I'm relieved to hear that.
[ Continues living in blissful ignorance for the next hour.... ]
Neither you nor JJ were harmed, were you?
[ He's gonna feel real bad if they were. ]

[ That gets a small smile out of Fred at least.....until he realizes he actually has no idea where he's supposed to be going. ]
Which tree was I supposed to turn right at again?
Which tree was I supposed to turn right at again?
[ What. ]
You said it had a bend, I thought you meant the one that looked like an old woman.
[ Old women are admittedly rather scary, but this one didn't have a face on it. Also, he can't remember how many blocks ago it was. Time to carefully backtrack. ]
And after that, which store was it I'm supposed to turn at?

[ Five minutes later, after he's returned back to the (correct) tree: ]
There are three stores with yellow signs in front. All three are boxy.

[ Cam!!!!!!! But fine, he'll try it.
After another two minutes: ]
I have looked for two minutes and I fail to know which it is.

[ "Take a picture"......oh yes, that functionality, the miniature painting. Yes, he can do that.
After about....ten minutes of fiddling with his phone, trying to hold it at the correct angle so he can best capture the likeness of each building, he finally sends Cam three pictures.
Two are different images of his index finger, with smudges of yellow behind it, and the third shows half a store with the yellow sign missing completely. ]
Which one of these three is it?

[ It's not like Fred bothers to look at his pictures after he takes them so the second one it is! ]
Is it much further from here?

[ Not that JJ had been waiting, but he does feel an immediate relief when Cam reaches for the grapes with his customary enthusiasm. He's glad that if nothing else, this is at least the same. ]
You didn't think you looked rugged enough with the bandana and the goatee? [ He points out, amused as he sits down next to Cam.
Without really thinking about it, he reaches out to settle a hand on Cam's shoulder. It's not so much a gesture of comfort for Cam as it is for JJ—they're not particularly the most open and vulnerable pair of friends, and they hadn't known each other for very long but. It had been a long few hours alone in the house, without a clue regarding what was going on with the rescue mission.
He's just glad that Cam is safe. ]

[ That's—hm. ]
We live behind a oversized boulder?
[ Interesting choice of location. ]

[ Weird. He was so sure there was a boulder in that picture. He would double-check but he doesn't know how to get back to the picture. ]
Can you send another picture?
Can you send another picture?
[ Thanks Cam.
But as it turns out, Cam was correct; there is, in fact, no boulder. Not even a few stray rocks by the front door. ]
How strange. I could have swornd I saw a boulder the first time around.
Thank you, I shall strive to return home within the next quarter hour.
[ Oh yeah and before he forgets: ]
How is Marigold?

My horse. Surely you haven't forgotten her as well?
