The worst part about the whole thing was that he wasn't even stoned

"Hullo down there!" Eddie called over the edge of the slope, cupping his hands around his mouth. They weren't exactly Lassie, but the dogs let him know where Lennox disappeared to. "Ahoy, man overboard!"

He couldn't help it. Even though it sort of hurt his shoulder to do so, Lennox laughed when he heard Eddie's voice and then struggled to sit up. "Man overboard," he agreed, calling back so that Eddie could find him. "Just don't trip on your way down, too, and break your leg. Lily would kill me."

"No, she'd just look at you disapprovingly," said Eddie as he made his way down. It wasn't that Lennox was that far from him, just a little bit hidden. "It's the kids who would kill you. Or me. Possibly both."

"Emmy would never kill me," Lennox said with grin. Although, when it came to Eddie's safety, he wasn't so sure. "Maybe she wouldn't kill anyone if we just let her draw on your cast or something."

Having some rare time to herself, Pam had, unlike usual, gone out for a walk instead of painting or drawing somewhere. For the most part, she hadn't even been paying much attention, keeping to the path and staying to the side whenever anyone else was passing by, but the sounds of barking and someone apparently falling - and landing - were enough to catch her notice. Instinctively, she headed over, wanting to make sure everything was okay, but the sight of Lennox on the ground prompted her to drop into a crouch at his side, expression twisting into one of concern. "Oh, oh, God," she said, wincing without really even knowing what the problem was. "What happened?"

"I decided today would be an excellent day to fall down the side of a hill," Lennox said with a slightly pained groan as he sat up and rubbed his shoulder. He didn't want the dogs or Pam to worry, though, and he grinned at her. "I'll be okay. No head bumps."

"Thank God for that," Pam said, noticeably relieved when he smiled, letting out a breath that didn't quite count as a laugh. Given the situation, that was probably the best they could have asked for, but it still didn't stop her from worrying. "Do you think you'd be okay to stand? Or did you want to hang out on the ground for a while? 'Cause I don't mind waiting with you."

"I kinda think..." But he wasn't sure what else really hurt, so he paused for a moment to take stock of the pain. "My right foot hurts pretty bad," he said after a second. "I don't know if I should walk on it right away."
