"It'd be cool if we could, though. Nice adventure."

"Maybe Olgar would know?"

"If anyone would, he would right? he's like... the closest thing you guys have to some frontier scout? with the dreams"

She nods.

"Huh. Maybe I'll hit him up for some notes. Think he'd talk?"

Grunt.

"Oh right. Trolls don't talk. They grunt and make facial expressions" Lupe smirks

"You got it."

"Maybe there's a trod to your place?"

"We have something like trods. I'm not supposed to talk about htem.. but you can use them to cross the country if you're lucky"

"Cool!"

"Yeah , and you can walk right into a pack of us ready to kick ass. Tend to lead to our holy sites"

"Okay, fair."

"You're a damn fierce fighter, and you said you ain't even, like, the warrior caste?"

"Nope. I'm the judge cast. I get to tell the fluffheaded jokers and the cranky warriors which of them was wrong, and why, and here's their punishment so siddaowan and shut up." A brow "Naturally my 'caste' is beloved" Smirk

"Man, sounds like the Chief. Gotta juggle everybody."

"Why do you think I don't visit you more often? I had TWO bitches.. I feel I can use that word, about ready to tear each up over fighting over the same guy, a kinfolk. My job was to settle things. Each one talked about how only SHE had the 'real connection' and the other was a 'mate stealing bitch'" A sigh

Nose-wrinkle.

"Try to Solomon thing? Cut him in half?"

"Nah Kinfolk are too needed for that shit..I talked to the guy, kind of questioned him, looked up some things on his facebook and did research like that. Then.. I got both of the women together, and asked shit that blew their minds like 'What's your 'soulmate's' favorite color?" 'What's his favorite food?' 'What movie makes him cry?' 'What are his top three favorite songs?' 'How does he feel about being a kinfolk and a second class citizen in the garou world?'"

"So - neither of them got it?"

"Mostly I shamed their asses for not knowing HALF of the answers, that if the situation were reversed they'd be ticked at guys talking about OWNING them, instead of being WITH them and knowing them. "

"So kinfolk don't get to pick who they're with? That's some bullshit there."

"Oh not among the Gnawers, we're a lot more democratic.. but these two werent' Gnawers. that's part of my education. Putting up with dumb asses from EVERY Tribe, not just dumbasses of MY tribe"

"Gotcha."

"But, like, it's not like tribes can't mix?"

"Oh they have to" She nods "Not enough of us now to have packs of just one tribe often"

"I mean, even our little gather has Gnawers, CHildren of Gaia, and more"

"Like how some Lodges were all trolls, but we aren't anymore."

"And Torin's dating a boggan - she's nice enough, I think. They're like hobbits. Very short."

A brow "We don't use the term short anymore, the politically correct term is 'Gaia's most beloved'"

Snerk.

Elbow. Grin

"Still, I think you're taller than Myrtle Ann."

"I like her then"

A yelp from the woods.

And Jumper comes out with a scratched nose complaining "We were just playing.. geez"

"Well, he was sharp!

"Ah, a few scratches will make them better warriors in the end" Lupe says

"I'm not gonna argue with wolf-wisdom."

"Ha, you led with your FACE" Jumper's sister is not a source of comfort.

Siblings

"Yep. We're chalk full of it." Lupe nods "Wisdom, I mean"

Snerk.

The Owlcat griffin thing comes out a moment later, cleaning it's paw, then finds a sunny spot, and falls asleep snoozing.

"Incredible" Lupe observes

"I think he seems happy."

"The bully" A snort "He does remind me of Odin."

"Bully?"

"There's ONE of him!"
