Hey presto, I'm here! Wanna hit me over the head for being absent? :P
Eyeing the stain, Zev pursed his lips in consideration. "Can't you just repaint the whole carpet? I'm sure Denim would love a reason to re-decorate the living room. Or you could just bleach it, that's another option." He took a moment to regard his inner vision of the reaction that would get and couldn't help but smile wide. Returning his attention to the stain, he gave it another moment of thought. "Well... Can't you... steam it out? Isn't that something they do, or have I just made that up? Don't ask me how we'd do that, but I'm putting the idea out there."
At the mention of cleaner shortage, Zev tilted his head slightly. "Well, if that's the case, maybe we can make a run to get some? And maybe get some stain removal advice at the same time." It sounded like a valid idea to him, anyway.
