Seething in jealousy, Renna takes the initiative!

And it's quite successful!

You would never guess they've only got one bolt from how much they autonomously carry on... without ACR, even.

[kingdomofwildwood]

Everyone on screen right now looks like a massive WLW.

[kingdomofwildwood]

"Renna... you know I don't want to talk about boys, right?"

[kingdomofwildwood]

"Do you girls need a chaperone?"

"Graaaaaaan..."

The mood is ruined. Lahna says her goodbyes, and scarpers back home.

[kingdomofwildwood]

And, in a moment of passion, the girls share their first kiss!

[kingdomofwildwood]

Lahna makes a new BFF- Andy Forester, the girl next door!

Renna can't help but feel a twinge of jealousy...

Hanging out on the grass, talking about black magic #justgirlythings

So much so that some of the other gals join in!

[kingdomofwildwood]

As the girls flirt... and flirt... and flirt...

Athol Shepherd achieves his greatest wish.

HE GETS TO GO HOME.

[kingdomofwildwood]

...If the Watcher and her luck let her, Lahna wants to spend her whole life with Renna, and have it all feel just like this.

[kingdomofwildwood]

Lahna can't stop smiling. Renna is here and she's perfect and beautiful and they're getting to spend some time ALONE TOGETHER without stupid siblings or stupid parents. Life is good, and Renna is better.

The only thing she has to worry about, right this second, is if Renna sees her the same way...

[kingdomofwildwood]

Despite Renna's wandering eye, the date's actually going pretty well. The girls practice dancing...

[kingdomofwildwood]

Lahna loves to admire Renna. Renna loves to be admired.

It's a match made somewhere, though I'm not sure Heaven is it.

[kingdomofwildwood]

It's a date!

The watcher really, really, really wants to fix the carriages in Wildwood; they look way too modern for his tastes.

Renna sees something else she wants to fix.

"We wore the EXACT. SAME. OUTFIT. One of us is going to have to change!"

Lahna decides that Renna looks so pretty in that dress that she'll change to her second-best, warmer outfit...

[kingdomofwildwood]

Unfortunately for Locke, Renna's not having it.

"I'm cute, and pretty, and people like me. And you're a mouthbreather who spends all his time beating people up. No thank you."

"Pond Taverner isn't people!"

"Aaand you knew exactly what I meant because that's all you ever do. Go away."

The Current State Of The Wildwood Teen Love Web:

Renna wants Athol

Locke wants Renna

Lahna also wants Renna

Andy (not pictured) wants Lahna

Renna can't stand Locke

Athol just wants to go home

[kingdomofwildwood]

Locke knows he needs to try to make the best match he can, too. It's even more critical for him than it is for Lahna- he's the eldest son, and even though he desperately does not want to inherit the chicken farm, the odds are good that he'll get it. He needs a good bride with a good dowry to help keep things stable through his lifetime.

The trouble is, no one knows who's going to inherit the chicken farm. Inheritance in Wildwood is weird compared to other countries- in Iskar, say, it's always the eldest male member of the family, and daughters can't inherit anything. But in Wildwood, each family gets to decide whether it's a patriarchy or a matriarchy, and inheritance is handled through that line. The Cuccos' farm belonged to the first Mr. Cucco, who disappeared into the night without telling Nina how his family handled these things-- so it's anyone's guess, really, how Mrs. Cucco is going to handle it.

What Locke does know is that Renna's definitely going to inherit her family's farm. So either he gets both farms to belong to the Cucco family, or he gets a spouse with the leisure to let him fuck around.

...As long has he can stay on her good side.
