Just something about whenever Horo calls Lawrence a fool is pretty entertaining
.
But really a nice way of settling things. Lawrence going to give Horo the money he had I'd assume so she could make her way North solo. Since if he's not going to have enough money to give might as well hand it to Horo who could do something with it.
Of course Horo assumes blame for what happened and wants him to put some on her rather than keeping it all himself. Horo should avoid swinging chairs as weapons
. Gotta love the look of "hey get a clue and hug me."
The brilliance of Horo shines through with this plot. Given enough time to think she can figure out a way out of most things. The gold comment from a few episodes comes back big time here. It's definitely risky, but better that then the mines. Not like the company can easily refuse since taking Lawrence won't solve their problems.
It's a plan that if it succeeds will win out for everyone. Noora will get the money she really needs and so can get out from the church that is really just waiting for bad things to happen to her. Lawrence doesn't get sent to the mines or something and die. Horo gets with Lawrence back on his feet a way to get more apples
