"Lupe didn't give me anything."

"No.. the Silver Fangs did" he makes a gesture... and suddenly Dagmar feels the mark she had made light up!

"Hey!" She bristles.

"Yes. I have helped your people before. I've met Falcon."

Suddenly ALL the garou are standing, not hostily, but they are looking her over anew "She's been marked by another pack" Concete Lullaby says

"Shit, well... it's officlal, the darn Wyld one has more renown than we do" Don laughs

"There was a monster. A sickness-monster. I helped defeat it." A beat. "It didn't really look like a worm, it had claws and shit."

Suddenly Lulu is meeting her amber eyes with her own beautiful ones "I must have this story"

"I.. sure, okay."

The othes all gaher around

"It starts with one of our Elf-Lords going missing.... and, well, a Knight if sworn to valour, right? So I was called on to help find and, if need be, rescue him..."

Lupe smiles proudly as the story starts

Lulu stares her with such intensity, like a wild beast that isn't afraid to meet a person's gaze

And a tale unfurls - of the caged Corax and the deceiver hidden under a friendly face, of a dark spirit looking to cause war between the children of Oberon and those of Luna...

Don laughs and says "Probably caught the Corax by putting a sign that said 'stay out' in the cage"

Winston shushes him

And yes, of being led by a Falcon-spirit, the symbol of Gwydion.

Dolly looks like her heart is breaking for those sickened

"Really, stags and wolves are pretty important to Gwydion, too - he spent time as both, you know..."

Dolly may or may not care for the description of the battle - Dagmar joined the fray with the Garou, after all.

But the possession was discovered, the bane defeated, the Elf-lord freed, and peace preserved.

"Damn, so marry me?" Don asks when they are done

"Believe it or not, that's his way of saying he's impressed" Lupe assures

"As am I," Sour Wind ponders "But how did you get a frog fetish?"

"So that's how I got the flute. It can stop a rage."

"Oh - that was a gift. From the bird."

"Oh" Dolly smiles "I like frog. He's cute"

"Its nifty. And I think the peepers liked the fly-bait I left."

"Now that was down right sweet of you" Dolly is impressed by the kindness

"Good way to buy a spirit off" The Theurge nods. Seeing it more as a transaction

She shrugs. "You gotta play fair."

"Blasmphemy" The ragabash muters at the play fair part "Right shadow lord?"

"Sit on my claw and spin, Fianna" Said shadow lord replies

"guys? Can we act professional here?" Lupe snorts at them both "i swear sometimes "

"I see what you mean." To Lupe.

Lupe grunt nods

"Hey, what did she say about us?" Don the Fab pesters

Dag looks over at the Philodox.

"Just the truth" Lupe says loftily

"So, is there anything you want to know about me?"

"Well, I admit, I was goinng to ask if you could fight well because it's my job to protect the pact i nnbattle" Dolly answers "but it appears you can indeed. "

"I am not as fast as you guys, though. But I am stronger than I look." Quoth the Amazon.

"She is, and, she can ride one of us if need be, though she's not light" Lupe ttells them thenn looks to Daggmar 'No offense"

"Well, I'm not."

"You don't mind riding one of us?" Lulu asks.. perhaps not realizing how that might sound

Don starts to say something, grin on his face, but Lupe shoots him a look , you know the glare, the one that causes men's balls to retreat inward for protection

"Well, I'd prefer not to? Not sure how everything works in your place."

"If you slow us down we may have to" that from Lupe "Sorry"

"Little Mamacita is a tyrant" Don shrugs "you get used to it"

"Oh, I knew that."
