He clears his throat, and sets more boxes out on the lift apron.

"Sorry, Frank. I didn't ask for your help just so you could be chewed out" A frown from Jaymes. "Satyr temper. I am not used to that"

A soft chuff. "That? that doesn't bother me, Jaymes; I don't take it personally."

"mm" A nod then "Do you think she was right?"

This as they work

(And Perception Plus Kenning for Frank)

"No."

A nod, good enough for Jaymes then.

Frank finds something in the magazine box. Under the national geographics and fishing magazines, there's another...

He frowns; he checked the invoice against what was in the trailer....

A blank Magazine? Save for the words: 'Swimsuit Imaginated' or some such?

Wait, he's heard of thsese before

A touch of glamour and it becomes a magazine of those one is attracted to, in beachwear regala

"Hmph. You want this?" He offers it to Jaymes. "Careful, touch it with Glamour and it shows you... well, it's a swimsuit issue of people you know."

A brow "Tove can be very forgiving, but I'm not sure I want to test those limits" He says

"Well. I can take it back to the Lodge, use it for dross."

"Sure, whatever you think works best" A nod

Frank takes it around to the cab and puts it in the driver's door pocket.

"mm why would anyone even make such a thing?" Jaymes asks him

"Not sure. Don't even know where it comes from, or how. Wasn't in here when I checked the invoice."

"mmm" A shrug "If your'e not worried about it, I 'm not I guess. "

"Not worried about the magazine, just about how it got in there."

"mm" A brow then a nod "You going to look into it? I feel like my little job just gave you mroe work"

"Might. Don't really see how though. I went to the yard, hooked up the trailer, checked the boxes against the invoice and brought it here. It wasn't there when I left and it's here now. Trailer was locked on the road. Guess .... Guess the Dreaming or Da'an might have dropped it there. Maybe you should take it, then?"

A shake of his head "You found it."

"In a load of your stuff. You signed for it."

"Unless you're sure it was meant for me. I'd rather leave it in your hands than mine."

"It was sent -here-." Frank points out.

"No reason to say you -have- to give it Glamour, and you can use it for dross just as easily."

OOC AFK - 🚗

"All right, Frank. If you think that's best. You know better about this magic and fate stuff" And he will take it

"Door's unlocked." he can get it from the cab.

He does so "If you're sure" Mmmm he eyes the thing in hsi hand as if he expects it to bite him. He doesn't put glamour in it but looks for a place to put it in the store

Frank keeps unloading.

And he unloads as well "How much do I owe you?" He inquires "For the gas?"

"On me."

"mmm. Frank, at least let me pay the gas"

"It's on me, Jaymes. Least I can do."

"You were willing to open a tab and help me out." he points out "We're even."

"mm your math is shakey" He observes "But all right. For now. How's the family? I haven't been by the lodge much."

"Good. Siv is busy with work and her own projects. Brekke's deeply wrapped up in getting the area ready for winter.... and... Samhain's drawing close."

"mmm" A nod at that "Not looking forward to it, but the Dreaming needs balance. Glad to hear Siv and the Chief are both good though. Word from Jessica?"

"Occasionally. Enough. She's well. Busy, of course. Making slow progress towards peace. 'The neighborhood of peace.' she says."

Amazed "She's trying to end an enire war, even if it is for just one county; I have to respect it."

"Yes." and there's a freight load of meaning in the word.

A nod there. Perhaps getting some of the load, as a father who knows worry and pride combined also

"How about yours?"

"I'm not sure Dagmar is enjoying college" He frowns "I know it's not supposed to be all fun and games, but I don't want her miserable. She calls, or texts with her other plenty and I get in on that sometimes. I miss her" He admits "But I also think an education could help arm her"
