It appeared to Kon, that Dallas had cleared two full tables worth of pies. He had eaten every stray bit that he could reach of pie that had missed his mouth or stuck to him from pies hitting him. But he was still covered in pie.

Kon watched CathBran head of in the direction of the river. Picking up a yet untouched pie, Kon grabbed Dallas' arm and showed him the pie. Leading Dallas this way, they made it to the river bank. Backing Dallas up with the river behind him, Kon placed his booted foot in the middle of Dallas' big gut and gave him a shove. Dallas fell deeply into the river and began to splash around.

Kon found a tree shading the bank, sat down and for the first time that day, ate some pie while the river cleaned his friend.
