"Oh...." She laughs a bit sheepishly. "I didn't get past the first stack of records."

"Yeah I can tell you're going to want to camp there..."

"Normally you can't get that kind of feeling off recorded music. It's... really nice." She grins. "And I -am- glad we can help him."

"Oh definitely, we'll earn it. Dad's always saying that kind people are a treasure too easily taken for granted"

"He's a smart feller."

"Best Mountain there is" She radiates pride. For She knows her faher will guide many for years to come

"He's the best mountain -I- know." She grins until Siv realizes he's the only one Piper knows. "I don't really get all of the troll lodge stuff, but it makes a heckuva lot more sense to me than the noble falderal."

"Hey now, we can have both Troll Lodge AND Noble Falderal"

"I'll take the lodge, believe it or not." Chuckles.

"Jonas agrees."

"Has he said anything about the new arrangement to you? I actually worried that we'd be tripping over each other all the time, but I don't really see him all that much more than before. Some nights I work, some nights he patrols... it's working out pretty well. At least I think it is. Troll Stoicism has me worried he wouldn't say if there was a problem."

"That's a fair concern, annd yes, he worries he is getting in your way by he's grateful..." Siv says "More than, he likes that we have a place of our own besides the tree house"

"But we may have to drive home we LIKE him around. IS it too crowded? I mean, two giantts andn vou can really hog your kitchen"

"It's definitely snug. But it works. Call it a starter home - someday we can get a bigger place." She gives Siv a shy glance. "I mean, maybe. You know. Someday?"

Siv headwhips in startlement... not sure how to register that phrasing and ALL It implies- which would be fine, but she keeps walking, and the normally agile girl doesn't seem to realize the road is not perfectly straight, and hits a hedge and falls over it with an OMMPH!

"Siv!" Piper hops over the hedge nimbly and offers her a hand. "I'm sorry, forget it! I didn't mean..."

"No I.. i just.. always thought that .. it would be Jonas or me who.. you know, took it there ... and.. wow.. uhm.. I..." A look up "Y' know, it's ironic you've got me on my back with my legs spread out here after saying that. Just saying"

She offers Siv a hand up.

She takes it, and rises "Hey, you knonw, they MIGHT have a bigger suite at the apartment"

Piper was looking a bit worried there, but she smiles in relief at that. "Do you think it might help some of Jonas's Unga-Bunga He Man Provider urges to help out with the rent a bit?"

"I think you might need him too, evenn at Caesar's discount it has to be a bit more..."

"We'll make it work. If nothing else, I can start charging Rikki balcony rent." She grins!

"Mmph " Sounding disturbingly like her dad at that

"I can pick up a few more shifts at work." Piper allows. "And I can probably hit a few festivals this summer with things reopening."

"I like the second idea better thann the first IF you have to."

"I dunno... at first I was just into the club because it's pretty good money, but now I kinda like it. The music part is nice, but I also feel like it's a good idea to have someone who's not up on the stage watching over things. Sure, there are bouncers, but their job ends at the door. And Candi, Shelli and Brandi are good people." Naming a few of the mortal dancers.

"I'm more worried about Lola Mendoza making a play for you, not that you'd go for her... but she..." A frown as she speaks of the Latina satyress "I think she likes hinting she could have you anytime she wanted. Maybe she's NOT doing that but.." A scowl "Sorry, this is the sort of thing your mom warned me about I guess, that I miht get fussy. "

"I like Candi" She admits "Damn, she's SMART.. ironic given the stagename and bimbo act she pulls off"
