She just hoped people would show up to something that had been thrown together so quickly, was bring your own and was so close to 4th July.
Shine knew she'd have to let them go soon, and as Scotch's confidence improved he'd have to start trading his skills to get ahead out here, and go and see Marnie about getting the kids into the school. So getting him out to enjoy his birthday and hopefully meet some new people, have a little fun, and get drunk enough to drop his inhibitions a little. Maybe ask her something really, massively, important.
With a little help from the kids, Scotch had been distracted enough for her to run off and set the picnic up, and now had one of them holding each of his hands while she covered his eyes to lead him the last part of the distance to the river.
