"Actually, Lut might be moving in"

That from Gerd

"Maybe they could work out something with the landlord. I mean, if they're empty, why not let visitors stay, like an Air B-n-B? But like, as a gesture of good will since they're part ofthe barony.,.." THen a grin. "Or at least at a discount?"

"Well, could bring that up to the chief... though from what I hear, sometimes the Lodge just grows."

She covers up a snicker!"

"hah... it's made mostly of wood right?" Alyce blurts

And she laughs aloud!

Yep. Both Satyrs breaking into laughs

At least one troll llooking confused, then BLUSHING

Blink... then, oh, it's clear when she gets it, as she turns purple.

"Oh come on..that's FUNNY" Alyce says

Gerd blushes 'harder' then says "Actually, Sylvi probably deserves props for strengthening the balefire"

"With more balefire"

"Yar, I am a pirate, cap'n of the SS Morningwood!"

"Wait, how'd she manage that?"

"Oh, it's a story... but we should probably get Alyce to the lodge"

BLUSH.

"Oh, yes! Do you want me wake up sillybutt there? My guy drives a fae Uber." She explains to Alyce.

"Oh, damn, probably... though I don't think all of us will fit."

"I thought we'd fly her there" Gerd says "OR..." Popping her fingers "I'd just flash her over there"

"Flashwhowhatz now?" Alyce says

"I better stay here, if I leave him alone I might come home to find that Lyron stole him away from me. Now that's a fun thought."

"Oh, I got the note that Tove finished the ocarina I asked for - can you please tell your mom THANK YOU for the food, and I'll try to come by to get that soon?"

"Well, thanks for the help, Piper" Alyce says

"Sure!"

"And thanks, Piper, for letting us invade. Place is looking nice!'

She chuckles. "It looks pretty threadbare, but the good news is it's not a lot of space to have to decorate! Alyce, if they don't have a space open for you there, you get your feathery butt back here." She says, firmly. "I have a queen bed and I'll kick loverboy back out to his car and we can have a slumberparty until things are figured out. Honest."

"Cool. Thanks"

Gerd says "Kirk to Enterprise... energize"

And they fade away

well, Gerd, Alyce, and Dagmar!

Alyce going "What the fuuu" And fading from sight

She blinks, eyes wide. "That was weird to watch." And glances up at the bed folded in the wall, and the boy laying in the way snoozing under it... and shrugs, curling up next to him. "Nap time, I guess." And she snuggles until he awakens.

(Until then)
