"Then mostly in my free time I help old ladies across the street and contemplating freedom from material temtpations after a nice salad" An almost TROLLISH expression of sobriety.

"Hmmph."

NOW he smiles. His mood much improved

Maybe this wilder generation is gonna be all right

"You'll come by the Lodge sometime?"

"I'd love to" And he means it

"Good." Frank pauses a beat. "Anything else going on I should know about?"

He says "Adam, Piper... Siv is better... I don't THINK so sir." A pause "my mom maybe a bit freaking about the guns thing. Just and FYI if you drop by"

A nod. "I'll keep that in mind. How bad was the break up? Adam and Piper, I mean."

"Not sure... but Adam shut down and became a cave dweller in his room... sent Nab out, or atl east Nab THINKS he did... and Piper... she... " A sigh "She hates that she hurt him and is beating herself up a bit. But that was time ago. Oddly enough, the helping Siv thing may have taken her mind off it for a bit"

"Hmm. Ok."

A sigh "Sorry, Mountain. Adam isn't really chatty about this. Can't blame him"

"Breaking up with someone you care about can be....well, devastating. Hurts. He'll recover, I think."

"Probably.. just wish her were a satyr instead of a sidhe in waiting. Satyrs tend to roll out of it faster, it stings MORE but.. ah woh knows"

"Mm. Don't discount the feelings of others. My advice."

A frown "Not what I meant, sir."

An eyebrow. "Implied."

"Inferred" He protests

"Mm. Think about it?"

A sigh "I wished their pain was over faster. I'm not discounting the pain."

"You said, 'it stings MORE'. More than what? How do you measure that?" Frank says, not judgmentally or demanding, but more just to point it out.

"Because I've been a boggan and WITHOUT Passions's price, the kith flaw... emotions are more intense for satyrs" He says

Frank nods thoughtfully. "I've never.... I don't -remember- being any other kith. And certainly, satyrs are known for strong, mercurial emotions."

"You thought we were faking it?" A smile now "It's okay sir, it's part of the dreaming's glorious diversity"

And Zane is happy to talk about what it's like to be a boggan, but doesnt' name names of any girls
