Her stomach grumbles. "...and maybe some takeout on the way..."

"I can get us to a good restaurant by ship" Siv smiles "Would you like to visit your moms?"

She swallows. "Wasn't sure if you'd want to, after the last dinner we had there."

"It's not about what I want, it's about what you need" Siv says "And they might be tempted to say hurtful things to me, but.. you're hurting, and if this helps you, then more power to you. Or we could just go to your choice of restaurant near there?"

A perk. "Lazlo's Vegan Diner?" She's mentioned the place more than once, the best veggie tacos on the west coast, and they swear it can't be told from real meat.

"Sure" Siv grins

"It cannot be as good as you claim" Zane says to his cuz

"Wanna bet?"

She turns back to JJJ, and gives him an impromptu hug. "Guess I won't make the party tonight. Can you give everyone my best? I'll try to visit again soon..."

"I will... and you're always welcome" JJJ hugs back "You know I was really tempted to get into your pants while you were vulnerable right? I don't think I deserve a medal, but I would like recognition for my willpower and decency"

Jonas says in a deep droll voice "I'll bake you a cake"

She puts her hands on either side of his face and gives JJJ a BIG kiss.

When she breaks away, she adds, "There you go. Reward for being a good guy, and a little punishment, because that's all you get."

Jonas brows, but then smiles just a bit at her 'and that's all you get'

Siv is more sympathetic "Oh, your poor decent sap" To JJJ

"That good?" JJJ inquires of Siv, enjoying the tingle of his lips

Siv hams it up "Just .. so very.. you've no idea... I forgot my damn name for an hour after, it's not a hard name"

A grin, and she loops arms through her trolls' and is ready to head out.

And off the three, well, Four but Zane is chuckling about 10 feet behind them following, they head to the water to take the Narwhal closer to a certain restauant. Their troubles are not over, the challenge awaits, but the three are willing to fight for each other, and all are wanting to help without expecting an easy fix. And that's, that's not nothing.

JJJ sighs lustily, and goes to tell bach and the gang, passing on the well wishes.
