"What wasn't?" Brow.

"As a Selkie, he could leave the isle, come back again.... handy that. Brought us fish but..." A sigh "He was manipulative. USed her for some scams. Your mother is an honest girl, but there were things he had her drop off, without opening. Questionable stuff."

Symon's scowl is somewhat hidden behind his greasy hair.

"And the Oath?"

"Only your mother knows exactly what she swore to him" Torin frowns "Damn. I hated her keeping secrets. Look, I can teell you what Eamon looked like and what form his skin came in, but I don't know the oath"

Dagmar nods. "Tell me that, please?"

"hand some cuss. Shaggy brown hair, bit of stubble that seems just too calculated for me. " And he desccribes the guy

Giving height etc

"Did they, uh. Were they an item?"

"Does he know she's a family lady now? Married and shit?" A side glance at Dagmar.

"She said they were not dating or anything like that" He answers "And I have no idea what Eamon knows now"

"And his skin?"

"A seal skin belt, very pretty, wave patterns on it" He says "He often keeps his shirt over it though to hide it"

A nod.

"You should go help with CJ, if you can?"

Symon nods. "If Jaymes gets called to patrol, it would be helpful to have another warrior on hand."

"Huh..." A suspcious look "So... I'll just go 'save the day' over there, shall I? While you two do....whatever wilders do? "

"Yeah! Wilder things."

He nods!

"Uh huh" The skald nods, puts something in his grand daughter's hand, then turns and starts to walk towards the ironhawk house "By golly, I think I'll go grump over at my Son In law and daughter's house. Yes sir ree. Maybe yell at a few clouds. Feels like a great day to talk about how back in my day..."

Looks like the mission got a contribution of two twenty dollar bills and a bit of dross , as Dagmar looks down in her mitt

A small smirk. "He's pretty savvy for an old coot." He says once Torin is out of earshot.

A smirk.

"Yeah, I like him."

"What do you think this selkie's angle is? The obvious idea is that he got in over his head, maybe even bartered or lost his skin in a bad wager, and is calling Tove to bail him out of trouble."

"If it was all on-the-level she'd not feel like she needed to hide anything, is my bet."

"And he sounds kinda... well, probably a bit under the level."

"Maybe not malicious, but..." Shrug.

Of course, how to get there..well, they were considering Gerd

Symon takes the initiative and texts Gerd: want me to owe you a favor? Need a ride to Atlantic city- you have tickets that direction?

"Tove'll be pissed. But, you know." SHrug.

Gerd texts back TXT: I might be able to hook you up. Sure. Where are you at now?

“Better pissed and safe then pleased and in danger.” A shrug as he drops the location to Gerd.

"Agreed."

"And I don't have to pussyfoot around an oath to a sleezebag."

TXT: Be there shortly Gerd texts

“Neither Do I. If it comes down to it, if something needs doing, I’m there for people to look the other way.”

"Well, hopefully we won't need to do anything extreme. Just.. she shouldn't be alone."

"Du dah de dadde dee dah dah..." Gerd floats down, wearing dark clothes and WIcked Witch striped socks

"Oh deal with it. I can't be dramatic?" She lands "My boyfriend took me to see Wizard of Oz on the big screen recently. "

"Enjoyed it, then?"

"I did, " She admits "I know it's older than dirt but it holds up and the company was nice. Now, what's this about Atlantic City?"

"We need a lift. Close to a casino."

"Great. Am I allowed in on this quest, or am I just the cab?" A brow lift

"Tove's in trouble."

"But we don't know exactly what or how much."

"Crap. Well, of course I'll help you as much as you allow. Yeah I can get you to AC. Ready right now?"

Dag nods!

"Somewhere over the rainbow, on a Jersy Shore, there's a poor man's vegas where dirty tides roar. This day I'll bunk upon a star and we'll show up with bergen far behiinnd us. We'll battle whatever tove's troubles are, and kick the ass of evil far... it's where you'll fiiind uss.. " And she claps
