"But sometimes it's good just being friends." Dagmar lays back on the rock, looking up at the sky through the trees.

"Better tahn good. " She nods "Best and looks as well "Winter's cold as fuck, but it has bad ass skies"

"Well, you can bundle up in winter, or make a fire, or drink hot cider..."

"We can" A nod "Maybe hit your mom up for some cocoa?"

"Ooo, yeah. Let's go."

And off they go to pester ..err entreat

Hot Cocoa is nummy

Even better with cookies!

Tove smiles but doesn't intrude on the girls TOO much.

As Lupe talks about her idiot older brothers "So, Migeul is all smug that he's prime breeding stock.. what he doesn't know is that if she finds him with another woman, she'll not be happy"

"Oh, he knows. He probably just thinks he's slick."

"So fooling himself" She nods and rolls her eyes expressively "Kinfolk.. I should feel sorry for them being like second dclass cittizens but they sure do love the benefits"

Grunt.

"I don't feel sorry for them."

"Like, Sally Mae maybe. But not Adam."

"Oh. I meant Kinfolk, our kinfolk.. you guys got Kinian right?"

"Yeah."

"Sally Mae's cool. Would have flunked Algebra if not for her"

"Oh yeah. she's great at math."

"Adam still getting under your skin huh? I thought he moveed?"

"He did." Her eyes roll. "And he's still not happy."

"Oh, boo hoo, I live in a fairy castle with a sexy bimbo but poor me, I'm only potentially an elf."

"Does he not know how hard you guys work? I mean.. your elves seem a bit spoiled but I still hear they fight and shit. And make hard choicees. Right? "

"He only knows what he wants to know. I'm glad he's gone. I don't want to go back to school."

"Back to school?" Confused "I thought you were okay with our school? I mean, online is... boring but.."

"Yeah. Online is better than the other." Huff.

"I hate it, though. No gym, no track, no shop."

"Me too. But 'go back'? Wha's up? Is this like that program youw ere on for a month or two last year? Last Semester"

"Yeah. A school for.. y'know, us."

"I liked having classes in person better than the computer, but I'm not going back. And I don't like computer classes. I wish it were summer already."

"Oh. Wait, was Adam at this school for faevier's gifted?"

Grunt.

"Oh geez. Wait, small classes with an Ex in the same class? Whose brilliant idea was THAT?"

Grunt.

"So, whatever, online is fine. I got you and May."

"You're darn straight, and you know what? We're gonna get that vacine and get badck to our regualr high sschool damn it"

"God yeah."

"Who woulda thought anybody would miss school?"

"I know right? I mean, I do not htink of myself as a PEOPLE person"

Snort.

"Out of the three of us, you are SO the talker."

"What? Oh rude.. and besides, I only talk because there are stupid people out there who do not know they're stupid, and it's up to me to tell them"

Quiet grin.

Ffft but a bit of a blush

"Okay girls... I got HBO max so.. Wonder Woman 1984?" Tove offers

"Yes!"

"Your mom is the BEST"

"No, I'd be the best if I told you to Text May and see if she could join. We'll tell them we'll wear masks"

Turns out, May can!
