"Unfortunately," said Hodge, "we're all out of bitter revenge at the moment, so it's either tea or nothing.”

A laugh breaks through the tears at that, Jennifer says "Thank you, thank you all. The tea is.. is wonderful" A sip

Zara sips her own tea.

Siv nods "It is," Sipping as well, though she's not as fond of tea as someothers she's not about to complain.

"How.. how do I help?" Jennifer asks?

"By talking to the other girls and helping us take him down," Siv assures, "We can't just smash him.. we have to expose him."

"Mmm.."

"A sidhe, you said? One must be clever in revenge."

"Aye, we're working on it. Sylvi's got a few plans" Siv says

"Sylvi? Oh, she can be vicious."

"She can?" Jennifer says

"I love her to death, but she's got an edge to her fangs " Siv nods

Nod. SIp.

"But..what can be done?" Jennifer says

"Social destruction, so he has a reputation that makes his lies that much more unlikely to work"

Siv says "We'll make it happen. Now, think if you would, of his secrets.. what we can use against him? Not just what he told you... but where he took you, what he said to others."

"Oh, boggans may prove of use in that... secrets spread far and fast on halfling lips."

"Wish Luci was back" Siv says

"The boggan? She is. More of her than left, s'truth."

"What? How.." Siv then catches herself "Silly me, should have known you'd know more of it than I would. Good eyes on you, Raven."

"I should visit. It seems to be interesting times in Rivervale."

"You'd be welcome, Gerd is..well, she could use someone who appreciates Tea, and I'm awlays happy to have a friend" Siv says "Though, you maybe seeing more of me here"

"Ah yes, the new cub."

"Heard about that too huh?" Siv smiles sheepishly

"I do have ears."

"Now.. I am not one to bend knee, or to swear... but I believe I see the draw for you."

Jennifer has..fallen asleep? Bronte in her arms.

Siv turns, then says "oh poor girl. Rest will do her good," then a look to Raven "The Baroness warned me it would not be easy. I think she means to show me the ugly side as well"

Zara tuts and tucks a shawl around the girl's shoulders. "Do make the boy pay, Siv. It is most unmannerly to play so."

"We will... though it's all we can do to hold Dagmar from jsut treating him like a wishbone. Dag's a good lass, cares a lot for those wronged"

"Oh, that one has a temper."

"Natural Gwd" She agrees "And i'm hoping the Fiona fit me as well. I am a bit..ah worried that it may make a relationship with just one fellow tricky. The house is not all slatterns and the like..far from but... tends to be difficult"

"Well... trolls are passionate, and love deeply. But... few are reckless." An eloquent eyebrow.

"Ah" A blush "me being the exception what proves the rule?"

"Mayhaps."

"S'truth - you are no Gwydion, nor Liam. But, pray, what do you wish to gain from the House?"

"It's more like the House and I walk a similar path anyway. True love conquers all is..key to me. Even above honor." A thought "I like how they work, to boldly dare, to lead with heart while still using their head. "

"You can admire a house without joining. There are houses I... respect. Ones I think I would fit well in, were I to play that game."

"You sound a bit like Jonas" A brow

"You are a troll - an Oath carries quite a bit more for you than other kiths."

"I know that," She says "My father is a Liam, and torin was once oathbroken"

A huff. "And Fiona are no fun. The only way to scare them is to threaten others, and that is hardly satisfying. They have no respect for a startle, nor for a perfectly cultivated pitch of shadows and cobwebs. Nay, they just barrel through, laughing."

"You're not dissuading me here" a she wolf grin

"NO fun." Petulant.

"would it help if I pretended to be terrified? Just for you?"

Sulk. "I would know."

"If it helps, I'd happily direct you to targets what deserve it" A pause "Don't know if you've heard of Miss McGillicudy"

"Oh?" Sip.

"As unpleasant a woman as I've ever met in me life..." And she rrelates the tale of the constantly complaining woman who makes everyone misserable

"Oh, she sounds delightful!"
