#anywhere

The House on Martha has really come along, and even Gwen has to admit Thistle's touches improved it. She's had her work, her duty with the dogs, and that has made her feel occupied. Good pups. She's done some work, and she can't deny the elders are nice, but often busy.

She has been... a bit lonely.

She scratch's Ivan's head, "It's okay, boy. I'll suck it up"

Indeed, Ivan has been her anchor in a lot of ways. Well, that and her job. Today though she's at Martha. That guy, Ives DeBuke, seems eager to help, and he's dropped by. Seems nice enough but she's not sure what he wants. It was nice of him to bring her that venison though. She explained she could hunt her own food, and he seemed to be really weird after that. She hoped she hadn't offended.

She was pretty sure she offended the Hearth. She didn't know what prosiac meant until she got time to look it up And I just nodded. Ugh

Ivan sniffs and stands up, all alert

And right after there's a knock at her door.

At that she blinks, and goes down.

The teenager at the door is Kinian, the enchantment bringing her satyr touches to light. "hey? I'm.. Lydia Wayburton. And.. I need your help"

Gwen blinks , but she was bored and she is Daireann so "Would you like to come inside and talk about it?"

Lydia nods and does so "Thanks. I need help, and I need it from Not Rivervale. I've made a terrible terrible mistake..."

Gladiola arches a brow, but closes the door once the girl is in "I'll get some coffee" And so she does

To learn the terrible terrible secret of Lydia Wayburton
