---------------------

It's only two miles away, the 'Ironhawk' House. One could call it the king residence, but that would just confuse. Frank ought to know, he doesn't live here and he was the first King of Bergen... puns do result.

Frank uses the walk to think.

The trees along his path are thick... some folks would probably suggest they be torn down, more room made of a lawn of rich trim grass.

Jaymes has snorted at the suggestion of such a place. And his daughter appears to have agreed. With Tove as well, that makes three. You can actually not see the house unless you get closer.

And Frank sees Jaymes getting out of the car. He's back from work.

Over Frank's dead body.....

Frank lifts his hand to his brother in greeting.

Jaymes returns the gesture, with a nod of inquiry.

He makes his way over.

Jaymes asks "So. Things good?"

Frank tells him about the dragon.

"..... Olgar's taking care of the trods and we've notified everyone we can think of." He finishes.

"mmph." A pause "That's bad." Then deeper admission "On Thyle they tell horror stories about that dragon."

"Brekke has some memories. I have... twinges." Dry.

"Twinges here too" He says "Side of my face."

"Left arm. Thought for a second it was my heart."

"maybe we should call the damned wyrm Skall-Stroke" deadpan, "Want me to ask Tove and Torin if they have stories about him? Must be a weakness.. a da'an. Right? I mean, you are mountain, you know better than I"

Frank nods. "I've done some reading, but more information is always good. At least we have a little time."

"Samhain? " he frowns "That's.. the worst timing"

"Yep." Grimly determined.

"Can we find it first while it rests? Kill it?"

Frank nods slowly. "We could try. I'll talk to Emmitt. Thank you."

"How're things here?"

"You're welcome" A pause at the question, "Sam's...mmph. She's riled. This boy. Adam."

Brows knit, confusion...a touch of frustration "seems like a good kid. But acting like he's mistreated.. not that Dagmar says it's him, but she's getting ideas."

Frank leans forward. "You've met him?"

A nod "Seems okay. But...Sam is going on about how he's being treated like a second citizen. She had opinions with Tove. I think... my daughter sees things like he's one of us, we should take him in as a lodge like we took her in. I think she's projecting some, at least, Tove does. Adam himself is... he's a likable boy. Vali says that might be the problem. He's not used to working for acceptance. That said- He's trying hard to hold our secrets and to the oath." A shrug "Still not sure. Sam's been acting odd since he came in. If it were any girl but Sam I'd swear she was .mmph"

An eyebrow. "Mmph?"

"mmph I swear if it were any teenage girl but Sam, that she's got a bit of a crush." Brow knit, then a look, "I love her, not changing that, but one big perk was she was above that hassle ."

Frank looks like he doesn't know if he's going to chuckle or groan.

Brow "It's not funny. He's a boy. She doesn't like boys. Keeps it simple."

"Well. Kid's got Sidhe blood, we think. So he's handsome, and yes, likable. Didn't open up to me, mind. Tried to let him know that I'm basically on his side, but......"

"mm... House thing again?" Not sure what else it can be.

He nods. "Think so. Both why he didn't open up to me and why I'm on his side. From what I understand, he was seeing Chimera -before- he was Enchanted. I don't know we could have kept him in Ignorance, and that's the Dreaming's decision, not ours."

"You have more faith in the Dreaming than I do"

Mph

Sam hikes back from the Lodge, wearing jeans and muddy boots. Somebody was riding a horse. "Hey Dad, Hey Frank. Dad, Adam's coming over later for fight training. Cool?"

Tilt of her father's head (Chores done?)

"Not yet. Gonna take care of the animals and then shower before he gets here."

"mmph. Okay. Chores and stuff, then okay. But not past bed time"

"I got time!" A grin and she slips inside.

Frank gives Jaymes an eyebrow.
