Tove says "Okay, you've been in a good mood ever since Lupe offered you a chance to go get killed on a prodial quest. Should I be worried?" She mimes checking her daughter's temp by putting a hand to her forehead

"It's a quest, with my friend!"

"I'm gonna see the werewolf dreaming!"

"How many fae can say that?"

"Skyla Ulfvran" Tove answers "But as she died long ago, I guess not many others no" Fondness, and yes motherly concern "You'll bring a light jacket in case it gets cold in their dreaming?"

"Yeah, sure. OH, did you know Gwydion had werewolf children?"

"I'll try to get the stories, for sure. And oh, you need to hear Lulu sing! She's good."

"I'd love to meet Lulu. Any friend of Lupe's is a friend of ours"

"Exactly."

"I bet she'd like to hear the old songs, from you and your dad."

"Please, call him grandpa, it makes his day" A wink

"I... I dunno..."

"Oh" She realizes "I'm sorry honey, you don't have to call him anything .."

"I could try it, maybe. Dunno."

"I thought that's how you thought of him" She admits, "Has he not been attentive enough since he adopted Jack? I don' want you drifting apart"

"I do. Just..." Shrug.

"He's my grandfather, but... never had a 'grandpa' and it's weird."

"Grandfather works fine, or just Torin " She bends down and ggives her daughter a hug "Jack DOES like being called uncle by you though. Makes him grin"

"Yeah." She smiles.

"We're an odd family, but I wouldn't trade it for the world"

"Yeah. Me too."

Outside, laughter can be heard... "Can't catch meeee...."

"that would be Lane sounds like" she smiles

"Yeah, it does."

"Tiara might try jousting - she's one of the new ones."

"Joust Club eh?" A smilee then, "How do you dismount a Centaur?"

"Yeah, we need to figure that out. Maybe start a point down, but that doesn't seem fair. Maybe put a sack of potatoes on her back?"

"Mmm sack of potatoes?"

"A dummy?"

"Oh. Mmm I see what you mean. Might work. My, they're certainly goingg to leave a mark, for the good I hope"

"I guess"

"The important thinng is you have fun. I take it you and Tiara are hittingg it off?"

"She's okay."

"I'm glad. It's good for them to also hanng out with non centaurs'

"Well, yeah. Or they'll end up all antisocial and weird."

"Yes," A sigh "Thyle was troll dominant and it.. backfired. But you know my View on THAT place"

"Yeah. Thyle sucked."

"Only good part is finding all of you and getting you here."

She beams at that, "Oh someone is getting ice cream. Want me to make you a sundae?"

"A float?"

"You got it . Exra chocolate?"

"Nope. Dr. Pepper and vanilla please?"

"Ah, definitely!" She smiles and darts back

Of course, now that Damar's lap is there... Odin leaps up into it

"Hey there." Odin gets scritches and all appropriate worship.

Odin appears to want some love, as he rubs back and forth under her scritchinng hands. Aren't you lucky I let you be my person?

"Very lucky, yes."

Good you know this. Now, let me lick from your float

the float is set down, tove eying the cat "I don't like that look in his eye"

"He's plotting."
