"Yeah but you still helped save his furry ass"

"True! Try telling Odin the same."

"Cats act like it's all going according to their plan"

"Always."

"See... I'm kind of stuck as a dog person"

"Shut up, you like Odin too."

"shhhh" lowering her voice "he might hear you"

"I won't tell."

"Thanks. Fine.. your cat is... juuust a bit cool"

"Cooler than I am, for sure."

"Nope. You are even cooler than a one eyed cat with opinions. You're mi amiga... and you got my back"

"Course I do!" Hand out for a bump.

Bump connection achieved!

"And I got yours. You need an escape hatch some after noon, you let me know"

"Can do."

A smell as they approach Dagmar's home... Tove is in a cooking FRENZY

"Hunh."

Smells delicious!

"I seen this happen... my Cousin... she got into these weird nesting cooking frenzies" Lupe says "You gonna eat GOOD"

"I guess."

"Quick - is it safe to be home yet?"

"oh shoot, no good catch, we got a couple of hours. Okay, new plan?"

"Go roam the woods for a bit longer?"

"Sounds damn good to me, but we look at the horses later right?"

"Sure!"

"Cool" And they head into the woods. It's kind of looking spooky, but let's face it, as a werewolf and giant warrioress, they're the scariest things t here really

And after the lunchroom... yeah.

Unechanted, Lupe doesn't see the same things, but it is nice. And she turns, "you hear that?"

"What?"

"Weird. I..hear footsteps but I don't smell anything" She whispers.

Yeah.. Dagmar hears it too. Heavy steps

She reaches for Flyswatter.

"Korieanne?" A female voice says

"...Neera?"

"Yes.. that is who I am I.. " the figure picks up pace then, ,"Oh..." and there is the female glome

Compared to rough Klump, Neera is.. finely polished. her husk so human in form to be alluring.

"Oh, hey!"

She grins. "You look great!"

"Do I ? It was hard to remember.. Klump said if it walkedd it would do but.." A face "It's my body and I'd rather it look decent."

"Another Earth spirit?" The werewolf asks "Interesting."

Neera stands just over six foot, shorter than Klump, but when she sees Lupe, she frowns, "I think I broke a rule of ignorance."

"Lupe is a prodigal."

"You're of Nature, and she defends Nature."

"Oh... good," Neera says "When he promised me a different sort of magic, I had no idea I would be magic. Of course, Klump, clever necromancer that he is, took advantage" A smile "He hates when I call him Necromancer. Thus making it fun."

"We weren't sure what would happen, either."

"I sort of thought you'd end up a chimera.... but, well, that was a golem-rock..."

"Yes, the attunement was too perfect it seemed. is... is he well?" She does not mean Klump

"He is! Are you up for company? I could bring him to the woods..."

"I would like to meet the Prince again, at his leisure" She says

amused tone to her voice
