"Wow.." Siv stops at one because darn, foot long, but she says "Okay, this weird to say, but your ketchup is amazing."

"Oh not mind, but we have a cook who makes it..not the storebought stuff" Lena says "You try the mustards?"

"Was it the same guy as earlier?"

"The boggan?"

"No no, nother boggan...his sister in fact. She's shy."

And then the brief case is brought up.

"Oh, gotcha. Well, tell her it was good?"

"I will, you guys drop by anytime" Lena says "And it will be provided. Food is part of haven after all but sure I'll tell her. Oh, hope it's okay if all 10,000 is in the same case? Count it if you want to."

"It's fine, we'll split it up at home."

"Right. You've been a fair dealer, COuntess. We're just glad we could help and you were so generous"

Siv nods

Grunt. "Fair price. Thing was lethal."

"Yeah.. oh... you guys need healing" Lena says "i'm so used to fixing machines I forget about people. You want a heather balm?"

Siv looks at Dagmar and nods "Might be best not to worry the folks at home you think?"

"...True. Kerri might freak out. Or your dad."

"And your dad would knock folks over with a grunt"

Lena says "Fun families sounds like"

"Trolls." A shrug.

"Right..hang on... I'm not as good with non machinery" The sidhe says then says "You... wounds? I banish you! Burns , begone" She stamps her foot.

and magic ripples.. it's not as strong as Kerri could do. But it gets them both.

and the burns do lessen.

"There you go," Lena says

"Hey, important thing is our hair isn't standing up" Siv says. "Ready to go, Dagmar?"

"Yep."

"Hey, thanks for everything. Dougal are alright."

"Oh no, we've got our jerks like anyone else, "lena says with a light blush "But we're usually straight shooters period."

Siv grins "She likes straight shooters. So do I." And the two head off to the trods.

"Holy shit, five grand! EACH!"

"Yeah.. I'm uh.. stunned. What the hell do we do with.. I mean, sure, 2,500 for me after I help but.. that's still so much"

"I dunno. Could buy a car with that money, or, like, a new phone..."

"A bike?"

"Maybe... I'm like..wow"

A smmile "I can buy mom and dad something nice"

"You could!"

"I've never had this much money in my entire life."

"Hey, five thousand could get you in a community college maybe?"

"College is so far away. I want to get something cool now."

"Well, heck, you got five thousand, you can probably do both ... little for this, lot for cool... etc"

"Yeah..."

"Dude, I could get a pair of real Jordans..."

"The ones that cost like a hundred plus dollars? For shoes?"

"Exactly. There's this black and purple pair..."

"Wow. I cannot imagine spending that on shoes... but hey, your money" Siv says with a smile "Hah! You could get Odin a gold collar"

"Heh.

"I ..wow. I'm not sure what I'll do."

"Dunno. What do you want?"

"I have what I want mostly... good home to come to, a great ship to leave it, good fam. You know, I get it... you're right. I've been hashtag blessed most of my life. " A smile "But mmm"

"Mmmm?"

"I want to do something nice for mom and dad. If.. if all goes well. Maybe something nice for them.. they already had that trip to Norway"

"How can you not want to spend it on yourself?"
