Winston was excited to finally deliver some good news.
"Baron is awake!!"
And he gave Lawrence the letter from Rex.
"That's wonderful news!"
"Apparently the Doctor thinks Baron is making remarkable progress..."
"... considering the severity of his injuries."
Winston had a question, "Now that Baron is awake, and it looks like he's going to be okay, do you still need me to go up there every day?"
"Because, I have a little problem," he continued, "As you know, Saphira laid a clutch of eggs recently, and she's been watching them while I was flying back and forth to check on Baron."

"But she had to go back to work, and now our eggs are my responsibility. Unfortunately I can't be in two places at once, so I had to find an egg-sitter. I have some goofy geese looking after the eggs today, but they have to go home tomorrow, and then I'm stuck....."
Monica turned to Lawrence, "Maybe we could help?"

"I think it's important that Winston keeps us informed about Baron, but not at the cost to his own family."
"What if Winston brings his eggs here, and we look after them for him?"
Winston was surprised by the Queen's offer, "Really? I wouldn't want to impose?"
"Are you sure?" Lawrence asked her. "I have all kinds of duties to keep me busy all day, so the eggs would be totally your responsibility."
"Winston is a good friend, and he's performing an important job for us right now, so the least we can do is to help him out."
"Not only would it relieve his stress knowing his eggs are safe, but I think it would also be a good distraction for the children. They are all very worried about their Uncle Baron, and they could use a positive distraction."
"So yes, I'll look after your eggs."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"I really appreciate it."
"I will bring the eggs tomorrow before I head back up north again."
