Kryner at first had just no inclination of doing it and thought the conversation was dead at that point but heard Delphine say softly some encouraging words. Munching on some carrots from the pantry he paused as he listened to her and felt the gentle rubs on his back. It was very nice to feel and he kept quiet before turning, "Ok baby, thank you for cleaning up after my mess. I'll help clean up when I finish stoking the fire." James pulled Celeste aside and sat down a little flustered maybe he hadn't sweetened the pot enough for Kryner and seeing the family was a little financially unstable he spoke to Celeste.<br/>"Maybe I'll try this route." Walking over to Kryner who was taking the logs into the furnace to stoke up the heat and cleared his throat. "Kryner, son, I know you two are suffering a little bit from this inflation and with the little one on the way, I can assure you if you come to Portage with me for a while... that baby will live like a king. Never even worry about going hungry till they leave this house." That caught his attention and Kryner grimaced before letting out a sigh,<br/><br/>"I'll think about it." He replied without turning his head from the focus of the furnace. James wasn't a businessman for nothing,<br/>"Del will be at a good hospital to deliver the baby, you don't have to worry about any complications if the baby comes around in that time you are at Portage, you'll have everything you could ever need for your family there." Kryner halted what he was doing and took second thinking about the dwindling savings and what kind of money that James was promising would indeed set the family for life, but what about the bar... so much to think on and it was indeed something to think about.<br/>"I'll think about it." He stated simply again before standing up and heading back to help Delphine clean up the bedroom so that it didn't smell like horrible sweaty hair.
