"<span style="color: blue">Ah, well thank you!</span>" Calypso tugged on a few strands of her azure hair, blushing faintly from the man's compliment. "<span style="color: blue">I can't go with you to your son's farm, I'm on official business from the king!</span>" She struck a mildly heroic pose at this declaration, which made Trix roll her eyes. "<span style="color: blue">But I <i>can</i> still help you with your problem! Uhm, if you take your cucoo over first, then your corn will be safe with Pepper. Then you can come back for Pepper, and then you can come back for the corn!</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: fuchsia">If he does that, Pepper will eat Pico while he's getting the corn,</span>" the fairy piped up.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: blue">Ah, right!</span>" Calypso frowned, tilting her head to the side. "<span style="color: blue">So take Pico over first, then come back for the corn instead, then you can take Pepper on the last trip.</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: fuchsia">Then the cucoo will eat the corn.</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: blue">Ok, ok! Don't take Pico first. Take Pepper.. no, take the corn. No... argh!</span>" She put her hands to her temples in frustration. "<span style="color: blue">No wonder you're stuck here, this is impossible!</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: fuchsia">It's simple,</span>" Trix replied coyly, a smile finding her petite lips for the first time in the last few days.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: blue">Oh yeah?</span>" Calypso stuck her hands on her hips and glared at her spritely companion. "<span style="color: blue">What's your solution, if it's so easy?</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: fuchsia">Take the cucoo over first. Then bring over the corn,</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: blue">Hah! Then the corn gets eaten while he comes back for Pepper.</span>"<br/><br/>"<span style="color: fuchsia">Once you've brought the corn over,</span>" Trix went on, ignoring Calypso with a growing smile of superiority. "<span style="color: fuchsia">Bring Pico back <i>with</i> you to this side. Leave Pico here and take Pepper over, and then come back one last time to bring her with you.</span>"<br/><br/>Calypso blinked, then huffed quietly under her breath.
