catnik 9:32am
Dagmar bypasses her family, going home and shutting herself into her room.

Odin greets her, and almost instantly senses she's not in a good mood. This requires his handling. He moves to her, in reach to be touched
catnik 9:35am
She curls up with the one-eyed cat, and it's when she's alone that she cries, muffled by her companion's fur.

Odin understands, and keeps Dagmar's secrets
earldebuke 9:38am
It takes time, then there is a gentle knock
earldebuke 9:38am
Her father, she can tell by the weight
catnik 9:39am
"What?"
earldebuke 9:39am
"Is everything okay?" He asks
catnik 9:41am
"Yes. Go away."
earldebuke 9:42am
a pause, then "All right. I'm here when you need me." A grunt (Love you)
catnik 9:42am
Quiet from the other side of the door.
earldebuke 9:45am
A lingering, then a deep rumbling sigh. He is torn between pushing the matter and risking her sense of privacy, or going and leaving her possibly alone.

Odin headbumps Dagmar during this
catnik 9:46am
Pets.
earldebuke 9:47am
And her father's footsteps depart, taking her dad with him back down the steps.

catnik 9:52am
She takes out her phone, tapping through her contacts.
earldebuke 9:53am
There's her friend's list.

May. Lupe. Symon, Sylvi. Siv. Piper. Gerd. Nadeen. Connor. Scroll, scroll, scroll.
