Frank takes a big drink of beer, and rubs his eyes. "As soon as she can, probably."

"I mean, do you think it'll take her a year or ... I don't know. I'm not a noble"

"I haven't asked."

"Mmph" His turn to ponder "Well, hope she comes back soon. You get sulky when she's away"

"She'll come back to visit. Was here for mother's day."

"Yeah? Jess too?"

"Sometimes. She was here mother's day, yes."

"NICE. .no wonder you were all grins." A sigh "I don't know what I'm going to do with Sylvi."

He drinks "I wonder if I can get Colton to move to this area regular? Find a replacment at the dark gate? "

Frank gives him a Look.

"Might look into colleges in Rome."

"She doesn't want to go to college" He scowls

"Because.. hair dressing and make up..which she IS good at" He admits "But I'd feel better if she got a big diploma"

Frank nods. "Look for cosmetology schools. In Rome."

"Why are you trying to banish my daughter to Rome? She's already planning on being there I think but .. why make it a lock?"

A shrug. "You said you didn't know what to do with her. Just suggestions."

"Mmm well, maybe if I point out some kind of benefit/ reason to it.. I don'tk now . I'll talk to her mother"

Frank nods, sips his beer.

Frank's beer tastes champagne

well LIKE champagne

Frank swallows, eyes the bottle. Miller High Life?

Olgar takes a sip of his and BLINKS And looks at HIS bottle

The bottles look fine, the stuff looks like beer, but it tastes like Champagne

Frank frowns and gives Olgar an accusing eyebrow. Not -very- accusing, but.........

"Yours too?" Olgar asks

"Mine too what?"

"Taste like something besides beeer" he says Sniffing it "Smells like beer. it's just the taste"

"Wine."

"Mine is like Champagne" He sniffs

Frank nods. "A kind of wine. Mine too."

"Great." he scans the area while looking at the bottle

"I.. thought i saw something in that tree..." He admits

Frank puts the bottle down and goes to look.

While the little garden snake is trying to hide.. frank notices it

"Eden?" A soft rumble.

Sheepish snakey look

It's Eden

Frank offers his massive hand for her to coil onto.

She does.

Frank brings her over to Olgar.

"You that bored, Eden?" Olgar looks at her.

Snakes don't quite give sheepish grins but she tries

"Drop the fuddle on our tastebuds or the beer" Olgar says

And she does.

"Please."

"Thank you."

She writhes up his arm and onto his shoulder.

"Do you need help, Eden?"

She shakes her head, but if that's a lie or not hard to say

"Would you like a moment of privacy?"
