In almost record time, the Narwhal pops to the surface in the bay, rising up from the waters. The Redfin recognize it as the ship that they helped save and helped them in return.

Piper leans over the rail, waving!

a plank is exxtended "Get on board" Siv says clearly wanting to grab and run

"No, come over. We need to talk."

A whoop of a cheer from Aoife across the deck. "Another round! Send for more rum!"

"And THEN..." the captain can be heard

Siv makes a horn yank motion as if trrying to GIMMIX her love here. But not one of her abilities so she steps off the Narhwal and moves fast , for a troll, getting to her side "Piper, we really do need to get going, the sea monster is in thesse waters and it KNOWS me and mine"

"That's what I'm trying to tell you. The monster is gone."

"If you don't believe me, ask the lookout. Ask the Captain. heck, ask the SHIP!"

"Ask the... you... you got rid of the monster? HOW? She was a beast"

"Magic, the help of a wizard and a mountain, a treasure, a bit of luck, and a twist of the dreaming. It actually didn't work out like I planned... but it turns out that maybe that was for the best."

"OH, so Zane is involved. You've got other cousins, he won't be missed , putting you in danger like this"

"He didn't put me in danger." Firmly. "This was all my idea."

"I am.. angry proud,..and Anoud" She says

Then HUGS Piper tightly

Siv then kisses her softly, "You're amazing, you know that?"

"Well... I also kinda..." She pauses and returns the smooch. "Made more work for Jonas and Ann Marie." Sheepish.

Siv tilts her head "Sounds like a story..." She hears the music, and Jonas has come up to take a kiss too... "Yes, a story. Time for a party perhaps? A SHORT One"
