Eddie blinks, unsure of how to parse the contact. So he focuses on Angel's words as he follows the other man toward the door.
"You get the last word this time," he says, affecting a bit of a grumble. But if Angel glances back, he'll be able to tell that Eddie is really just teasing him.
In any case, Eddie goes into the barn and can be heard greeting Missy and explaining that they have to go into town early (and promising that he'll buy her an apple for making the trip, even "If you're extra good, maybe I'll spring for some sugar cubes...") as he readies her to be hooked up to the carriage. It may be a silly habit, talking to the horse, but it seems to keep her calm and Eddie likes it because it helps him lay out plans for the immediate future.
He, uh... may forget to check where Angel is before leading Missy outside, so her view of Angel is unobstructed this morning.
