Mr. Dyer says "Sure... you caught it you cook it..or wwhatever" the jovial man says

"Dad? " Tikki says "Ahem"

"Oh.. one tooth for Tikki." The big man says

Tikki nods, then looks at Adam and Symon "my kith is quite straightforward so I'll just say that gratitude can be a heavy burden." And he bows to them, but kung fu style

A wary eye, waiting for the joke, but then he bows back a bit in return.

Adam goes with a nod. "Uh, how do we get it out of there?"

Mr. Dyer looks down "Basement. Tikki, could you show them the stairs down to there?"

"I could climb down the shaft, but not carry it back up... yeah, that works better." he agrees with Mr. Dyer.

"Nice seeing you again, Adam. Glad your folks haven't grounded you. Symon, good to meet you" Etsie says

Tikki points and then goes that direction

"Bye, Miss Etsie." He gives her a cocky grin and saunters after the others.

"Pleasure." He replies to Etsie, and he does seem intrigued by the oldest fae he's ever seen. A miracle in preservation, beyond even embalming - oh, but Adam is leaving. A polite nod and he follows.

That way, and into the stairway...then down... and then... on the ground floor, there's another door that says 'Basement'. Turns out the pooka has a key, and opens it leading them into the basment and... flicking lights on which fzzi and flicker a bit... they go to the elevator . A button is pressed... and chimerical shark blood oozes out... and there's the corpse. SOME teeth are already busted out of it's mouth.

"Huh." Adam regards it. "We shoulda brought a rope."

"Ok, so... grab it and pull it out? Symon, dude, I don't know how to skin this thing....."

"Bitchin." Symon admires the collapse and shatter of how the corpse hit. "Tikki, was it? Want to pick the teeth you want?"

He nods, and plucks a good solid large one, taking it "Sorry, that was the last one." And that's all he takes

"Let's take the whole thing if we can. Don't forget I have a brother that's always hungry. A few pounds of chimerical meat will sweeten his attitude considerably."

Good hand strenth for a pooka, he loosened it with a twist and took it

"...foster brother." He corrects, but as an after thought.

"A -few- pounds? Dude....."

A blink, "Just like that? You guys must be trolls"

"We could call him over. He can bite it into reasonable pieces. Faster than MY tiny knife, anyways."

"You sayin' your knife is dinky?" Adam grins. "Dunno, man, how big you want this to blow up? The more people who know, the more people know."

"Dirk can keep his mouth shut. He generally does once he latches onto something." A morbid, toothless grin.

"He's an asshole but it's your shark." Adam concedes.

"Our shark." He shrugs. "Or if anyone asks, your shark. I don't need to get a rep as some sort of Thane for folk to call on in trouble." He looks somewhat ill at the idea.

Tikki raises a brow "Humility is the begining of not getting robo calls?"

"And yeah, Dirk might be an ass, but he's mine, and it ain't a bad thing to have a Shark on my side." Sendign a text to the redcap. "U hungry? Got some meat here that needs portioning up." With the address.

"Some -sort- of Thane, yeah." he snorts a bit bitterly. "Ok, so.... hey, if you call Dirk, can he get you home? I mean, I can give you a ride if you want."

"Dirk doesn't have a car, but Ann Marie might drive him over. I never really ask how he gets places. Plausible deniability. But yeah, if you want to go find your twins or whatever, I can get home."

"Or I could give you a lift" It's.. Jonas

It would appear he's the 'lodge help'

"Oh." He looks over - well, up - at Jonas. "They got you moonlighting on Ann Marie over here? How many jobs do you have?"

But, cordially enough in tone.

"A plethora " he says and blinks "is that a shark?"

Adam fades back just a little.

And Jonas does notice Adam, "I thought your parents grounded you from this particular domain?"

"It was a shark. Adam and Tikki murdered the hell out of it." And then he adds, "If Adam hadn't been here, someone probably would have been eaten by this shark that someone was supposed to be killing. So maybe lay off on the narcing."

Jonas raises a brow at the narcing part "Well, Dreaming forbid I not join in on a conspiracy of obfuscation for yucks and shark killing. Fine, his honor is his own."

Tikki blinks and looks at Symon "And I thought my words were as wind in a labryinth"

Symon looks a little surprised at himself for speaking up, and maybe a little embarrassed.

"Think you can help me haul this thing home? I have some ideas for the teeth and skin, and I think Dirk would like the meat, if no one else wants it."

Adam just lifts his chin and says nothing.

Jonas whispers over the shark "Miniaturize, diminish, shrink, reduce, downsize"

And it does.. dwindling to no bigger than a small bass.

Jonas then picks it up "I think I can manage"

Tikki winces "Never heard of fin reduction OUT Of the cold water before"

And the kinain smirks.

A glance over at Adam. "What's your weapon proficiency?" A beat. "I mean, you preferred weapon?"
