This'll be short since I'm leaving for Beige University in a few hours. Rhonda and I are driving together, and Fenton will fly down in the evening after he takes care of some
Hare-Link server issues.
Personally, I think he's prolonging saying goodbye to Tree. He has a great deal of affection for her, and he knows how she gets when he's away. Tree is always busy housing the Hare-Link equipment and making sure the indoor environment is just right to keep them running, but that's nothing compared to her maternal feelings toward Fenton. She wishes she could spread her protective branches over him at all times.
